The major takeaway from that video is that his workout video is coming soon. And he doesn't look like he's added weight, which I thought was a bull story from the beginning. Still my #4 guy, but again, I think he'll fit in really well with Giannis and Larry.

Seems like the weight comments by a few posters here were quite a bit overblown. Looks explosive.

Eh, literally like every NBA player except Steve Nash can do that in workouts lol. I've seen Tyler Ennis do that same dunk in person, and he's absolutely a below the rim player. Jabari's an average athlete in terms of vertical, speed, and quickness. It still might work though because of how coordinated he is at using the athleticism that he does have. For example, Wes Johnson was an elite athlete, but he wasn't really coordinated enough to use it. Jabari is extremely coordinated, so even though he's just an average athlete, he can do more with it.

@stevekylerNBA: .@melancer46: ---> we asked about a dozen or so NBA guys which player in the draft they'd want to play with, and almost all said Parker.

That shouldn't apply to our situation whatsoever. Only Giannis, Wolters, Middleton, and maybe Henson and Sanders are here to stay long term, and I doubt they were the ones being asked that.

Take Wiggins at 2 and run. Really think this kid's gonna be something special.

I would take whoever is left between Wiggins and Embiid....but would not be upset if they took Parker. All three will be stars IMHO.

I don't think there's any way he's not at least a good 6th man.

Wow, within a span of 24 hours, I went from being ecstatic about the 2 spot, to being depressed about missing out on Embiid.

Joy turning to ashes in my mouth.

Why is nobody talking about Damien Inglis? He's only 19 and he's listed at 6'8.5" and 240 pounds? 7'3" wingspan and 8'11.5" standing reach. His shooting needs work but DX has him shooting 72% from the line. His shot doesn't look broken at all, and is supposed to be a good defender. Am I missing something because I see a top 15ish talent?

Edit: Obviously in a trade back into the first round or at 31

I feel the same way. They all have potential, it's up to the Bucks to predict which one meets ALL of their potential. They may all be allstars, but only one will be a true superstar. Personally, I believe it will be one of the two from Kansas.

Yeah, I was hoping that if we were going to get leapfrogged it was going to be by a team that was more interested in Andrew Wiggins.

We have the #2 pick in one of the deepest drafts in recent memory. These kids have so much growing up to do, basketball to play, workouts to complete, injuries to get thru, that they're hardly even close to their finished product.

It would be nice if we could possess a crystal ball and see what the future holds, but let's not act like it's Embiid and a bunch of scrubs. We're going to have a chance at getting a very, very good player.

I honestly don't know which one I like more. Embiid could be a monster....he looks to have it all. Wiggins...6-8 kid who can move like a Gazelle and will only get better. Parker...also 6-8 but a thick 6-8...can score...flat out score. Both Wiggins and Parker have big wingspans...over 7 feet.

If you take Embiid...he's a #4/5...Parker...Likely a #4 and Wiggins and #3. All fit....making Ersan tradebait IMHO.

Would Houston take him for their 1st rounder? I really want another PG.

Oden was as dominant of player I can remember and he played one handed most of that year.

If you want to pigeon hole positions Wiggins is clearly a 2.

Reading those scouting reports and this video comes up, and just makes me daydream about Wiggins and Giannis running the break.

Two dribbles from 3/4 court and he's at the basket. That's some scary **** when you have two of those guys on the court at the same time.

He also was a super high character kid that everyone raved about vouched for. His later bout with alcoholism was largely attributed to the pressure of failing to live up to his draft status in the midst of chronic injuries. It wasn't like he was a party guy his whole life.

If it wasn't for a crazy and almost instant physical deterioration, Oden was on track to be a first team All NBA guy for many, many years.

Wow...he would be a long #2...Nice! He is big enough to play #3 though.
