Imagine a backcourt of Exum and Smart.

Agree to disagree then. You are selling the Kansas players short and making cases for very bad NBA players like they could just roll any college team no matter who is on the team. MCW has looked pretty bad in the NBA so far and I wouldn't say he was one of the best college players last year. I wouldn't even put him in my top 20 best players in the country when Kansas has arguably 3-4 players that could be in the top 50. I just feel the Sixers are a weaker team and would get beat 1 out of 3 times at the very least.

Where you at bro? Kansas gonna beat the heat too?

Randle looks like a potentially excellent defender. Huge wingspan, great feat, very active.

Jabari Parker

This is a must tank season.

The best comparison I came up with for Parker in the past was a 6-8 Paul Pierce type. He's a very smart player who can do almost everything on the court.

. I'm not seeing the pp comparison. Watching his jumper and how smooth he looked he really reminded me of tmac.

My knee jerk big board

1.Randle
2.Parker
3.Exum
4.Wiggins (WTF was with that attitude?)

It gets complicated when you consider upside, because Wiggins has a T-Mac type ceiling.

So I just realized that Kentucky has 4 of the top 25 recruits in the country. Given that Calipari is the coach I'm thinking this is legit.

Agreed. For all the on the court mannerisms, he still had 16 on 5-9 shooting with 3 steals.

Parker looked very good in the opener. He looks like he's got even more bounce than he did pre injury. If that continues to be the case, he could end up top 3. With that being said, I think Randle is a lock for number 1 come next June.

Randle is unreal. I'm convinced he isn't human

There seems to be a lot of teams that will will be average this year. Not too many teams doing a full on tank. I thought Philly and Phx would be bad but I think otherwise now. Tanking is obviously the thing to do this year. The shot of picking in the top 5 and getting a future all star is not difficult if a team honestly tries this route. I wish the Bucks would.

AussieBuck · Post #197 » by **AussieBuck** » Mon Nov 11, 2013 7:36 am

The young guys on the tanking teams are getting it done at team paces higher than the league leading Nuggets played at last season. Phoenix and Philly will come back with a thud once things slow down into the season.

I WANT JABARI PARKER! There's so many freak athletes in this draft, but it takes more than that to be good in the NBA. You need to have the "IT" factor to be a superstar and I think Parker has it.

I'm in the same boat. He's an amazing prospect. His talent level is ridiculous for such a young player.

I feel a little bad for Wiggins because the hype train was out of control for him. He's not going to have the type of dominant freshman season people expected. He's a phenomenal athlete, but there is a lot he needs to work on.

VooDoo7 · Post #200 » by **VooDoo7** » Tue Nov 12, 2013 3:14 am

FYI- Randle, Parker and Wiggins all on ESPN tomorrow night. Parker and Wiggins going head to head.

Who would you pick?
