Official #2 Pick Thread - BP says it's down to AW/JP

[BobbyLight]

FWIW, Bill Simmons as of now believes the Cavs are leaning Jabari.

I really struggled with Simmons being an actual source of info because he just never seemed the type, but after blowing all local media out of the water in regards to the Bucks sale, it makes me think he has some sort of actual connection. Which makes me happy, because I really want Wiggins.

I think the real question is, would we rather have a bunch of Canadians or Chicagans infest our board a la Aussies in 2005?

They both sound pretty terrible to me. Maybe Nowak has been right the whole time.

Can someone explain the TJ Warren love? I just don't see it

Good scorer at 3/4. Might not have the star potential, but a very good contributor. I think he could easily be a Markieff Morris type 6th man.

I don't see it, but if we took him and became that, I'd be pretty happy

If Parker is a legit 6'9" 250, I finally realized what type of player he is: David West/Antawn Jamison

[SupremeHustle]

Sit back and enjoy Thursday. We are going to get one of the two, but the choice is out of our control.

If you want to discuss stuff, read the RealCavsFan.com to get their take on who Gilbert might draft at #1 or if he deals the pick. That's where the action is for Bucks fans. See what emanates out of Cleveland.

Of course.

Oh well. I will cheer for Wiggins and hope he doesn't get confused and stand in the same corner, at the same time as Giannis.

Give me the 6'9" 254 pound Power Forward that can move like that.

I used some of my sources to get a picture of what Jabari looked like at the workout with the Bucks.

Fence sitter until we actually make the pick. I'm good either way.

He's two players who are nothing alike?

[smauss]

I voted Parker emphatically!

His ability to handle the ball makes him a lot different than those two.

I want Parker

Trade Ersan

Keep all young guys and see how fit together this year

Yea, if Parker is the pick then trading Ersan has to be part of the plan. Obviously if people are saying Parker has the ability to be a 20 ppg guy sooner rather than later then he starts from day one. And you don't let Ersan sit on the bench and watch his trade value diminish even further. Trade him now while you can still get something of value (hopefully) and move forward with the young guys.

Jabari "The Bridge" Parker.

That 11% figure seems a liiiiitle low.

Looks like this is a two player discussion now, but...

I loved Embiid. Even when I heard about his injury initially, I was hopeful he'd end up with the Bucks. But after thinking about it, I can't be on board with that. Broken bones in rapid succession, to me, signifies underlying bone problems (not some freak injuries, as some imply). He breaks a bone today, he'll break another later.

Furthermore, he needs time to develop his skills, as he hasn't been playing basketball for long. But if he's on the shelf for extended periods of time, how would he work on them?

[mcfromage]

Wiggins or Jabari th87?

[WiscSports1]

Parker has been my guy all year, I'm not changing now.

On the other hand...does Wiggins have more potential? Easily, BUT who knows if he will ever reach that full potential whether it be his drive or coaching. I don't think he reaches his peak. Give me the guy that what you see is what you get.

[[MIKE C]]

Prefer Wiggins but will be happy with either. For me the disappointment and draft day now will come if the Bucks are not able to pull off any other moves, even though I know it's a long shot with Hammond. I'll be excited about who we get at two, but this is such a loaded draft and it seems like the opportunity is there to add another pick, it'll be a shame if something doesn't come together.

[Sherman Douglas]

This is almost surreal. After thinking it was so unlikely but crossing my fingers for over a year, we're actually going to get Wiggins or Parker in Milwaukee.
