Wiggins has to be a lock for number 1.

[3peated]

he'll slip to wherever LA is

[coin24]

How did he break his foot?:confusedshrug: :facepalm

I still think the cavs would be making a huge mistake drafting him. Very high bust potential..

[Uncle Drew]

Oh for ****'s sake.

[PleezeBelieve]

Told you.

Thread title needs to be redone ASAP

[The JKidd Kid]

Not past Phili if at all.

[NuggetsFan]

That complicates things at the top. A broken foot changes the draft. He's not going to fall that far but certainly possible he doesn't go top 2.

[COnDEMnED]

Please not to the Lakers.. Let some other unfortunate team deal with his back and ankle issues.

[madmax17]

He slips just in time for Portland to grab him, you all know it :banana: :lol

[Mr.Kite]

He slips just in time for Portland to grab him, you all know it :banana: :lol

Do you not want him to play in the NBA? Oden and Bowie, remember them?

[-Lebron23-]

Holy sh

[Lebronxrings]

Is he good? Can the lakers get him?

[BoutPractice]

To San Antonio :lol

[fatboy11]

If there's any kind of truth to this, it's hard to see him going #1 overall. Lot of pressure on Cleveland here to not screw this pick up after taking Bennett last year. But with the other options available, they just simply have to go with someone else if they stay at #1.

Hard to imagine Embiid slipping past Boston at #6. I think that's his floor. Coincidentally, that's where Noel slid to as well.

i dont think embiid will drop at all....his upside is too high...not like he tore a ligament..if its a broken foot...thats a bone..that will heal..and he would be ready for the season opener...u dont pass on embiid over a broken foot...the only reason nerlens noel dropped in last years draft was because he tore his acl..if he had broken his foot he would have still been the number 1 pick or at least top 3.

[beastee]

I don't see how Cavs don't pick Parker now. Even though parker is exactly the same position and player type as Bennett, he will actually be the safe pick now. Wiggins still is too risky and they want to Lure Lebron, not isolate him with a SF pick.

Tell that to Yao Ming and Greg Oden

[Trollsmasher]

Chinese league

[Droid101]

Tell that to Yao Ming and Greg Oden
Two other guys that despite injury woes, didn't slip?

Wiggins could play SG.. or LeBron. In general, I think we're just going to keep our options open so IF LeBron wants to come to Cleveland theres room, but if not draft day doesnt handicap us.

Had Yao had issues before the draft?

[outbreak]

He'll fall into the teens I think, an injury like that doesn't go away and keeps recurring. The bone he fractured is one of the key bones for the structure of your foot, if it goes once you'll likely have micro fractures happening your whole career.

[Genaro]

If he falls that hard, I don't think the Celtics are passing him up. If they do, Lakers will certainly draft him.

[iTare]

he's coming to salt lake :applause:

[ArbitraryWater]

All the way to Miami :applause:

[AI09]

Hes not slipping at all he's projected top 3 and he will go top 3

You know the requirement for handles and shooting is even greater for SG than SF right? Wiggins doesn't have the skills to play the NBA 2 right now on offense.

Irving
Waiters
Parker
LeBron
Thompson

Is a pretty legit team.

Best case he drops to 14. He will have a 20 year career in Phoenix.

Yeah, if they were playing Lord of the Rings League.

That team would get murdered inside and killed on the boards.
