2014 NBA Draft

[INFORMER]

Marc Spears has an article on Clint Capela:

One NBA scout said Capela's body and game reminded him of Milwaukee Bucks center Larry Sanders. But several scouts also cautioned that Capela is raw, has a poor jumper and needs to gain strength.

"I don't know if I've seen a guy that size that can get up in the air that quickly," one NBA scout said. "Great length. Good hands. He made some difficult catches. He's very raw, but he has a lot to work with. He can't shoot and needs to be more vocal.

"But you just don't find a lot of guys with that size with a quick twitch, quick second jump, great length and runs well. He definitely has a high ceiling."

Capela said it will cost an NBA team $500,000 to get him out of his French contract.

[TOO]

Sounds identical to Nerlens Noel. Wiz pick draft and stash?

[carey]

Capela was awful in the hoop summit game yesterday.

5 points, 4 fouls, one bucket...

[TOO]

From what I understand, not many looked good outside of the US kids.

[INFORMER]

No one impressed me, but I wasn't giving the game my full attention. I'm going back to re-watch the entire thing.

[TOO]

Montrezl Harrell is returning to school.. Probably smart.

[carey]

Willie Cauley-Stein: I'm proud to say I'm coming back for my junior year. I still have an empty spot to fulfill and in no rush to leave the best fans in the USA!

I had him pegged as a target with our later first. Oh well. Good for Kentucky though.

Same here - had him with the Indiana pick.

That's huge for me. He was probably my top choice for the Suns.

Syracuse forward Jerami Grant plans to announce he’s heading to the NBA draft, his father, Harvey, told SI.com on Monday. Jerami Grant will sign with an agent, according to his father.

Ugh, I just know he's going to end up with the Suns.

Nah, we have enough 3/4 tweeners. We need shooters and interior play.

[INFORMER]

I'm telling you, McDonough's going to go bonkers for him.

[TOO]

I'm not saying youre wrong, but I hope you are. He's like Hakim Warrick 2.0 to me.

Same here. He was my favorite (available) PF for our team from upcoming draft. I like him more than Payne and Capela.

[INFORMER]

He's exactly what the Suns need: a beast in the paint. There is no one on the team that offers the physicality he does.

Be very interesting to see what the Sixers do if they get 3 and Wiggins and Parker go 1-2. I think you almost gotta take Embid, but they do have Noel.

I think we find out if Parker comes out or stays at Duke another year. Being a Duke fan, I hope he comes back and works hard with the kids coming in to win a ring.

[INFORMER]

If Parker stays, the rest of college basketball (save for Kentucky) should just stay home. Parker with Okafor would be ridiculous.

[In2ition]

Another help for Parker and Okafor would be Tyus Jones. He is a better passer, better ball handler, better game manager, and a better player than Quinn Cook and will help facilitate to improve the team too. I wouldn't hand them the trophy just yet, but it would be fun to watch.

I've read recently that the 2014 class is not as strong as expected (which itself was quite expectable, considering the aberrant amount of hype earlier in the season) and that instead 2015 could be the sh!7, especially in terms of big men.
