2014 NBA Mock Draft 1.0
Here is the first official Keeping It Real Sports break down of this year's NBA Draft featuring one of the best classes in over a decade. Names like Embid, Wiggins and Parker may dominate the headlines but there are many other great players ready to be picked late in the first round.
The Rise Of Lance Stephenson
Brooklyn, NY, its own city within one of the biggest cities on earth. Brooklyn, where the basketball courts are never empty and always seem filled with kids who take jumpers and moves in honor of their favorite players. 10 years ago, some of you may have seen a young, brash, guard named Lance Stephenson take the courts with vigor and pride as he tried to dominate every opponent that was against him. No matter what age his opponent was, he attacked with ferocity and little fear.
The Tank For Wiggins Division
The #TankForWiggins division needs a new name; the public got so caught up with the number 1 High School recruit that we forgot about the other recruits this year. Whether it is #ScandleForRandle or #BarterForParker (Alright I am working on the latter) teams in the NBA have shown the EXACT opposite for tanking for these players.
Talent vs Value
There is a thin line between value and talent. The public perception can become quite muddled when trying to differentiate the two. The definition of value is “the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something”. This is why we have awards like the Most "VALUABLE" Player to award the player who meant the most to their team.
