Brandon Knight and Khris Middleton are balling right now

[ImHeisenberg]

and if we'd keeped him, don't sign smith and jennings, we would be tanking for the top 5 picks, and we could get a guy like parker or wiggins who got the ball, making knight a better player (and give us a good perimeter defense with knight and kcp)

Well, there's nothing to be done about that, Knight is gone. I'm not nearly as high on Wiggins as most are. He just doesn't show up in a lot of games. He had a national game against OKST a few days ago and he went 1-5 shooting and just didn't seem interested or involved, didn't move without the ball, nothing. Marcus Smart continued to impress me- almost having a triple double despite a poor shooting performance, I'd love to draft that kid and allow him to easily usurp Jennings.

I'd even take Embiid if Detroit fell into the top 3 and Parker was taken. Basically, Wiggins would probably be 4 or 5 on my big board right now. Parker, Embiid, Smart, Randle/Wiggins.

Bucks fan here:

Most of us would admit that Jennings is better than Knight, but mostly because he's a true PG whereas Knight clearly is a SG. You know Knight is bad when a GM sees Brandon Jennings as an upgrade.

Hammond has recently admitted this team is rebuilding so having a player play out of position is a boost to our tank so the more games Knight is our starting PG the better....for this year.

I would venture to say 95% of Bucks fans would still pull the trigger on the deal. Middleton is a keeper and BK would be a nice roster piece as a 2-guard (preferably as our future backup 2). Jennings is perceived as the prototypical "addition by subtraction" player as his effort waned at times (keep an eye on his play after all-star rosters are announced), he refused to play D, and his poor shot selection alienated teammates.

Funny thing is Middleton might wind up being the best player in this deal and I don't think it would surprise fans of either team.

Bucks are already look for a new longterm solution at PG. That should close the book on Brandon Knight

Yeah, we're fine at the PG right?

I can see a team like The Lakers wanting B-Knight. He's can be a big spark off the bench and is a good shooter despite what others think he just has to work on his passing more. I feel like what he needs is a mentor. Too bad we traded him, I thought Chauncey would be able to work miracles on him.

If its any consolation your higher on WIggins than I am. Hes the next Caron Butler. I would take Exum over him and Harris.

I think Wiggins is going to be like Drummond, a guy with a doubtful college year but who has a lot of potential to be a beast.

Exum sure is enticing, but I admit I haven't seen anything more than sizzle reels on him. I absolutely believe Harris is going to be a very good pro. I don't know if I would take him over Wiggins or not. Harris already shows the skills you want out of a wing player, but Wiggins certainly has the higher ceiling.

Then again, considering Detroit's track record of "developing" talent, I'd go with Harris who is much further along as a player.

[Notanoob]

Wiggins had a slow start, but he's been finding his way recently. He's not living up to the "Next LBJ/TMAC" hype he was getting, but he still is an exciting wing prospect.

No way would I take Harris over Wiggins at this point, even though Harris has been really impressive. Wiggins has more potential on both sides of the ball and that potential is already starting to turn into production.
