Still gotta find time to see who I'm gonna speculate on this coming draft!! Exum looks like he will come in with a few followers so autos may be like MCW prices....


Cheers,

But yeah.......... you can't go wrong with this draft I think; as long as you got like a top 8 pick or something you'll likely get a sick player.

 

Wiggins
Embiid
Jabari
Exum
Smart
Randell
Gordon
Vonleh

My latest 'project':

 

 

I feel like he has a little bit of Russell Westbrook in him.

Now along with the fact that reportedly Randle has to have foot surgery, potential #1 pick Embiid has joined him:

How will this affect the draft!?

Wiggins, will he stay though? Could go to the Magic or the 76ers from the rumours still swirling around...

IMO one of the worst teams he could have gone to - pretty bad in regards to trying to expand bball (NBA fan base wise) in AUS. Gonna be tough to follow and buy jerseys of Utaw lol

 

Lakers, 76ers, Cavs, Magic - any would have been better, you've already got a bit of support there since Kobe, Shaq, Iverson, Lebron, Penny, Shaq but Utah? 
Anyone seen Malone or Stockton jerseys being worn proudly?


Cheers,

Malone cards aren't even expensive for that matter. They cost less or about the same as a similar-calibre Legend yet he hasn't signed at all until last year...

Hmmmmmm...... I think it more depends on the player than the location.

it takes a huge talent and personality to make a worldwide phenom and he doesn't have enough to make Utah popular enough for people to mass buy the jerseys. just my opinion. speaking mainly in regards to teams people follow in Australia cause we have no real allegiance but also maybe applies in the US. I dunno. 

 

how many Grizzlies jerseys do you see?
