I'd like him in any other draft. He's a pretty skilled guy, but he needs a better handle if he wants to play SF. But I think there's a chance he could be a Shawn Marion type. There's definitely better prospects though.

Parker's struggles this game are not on their guards.

Read my statement in a vacuum. They are brain dead. Their guard play is going to kill them in the tourney.

I've made that comment every game this year with them regardless of how Parker is playing. They are brutal.

Hood is abusing these Arizona guards.

Duke is way too small to win it all in the tournament. Makes u wonder if Parker might come back to play with next years recruits.

That was a sick play by Cook.

Gordon can't be a go-to scorer yet, but he does a little bit of everything. At least in terms of a college player, I like him a lot. Still not sure how I feel about him as an NBA player though.

Duke badly needs a white Duke PG.

They need a good Plumlee more.

Ford's making a point on Twitter now about Parker's relative struggles when guards by NBA athletes like Wiggins and Gordon.

That's my biggest worry with Parker - he just might not have the athleticism to be elite at the next level.

Said this in the game thread, but Antetokounmpo and Wiggins gives you two 6'8"+ players who can play both wing spots on both ends of the court.

Hard to pass that up.

Wiggins wagon for me too.

Clear charge by Wiggins. Huge break for Kansas. He should have been out of the game after 1 minute with 2 fouls.

Wiggins showing off that tight handle I was talking about.

It is a major concern, IMO.

I don't know fellas, I'm leaning Wiggins. BUT, I really really like Smart and Embiid too. This is just such a difficult draft to gauge considering the absolute high end talent 1-7 as I see it. I'm definitely not as sold on Parker now that I've seen him against some stiffer NBA-style defending.

On the other hand, I definitely like me some 'second tier' talent as well.

Give me Gary Harris; Selden; and Hollis-Jefferson please. Please. Please.

Paul George's was really high entering the league, too. It might not ever be point guard low, but given the quality of athlete Wiggins is, it isn't like he's locked into that high of a handle.

I love Embiid, too. Other than Giannis and our 2014 no. 1, there's nothing I wouldn't give for him.

Ditto Exum.

Who would you pick?
