Who should become the first person to be drafted to the pelicans?

Carter-Williams has one assist in the entire game for Cuse. :hihi: How do you even do that?

I hope we package this year's pick for a lottery in next year's draft.

ya im not really sold on anyone in this draft, i still do like bazz though regardless of people say UCLA runs their offense terribly and I would love to have him, and ya i agree he has paul pierce in him i can see it, but next years draft is freaking insane but i think we wont be a lottery team next year so id be fine with trading this pick for next years

Getting Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins would be insane.

or julius randle, its crazy that the best 3 players in next years draft are all SF in parker, wiggins, and randle, and they all compare to some really great players in the nab

Wiggins reminds me of a scottie pippin clone, he is the definition of an athlete, the kid can fly, is an awesome defender, rebounder, and has a good good enough 3 point shot

andrew wiggins reminds me a ton of melo, can score anywhere and in any way on the court at any time, also has a super high basketball IQ, but not the most athletic person

Julius Randle looks like the next chris webber, at 6"9 he is a tweener and could even grow more, but his jumpshot and rebounding are incredible

If we could land one of them this would be awesome, lets hope we can get a good C or PG this offseason

Comparing parker or randle to wiggins is an insult. Those two are nowhere near his level. A lot of people dont yet understand how amazing wiggins really is. He is the best prospect since Lebron hands down..better than durant... better than davis...better than oden, and he will show that next year in college.

Ps watch out team usa in 2016 and beyond

Team Canada

Tyler Ennis/Myck Kobongo/Kevin Pangos/Cory Joseph
Xavier Rathan-Mayes/Nick Stauskas/Andy Rautins
Andrew Wiggins
Trey Lyles/Anthony Bennett/Andrew Nicholson/Birch
Tristan Thompson/Kelly Olynyk/Samuel Dalembert/Sim Bhullar

Wiggins+Lyles superstar duo is going to be the states toughest challenge next olympics especially with the decline of spain and argentina. Obviously still wont be much of a challenge unless all these young guys end up being stars.

No one is comparing them man...

Lol, he is a Canada homer. Can't you tell?

Good to know Guru is already scouting the 2014 draft for us... :rolleyes:

I don't see Parker in next years draft, but I do see Randal and Wiggins. Parker is going to go on a mission for his church, while the other two will go on to make millions (following their freshman year).

I don't know much about Randal, but here is a quick comparison of Wiggins and Parker

Wiggins is canadian?? Never mind, he's trash.

You all can say that all you want about trading the pick, but you would rage out just like me on draft night. :hihi:

If it was to a team not named the Bobcats, Wizards, or Magic, and it was not an unprotected (or at least not top pick protected), then yes I would be upset, but I would be happy to trade our pick this year for a lotto pick in next years draft.

It's also been reported that he won't be going on that mission.

Starting that mission talk was PR machine. Make his character look higher that he was at minimum conflicted.

Yeah but I don't see why ANYONE would do that, for the same reason that we want to trade the pick :hihi:

It's all about perspective. Young men in the Mormon church can now start serving at 18 as opposed to 19 (the age requirement prior to Oct. 2012). Just because he isn't going at 18 doesn't mean he won't be going at all. The article just says he isn't planning on serving right out of high school is all.

He has a good head on his shoulders and good parents helping him through some crazy decisions.

He will go and be back for the 2015 draft.

Yeah, so we are stuck with it. Might as well tank out and hope for McLemore.

agree, these are the only teams i would trade it with.

What about the kings? I dont see them being any better

If the Kings got the right coach they could be the Jailblazers of the late 90's with Sheed, Grant, Stodamire, and Sabonis.

But like PH said, none of those guys are dumb enough to make that trade, so hold out hope we can win the lotto and take McLemore, or Smart.

Here is a name to kick around when you are talking pg's.

Kyle Anderson. He is a freshman pg for the UCLA Bruins, and he was second team PAC-12. He put up 9pts, 3asst., 8 reb, 1.8 stls, but 2.1 to's. Like I said, he is a pg, but in UCLA's system he was used as a swingman. He is 6'9 but quick. If he comes out, it would be worth keeping an eye on his landing spot.

Wait he's 6'9" and a PG? I'm confused.

he's a small forward

SF 6"9 235 7"2 wingspan, tall and long
