Ford: "Exum workout was a wow I'm told."

[Jameerthefear]

There have been. They've been big fans of Marcus Smart, but I've heard neither of his workouts have been particularly strong. The Exum workout was a wow I'm told. But so was the Noah Vonleh workout. While I don't completely rule out Smart there, I think it will either be Vonleh or Exum. Some of their choice may come down to who they believe will be available to them at 12.

Nobody cares about who Orlando is taking, you asswipe. Exum's gonna bust harder than I did on your mom and sister last night.

If Magic go Exum with 4, who are top 2-3 they would want at 12?

Saric, Stauskas, James Young ...

Napier is getting looks as high as Orlando at 12. Bulls and Celtics are also in the mix for him. So that's not a reach. Hairston is getting looks from Minnesota at 13 on ... so he's not a reach either. LaVine is great if you are swinging for the fences. He has more upside than either Napier or Hairston. But he's risky too.

Also, DE changed their mock draft from Smart to Exum. They were very impressed apparently.

i lol'ed too...

but i'm very high on exum and think orlando should take him.

[plowking]

Hairston and Shabazz getting looks as high as 12 and 13?

I think this is going to be one of those drafts where guys getting predicted to go in the mid first rounds could end up going in the second round, and guys on the fringe of the first like Hairston and Shabazz get taken mid first.
Wouldn't be surprised to see guys James Young and TJ Warren slip, while KJ McDaniels and others get taken higher.

If we take Smart we're idiots, we might as well take Exum I guess.

You're an Aussie... what are your thoughts on Exum?

I feel like I have a good feel for all of the top prospects with the exception of Exum... not sure what to expect.

Tough call between him and Vonleh.

McDaniels is gonna be unreal on defense. Should go pretty close to the lottery.
