Official #2 Pick Thread - Ford #7: Parker

EastSideBucksFan · Post #2741 » by **EastSideBucksFan** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 6:17 pm

I read the post that PP put up and there wasn't anything there that stood out that doesn't get fixed or developed with good coaching and game experience.

Wiggins can flat out do things that other guys can't do and I think he's a guy that will be "unleashed" going into the NBA. Give him a good offensive system with motion, fast breaks, ball movement and him and Giannis on the wings are going to flat out scare the crap out of opposing teams when they are barrelling down the court on the fast break.

I think Jabari is going to have a long, solid career in the mode of Antawn Jamison. Guy will be able to flat out score, probably be an all-star a couple times, but I think Wiggins has a higher ceiling and more of a chance of being an dominant wing for a very long time than Jabari does at dominating the power forward position in the NBA.

Here's Jay Bilas interview with Wiggins in October.

When we had the #1 pick and it was Bogut vs Marvin debate I BADLY wanted Bogut and it wasn't close.

This year with the #2 pick as of right now I don't have any preference over Wiggins/Embiid/Parker. I'm totally fine with any of them as of now.

What I really want is to find a way to get another top 10 pick. What I would LOVE is to find a way to get one of Wiggins/Embiid/Parker and add in Exum. Wet dream I know.

YOU DRAFT BPA WHEN YOUR YEARS AWAY FROM DOING ANYTHING

I hope this wasn't directed at my post. If it was, please actually read the post before responding again.

Just in general....Getting sick of people saying we should draft X because he fits best with this current team

I think you naked it right in the head. Any of the three will be great "gets" but the KEY is getting an additional lottery pick to pair them with. This is, and only I'd the main thing we need to be discussing.

I love it when I naked it right in the head.

There's no chance Exum falls past Orlando at #4. Trading back into the lottery for a pick is doable, trading back in for the #4 pick is impossible, short of trading Giannis.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I do not think I have seen it posted before. This is a Scouting Video of Parker vs Aaron Gordon from when their team's played this year. Yes it is only 1 game but think it is worthwhile to examine 2 Top 10 Prospects of basically the same Age and Position playing against each other:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfVitXBMWY0

Here is what I see regarding Parker from what is shown:

-Does generate some FT's (debatable if both shown calls are fouls but he got the calls)
-Gordon forced an Airball and numerous challenging shots
-Parker was unable to stop Gordon at the Rim and was unable to finish over Gordon when he had the chance
-Multiple times his teammates have their hands in the Air waiting for a Pass from Jabari that never comes

If we come away with anyone other than Parker I'm going to be extremely disappointed.

Wonka · Post #2751 » by **Wonka** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 7:57 pm

The past 75 pages of this thread have become an identical blur. The draft needs to get here ASAP.

MrPerfect1 · Post #2752 » by **MrPerfect1** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 7:57 pm

I couldn't feel more opposite. Anyone but Parker at #2 will be great (Embiid, Wiggins, or Exum). I could even be talked into Gordon over Parker

He's #1 on my board. I'm with you. I think Sanders/Henson mitigate the loss of a prospect like Embiid who is more of a gamble than Parker. Parker going #1 is the only way I see Wiggins or Exum making it to Milwaukee. Barring medical though, I think the pick would be Embiid after Parker.

I just want a new player. Give me someone. Anyone.

breakchains · Post #2755 » by **breakchains** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 8:16 pm

I'm still clinging to the sliver of hope that Embiid will be there at 2. I know I'm just setting myself up for disappointment by doing that, but at least Parker is a very good consolation prize for me.

LUKE23 · Post #2756 » by **LUKE23** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 8:32 pm

Gordon ovèr Parker is ludicrous.

MrPerfect1 · Post #2757 » by **MrPerfect1** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 8:39 pm

Even if he does not improve his jump shot much, Gordon could be the Noah version of SFs/PFs. I'd take Prime Noah over Prime Melo in a heartbeat

Prime Noah at SF/PF doesn't have nearly the impact of prime Noah at center.

Dude, I'm not trying to badger on you, or pick on you or anything, but you post this, or something almost exactly like it, like 5-10 times in each thread. We get it, man.

Just put me on ignore. Everyone has basically posted the same sh*t for the last month. I'm not going to stop posting my take because it bothers you or whoever else. If it bothers you that much, there is an ignore function which will hide my posts. Use it.

Assuming Embiid goes #1, who is your guy at #2?
