Harrison twins kind of mailed it in at McDonald's the past two days from what I've seen. Definitely not their best showing. #mcdaa

Bad body language, bad shot-selection, overdribbling, not getting back on D, only passing to each other. Not how you make an impression. about an hour ago

I don't expect to have the 1st pick in 2014, but thats okay. As long as we're in the top 6-8 next year, I think we're okay. There is just so much talent (Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Gordon, Harrison twins, etc. etc.)

Yeah, wasn't a fan before, definitely not a fan now. They both have Shabazz's attitude. No thanks. And to the post above, the number 1 pick isn't important but a top 2 pick is. Its Wiggins/Parker and then everyone else.

Definitely too early to write off high school kids, They (mainly Andrew) do have a "rep" for being a bit cocky/arrogant, think Cam Newton (if we go from what draftexpress says).

I personally do not mind on court cockiness unless you don't or can't back it up. We will have next season to see what category they fall into. JJ was a WELL KNOWN major douche himself remember.

I agree about having swagger, I'm just not feeling their games when I take the attitude into consideration. In other words, I think they're too cocky for their talent levels. I don't see the athleticism from Andrew that I would like to see from a all-star PG. Now, if he can develop an elite jump shot, and I mean elite, then I'll reevaluate. Of course, we do have a full year of college ball to see where all the chips fall. This is just where I stand as of now with those two.

I've never seen twin backcourts, it's always bigger players.

It's crazy to think that we expect 17 year old kids who have been told how great they are since they were six to be humble.

this. wonder if there are anymore "class-act" superstars in today's prospects

Lookup Parker's interview. Seems like a humble guy. Wiggins doesn't come off as an a$$ either.

I hate to judge a book by its cover, but Jabari Parker would be my guess based on everything I've seen from him. And I'm not ready to discount the character of the guys coming in just yet.

I mean, there's bound to be some guys. But still it's not crazy to think that a seventeen year old basketball star is going to have a bit of an ego.

I don't know much about the Harrisons, but Shabazz seems like a special case.
