Draft Parker, blow your free agency dollar to sign Hayward. Trade Ilyasova just to free up the court time and give the front court over to Henson, Parker and Sanders. Give some contending team a 2nd in 2017 to take Mayo off our hands.

Start Wolters, Giannis, Hayward, Parker, and Sanders.

Henson, Knight, and Middleton as your main bench.

You're welcome.

Looks like we are going for the first pick again

Draft Parker, keep him at the SF position. Pry away Greg Monroe this summer in free agency to play the PF position. I personally feel Giannis can thrive in the SG position. Sanders/Henson hold down C position.

He's led his team to the Western Conference Finals. I guess you consider Tracy Mcgrady a "predominant loser" also.

McGrady was a bad defender too. Not to mention their second best player was hurt every year. The year they did make the finals he was on a team stacked with Larry Sanders level defenders. Yao, Mutumbo, Hayes, and Wells were all under 100.

What, McGrady was a very good defender before his back injuries caught up to him. You don't know what you are talking about, did you actually watch him play or are you just going off what basketbalreference.com says?

Let's see now.

Sanders drafted as PF
Giannis drafted as SF
Parker drafted as SF
Monroe traded for to get PF
Wolters 2nd Rnd PG

Next year we can pick a SF and move Giannis to PG and Parker to SG as some have suggested.

Are you John Hammonds?
8th seed or bust.

No doubt that Parker will average more rebounds and be a better rebounder. Because he's a power forward.

But Wiggins at the two guard could be an elite rebounder and that's a comparative advantage he's got versus other two guards and likely even many small forwards.

Wiggins at SG and Giannis at SF keeps them in a position they work well in. Trying to fit Parker or Giannis into a SG or PF doesn't play to their strengths.

The other bonus is that with Wiggins height, length and leaping ability, he's going to be putting up double digit rebound games quite a bit IMO.

If Parker even had the lateral quickness of Shane Battier, there is no doubt that he would be #1 on more board. To me he is Corliss Williamson with more upside and 3 pt shot

my thought process is that if you want Giannis to be a SG(isn't that the position where you actually have to have a good shooter) if that's the case giannis has along way to go before he can or should play the SG position.Thats the 1 position where you should have a guy who can score consistantly

I'm going to go on record and say that Parker won't be a power forward. At least not for the duration of his rookie contract.

If it isn't Wiggins or Embiid I will be shocked and pretty upset.

I know this is off topic but can some1 in the know please explain the situation with the Memphis head coach,i don't get it,He was so sought after by Memphis during last offseason and his team did good this past year.Why is Memphis just letting him go after 1 year.

If we don't get one of these two I am probably done with the Bucks.

Calling out Wiggins for scoring 41 in a real basketball game against "inferior" competition all while showing off freakish athleticism and elite defense. Gushing over Jabari Parker practice video.

As a previous poster alluded to earlier, REALLY can't wait wait for one of these Slam magazine draft workout Wiggins videos to surface.

What position would you expect Wiggins to play then? His shot is awful. Wiggins and Giannis are basically the same player.

The whole point of getting the worst record was to make sure the lotto couldn't screw us and we would get one of the top four talents. And before the lotto I was comfortable with all four.

Now that the lotto is over and we know where we are I am in the same boat. If we don't come away with Embiid or Wiggins I will be very upset.

Parker is the safest pick. To me he will start for his career. We are the bucks and for us to contend we need stars. The only way we are getting them is through the draft. Embiid and Wiggins are in my mind have the best chance of being a star.

The video proves hes not overweight and reminds everyone why he'll be a force offensively.

Can't wait to read some of the critiques.

I'm in the camp that Embiid, Wiggins, and Parker all will be the real deal at the next level. I'm happy with any of them. Sometimes I think we get too caught up in the elite athleticism that some guys possess and it distracts us away from what ultimately matters which is scoring more points than the other team. Parker just seems like more of a basketball player than Wiggins if that makes sense. Like he was born to ball while Wiggins was born to be an athlete. Like I said tho, I think they'll all turn out so I'm happy with any.
