Might need a draft part 3....what if Parker goes on a 2 year mission? No way I take him.

I am torn between Wiggins and Embiid.

Kyle Anderson SF UCLA
James McAdoo SF/PF UNC
Jahii Carson PG Arizona State
CJ Fair SF Syracuse
Isaiah Austin C Baylor
LeBryan Nash SF OK State
Joe Jackson PG Memphis

Highlighted the ones I also like. Used to be really high on Nash but the more and more I watch of him the more I'd just rather pass.

Anderson and Jahii are 1st bound.
The others.. I won't touch them at all, maybe with a really late 2nd, well Fair maybe, and that's all.

It should be between Parker and Exum for the Bucks with the 1st pick

Wiggins
Parker
Embiid
Exum
Randle
Lavine
Smart
Vonleh
Harris
James Young

Young could fall or rise for me depending on how his efficiency improves but strictly as a prospect I like him a lot. Much better then Hood right now.

I also would love to see us snag a later 1st to get Selden who is falling.

Kansas is playing on ESPN 2 right now against Oklahoma for anyone who's interested in watching Wiggins/Embiid.

I kind of hope we pick 3rd so the choice is out of our hands.

Who is Embiid dominating?

Nobody. But he's played for 3 years and is a big which generally take more time to develop (or so they say).

I just think back to Melo and Durant and remember them beasting fairly consistently...you knew they'd be good pros. And then you have Wiggins and Parker just kind of blending in with everybody else.

Uber-athletic 6'10 forward that's projected to go in the late 1st, but I'm thinking if he's there with our 2nd, he'd be a great "low-risk, high upside" guy to target.

He just got cleared to play and started up class Monday. He's easily gonna play his way into a top 10 pick. He's gonna be a narch madness shining star for Florida. Future NBA all-star IMO

He will be in China/dleague in 3-4 years.
I hope he does not declare, he is nowhere near a bball player right now.
He does not even know what team ball means, terrific athlete with 0 basketball skills.

Regardless, from a college basketball fandom standpoint, it's going to be extremely interesting to see how he fits in with that team and what kind of work he's put in behind closed doors for the past few months. Definitely a wild card situation.

Embiid sporting the Kareem goggles.

I know this is just one example....but let's not forget Derrick Rose had a very pedestrian freshman year at Memphis up until the tourny. Just because Wiggins isn't dominating doesn't mean anything. The Harkless comparison video was especially LOL worthy

The weird thing about that situation was that Robinson could have forwent signing with SAS and re-entered the draft once his service was completed because he didn't have a contract with SAS. I wonder if that's the same rule today?

If a player is drafted and does not play professional basketball for one year I believe he becomes a free agent?

If Parker was picked this year and then didn't play professionally next year, he could re-enter the draft in 2015. If he got picked and again sat out a year, then he could become a free agent in 2016.

Parker does not seem like the kind of kid who would dupe a team into picking him and then leave them high and dry, so I have to think he'll make a final determination before the draft. Using a religious experience as leverage doesn't seem like something he would ever do, but I suppose you never know once he has an agent

If you got drafted by the Bucks you would need a religious experience to cope.

Beat me too it! Or since we compare everything Embiid does to the Dream, it's a good thing that he once wore goggles too in 1990-91.

Nice shot by Wiggins. Guy just looks like an NBA player.

Now if we managed our 2 rounds picks and crappy vets right we might be able to get another mid to late first which would be icing on the season.....

but it isn't going to happen

Seldon looks good too. Lot of NBA talent on Kansas.

Jayhawks' guard play is not good.

breakchains · Post #97 » by **breakchains** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 12:29 am

Embiid is my clear #1. Still evaluating my 2/3 between Parker and Wiggins. Big drop after that for me. Exum, Randle, LaVine, and Gordon are fighting for the 4 spot, for now.

TroyD92 · Post #98 » by **TroyD92** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 12:31 am

Yikes that was a bad possession for the Wigs.

DanoMac · Post #99 » by **DanoMac** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 12:35 am

God Wiggins is incredible going to the rim. This kid's a no brainer for #1.

TroyD92 · Post #100 » by **TroyD92** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 12:35 am

Does Wiggins just not look confident to anyone else? Something about his body language..

Who ya got. Vote early, vote often.
