Jabari has many skills but he doesn't have the feel for the game or know how to effectively use his skills.. Until he he can do those things he'll be an average player..

How crushed would you be right now had we drafted Embiid? Or Exum?

I wouldn't. I'd move Parker right now for either.

Ewww...

Please stop with any and all Blake comparisons.

I think Blake is stronger but their athleticism seems similar imo

Jabari's not even 21 yet, correct? Our staff also doesnt run plays for him at all yet, right?

So we expected Jabari to be at full speed, consistently taking guys off the dribble, knocking down mid range jumpers at a good clip AND improve his defensive and rebounding skills all about a year after an ACL tear during his rookie season.

Who are the 21 and younger players who accomplished this w/o an acl tear during their rookie year? Some of you need to take a step back for a minute.

Giannis goes out, we go down.

I **** hate the Bulls so much.

I mean, maybe I guess I could see the logic in Embiid for Parker. Terrible idea, but I guess I get it. Exum for Parker is just straight up trolling.

Big Dog had maybe the best mid-range jumper of all-time. Jabari cannot hit an open long 2 consistently. I see a smaller, less athletic Griffin. He should be locked in a room with boxes of Big Dog tapes.

Not looking it up on my phone but aren't Jabari and Blake the same size?

Eh, pretty close. Blake's got like 2 inches on him. Roughly the same playing weight.

1. Wiggins
2. Parker
3. Embiid
4. Gordon
5. Exum
6. Smart
7. Randle
8. Stauskas
9. Vonleh
10. Payton

I have a really hard time making any kind of argument that Parker wasn't the right choice at 2. I thought he was the right guy then and nothing has happened with any of those guys behind him to make a reasonable case otherwise unless you are really on the Gordon band wagon, which I don't recall anyone advocating for at the #2.

I actually still think he will be the best guy out of this class when it is all said and done.

Yeah, that is so absurd to me, it's not worth discussing further. Apparently your EViagra has lasted over 4 hours and you should consult a physician.

What is absurd is you thinking a role player like Aaron gordon will be better than Wiggins :lol:

Why do people hate good players??

What the **** are you talking about? Wiggins was never an option for us after he was drafted BEFORE our pick? He is completely irrelevant to who anyone thinks we should have drafted at 2 instead of Parker.

I feel like you are blending posts into some point that I don't know was actually ever made.

Comment 1. RS - I don't think Parker was the right choice at 2
Comment 2. MCG - Who that was drafted after Parker could even reasonably considered "the right choice", maybe some fan would say Gordon but I think that is a stretch
Comment 3. RS says "I'd trade Parker today for Exum or Embiid" which leads to
Comment 4. MCG - That is absurd
Comment 5 Douchebucks - "MCG thinks Gordon is better than Wiggins"
Comment 6 MCG - What the hell are you talking about
Comment 7 Douchebucks - "do you read"

If I follow the chain of events, it appears you chimed in udder nonsense, as no one that I have come across has suggested Gordon is better or will be better than Wiggins. That happened in your own mind.

What was suggested is that I can't reasonably see anyone drafted after Parker that knowing what we know today, you could make the argument should have been drafted over Parker. The lone possible exception, might be if someone is really a big fan of Gordon.

So.......Do you even read what you type?

Seriously though, old mate is getting defensive because people are seeing he's struggling a bit with using the old brain box.

Normally his mum doesn't let him use the computer this much, so he's a bit excited.

Jabari will hit that shot in the future. I'm convinced of it.

Blake is a very good comp though.

lol saying you would trade Jabari for Exum or Embiid is so damn stupid its not even funny..People on this board rushing to complain about something is getting old..A week ago it was how Giannis sucks now he goes for 30 against the Bulls and he's back to being a guy who will dominate...Parker is going to take time but when its all said and done he's going to be very good..his scoring has took a hit but he shows those flashes which i expected..not going to be consistent yet..hes a better passer then we all thought as well
