Joel Embiid, Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker are the headline-makers heading into the 2014 NBA draft, but what about the guys who will get them the ball in the offense?
There are plenty of talented playmakers on the perimeter available, and one may even hear his name called before the aforementioned triumvirate.
Perimeter player is admittedly a loose term. It could mean point guards and shooting guards only, it could include stretch forwards who dominate both college basketball and the NBA in today’s game, and it could even include some of the big men who shoot three-pointers.
For the purpose of this exercise, we are going to limit it to strictly guards. Otherwise, we would be breaking down seemingly everyone except for Embiid and Julius Randle. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the top perimeter threats available in the 2014 draft as well as some of the important information about the actual draft.
