Wiggins first impressive game at the college level in my opinion. Parker has had about 10 impressive games. I'm still Parker, embiid, wiggins.

Wiggins not being able to dribble is my biggest fear.

I don't know that you are going to find many 7 footers with the shooting touch and athleticism of Embiid.

You can probably find more 6'8 guys with the shooting and athleticism of Parker and Wiggins.

Considering Wiggins (by the numbers) is one of the most athletic players we have ever seen, that's not really true lol.

Wiggins and Randle both have big up arrows after today.

I'm less juiced about Parker today. His arrow pointing down at the moment.

Embiid with an outside shot. Yeah, he's going number one.

So embiid scores 11 ppints n grabs 9 boards not being a negative nanny but why put him #1 over the likes of wiggins n parker

He did that in 19 minutes and only 7 shot attempts. He's also 7 feet. Size matters in the nba. With that said I have embiid at 2 right now.

Embiid's entire season has been affected by foul trouble. He's still learning, and as a rim protector, it's hard in this year's NCAA to stay out of foul trouble.

At this moment:
1) Embiid
gap
2) Wiggins
3) Parker

To what numbers are you referring?

Don't forget the 2 blocks which should have been 3 blocks if not for a bad call by the ref. Not to mention that he is constantly doubled team. He is the one being doubled team on a Kansas team that has Selden , Wiggins, and Ellis. That is some serious respect.

Drafting Embiid scares me.

I really wanna like Embiid but I don't see any wow factor. I like his face up jumper but that release won't fly in the league.

Wiggins today showed why he deserves to be #1. His confidence is still growing but when he gets into the right mindset he's capable of doing things no one else in this draft can do. Jumper looked pretty today as well. Parker is still in the 4-5 range for me as he has been all year.

Exum obviously remains the biggest wild card.

I just think its too risky. All I can think of is Oden or Thabeet. Or even Bogut. That might be unfair but I think we got to go with Wiggins,Parker, or even Exum.

Marcus Smart with 15 and 11. Except the 11 isn't assists, its rebounds.

Still see Smart as a SG.

I wanted Smart initially but isn't he pretty much Brandon Knight?

Smart does alot of things, but he is a streaky shooter and doesn't distribute the ball alot. He does bring the ball up quite a bit and has an average handle.

I think he has better court vision than Knight, but that isn't saying much.

He does seem to have that "intangibles" thing that everyone talks about.

Just seems like it from what I've seen. Probably better court vision but is he a real PG?
