Well I think it will be Wiggins, and that has me excited. I think Wiggins/Giannis/Sanders is the best 25U defensive trio in terms of potential in the league. And while I don't think either will be a 25 ppg guy, there is a good amount of offensive potential between Wiggins/Giannis as well. That pairing in the open court will be insane.

Sanders will be 26 when the season's under way.

I'm not so sure that it will be Wiggins. That's why I'm worried and wishing that Exum was still in the mix.

If they get Wiggins, great. Another top 10 or lottery pick and things get really interesting (without giving up 31 or 36, even better).

Why do you think Cleveland takes Jabari?

Also, don't know how people aren't more concerned about Parker's conditioning if that report is true of him being at 254 right now. He's only 19. It could become a serious issue as he ages. Is the source that gave that info legit? If it is, how is he that heavy when he's at the most important audition of his life up to this point?

FWIW, Steven Kyler tweeted, "Larry Sanders is on the table but won't fetch a top 10 pick."

The only reasonable excuse would be that he's trying to put on the weight to play the 4 right away and is committed to turning into lean mass or his past foot fracture has limited him. It is concerning. It would be even more concerning to me if he's on top of the Bucks' board and not Wiggins (no matter who goes first) if the poor conditioning is purely due to laziness.

OJ Mayo takes offense at the premise of your post.

In all seriousness, that fat piece of **** should be living at the Cousins Center. If I were Bucks coaches I'd be on him everyday to get to the gym so as to try and prevent lighting another $8 million on fire this season.

Interesting....Let's say LAL somehow lands Klay Thompson like the report suggests and they look to add a big. Would you trade Larry Sanders for a 2016 1st and 2nd plus Steve Nash?

The weight thing is getting overblown. He looked good at the Wasserman workout.

RealGM Bucks forums: Come to talk draft picks, stay to hear stories about people finger banging Twirl's dog.

I am not worried. Has he been weight training? If his conditioning is that bad don't you think the Bucks would notice? There is so little information out there right now. People are over reacting.

When was that?

[LUKE23]

I don't see how it's overblown if the 254/11% report is accurate. 11% body fat would have been second worst at the combine and 254 pounds means he's 14 pounds heavier than when he started the season. Also keep in mind that theoretically, prospects should be in the best shape of their lives for these team workouts.

The only excuse I can really buy is injury prevented him from working out. But that's another concern all together.

I'm starting to wonder if Jabari has a little John Clay in him. Has an ideal weight (probably 230ish), but if he slacks off or gets hurt he'll quickly balloon up.

If this is all true then I am glad it happened now and not after we drafted him. Would love to see some photos or videos of him from the workout.

Obviously I didn't weight him, but, in the Wasserman video, he looked like he had less pudge than when he was at Duke. He also looked quick and displayed nice explosiveness. He looked like he was in good shape
