    Default Will the 2014 "Legendary Draft" live up to its name?

    Players and their comparisons...(In my opinion)

    Joel Embiid - Hakeem Olajuwon

    Andrew Wiggins - Poor man's Lebron James or Dominique Wilkins

    Julius Randle - Young Al Jefferson?

    Jabari Parker- Carmelo Anthony

    Dante Exum - Penny Hardaway

    Marcus Smart- Oscar Robertson/ Wade

    Doug Mcdermott- Poor man's Larry Bird

    Noah Vonleh- Reminds me of a slightly shorter but meatier Garnett

    Pretty stacked draft if they live to their potential

    Nah. Nothing will beat 03 or 96. Some of those comparisons have me heated

    Joel Embiid - Tim Duncan/Hakeem Olajuwon

    Andrew Wiggins - DeMar DeRozan

    Jabari Parker - Paul Pierce/Carmelo Anthony

    Julius Randle - Poor man's Chris Webber

    Marcus Smart - Better passing version of Dion Waiters(?)

    Dante Exum - Penny Hardaway

    Doug McDermott - Chandler Parsons

    *I honestly couldn't think of a Marcus Smart comparison. He kinda moves like Waiters though so idk. Closest one I could think of

    It will be better than both than 96 but not better than 03.

    Carmelo, Wade and a potential GOAT in Lebron ain't no one that can top that; unless Wiggins becomes Kobe or something (which I doubt).

    Nothing beats the class of 2000 and 2013. Future hall of famers everywhere

    James Harden still sucks ass, but most of those are actually decent comparisons.

    McDermott is nowhere near as athletic as Parsons, and Parsons isn't the shooter that McDermott is.

    Wiggins should be better than Derozan.

    How about a McDermott and Gordon Hayward comparison? Both can shoot the ball pretty well

    That's a good one. I was thinking a tougher, rich man's Kyle Korver. Hayward and Parson have legit star potential, I don't know about McDermott.

    In SAC's current position, we can get Randle or Vonleh. Wouldn't mind Vonleh for some defense
