Unlike in years past I don't have a preference.

I don't know Exum enough to be mad at drafting him and I love the potential of the other three. I am just hoping we at least land 2 or 3 and keep it between Parker/Wiggins/Embiid.

Wiggins

Looks like Parker's Mormon mission is no longer anything to worry about.

1. Embiid
2. Wiggins

tier

3. Parker

tier

4. Smart (I'm plenty open to Exum, I just need to see more in the next 60-days)

I just want a top two pick so we don't have to make any harder decisions.

Embiid
Exum
Wiggins
Parker

Been this way for a while now, likely will stay this way unless I become convinced that there's another two way player better suited for top 4 than Parker, which is unlikely.

Amazing news! Being GUARANTEED one of Wiggings, Embiid, Exum, or Parker is just... Wow.

I think Wiggins is the choice right now, but a lot could change before the draft. Embiid could easily surpass him if his back tests out fine and any future concerns can be alleviated. I would rank Exum 3rd based on upside right now. Having Parker (most likely multiple time All Star but lowest ceiling of the 4) as your potential consolation prize is mind-blowing right now. Giannis, one of these 4 guys, a new ownership, and a new arena. After over a decade of depressing news year after year, this is like all of a sudden jumping off of a treadmill of mediocrity into this:

With Parker declaring, this is the cherry on top of what is the Bucks best year since 2000-2001.

What an amazing season. What an amazing start to the off-season. Save Our Bucks, FTW!!!!!

(1) Lord Embiid

Chasm of Destiny - Tier 1

(2) Wiggins

Precipice of Acceptance - Tier 2

(3) Dante Exum

Canyon of Foreign Interest - Tier 3

(4) Jabari Parker

Quarry of Sorry


Edit: I should note, the only thing I am sure of is Lord Embiid. As a card-carrying member of his royal court, and a purveyor of his lordly decree, I insist ye' heathens convert to the light. Remember: The draft night is dark and full of terrors. Lord Embiid will shine the light.

I would gladly accept any of the other three listed. I really just wanted to play with phrasing describing chasms/canyons/or similar geologic features. :D

Drafting Parker would feel a lot like drafting Glenn Robinson.

Really, I don't see how we go wrong here. Each of the Top 4 are incredible prospects. Quite a fortuitous position we find ourselves in.
