Prefer Wiggins, but with how Parker measured out and the NBA trending towards more small ball, i'm less concerned than i initially was about him being a clear tweener. So while he was my 4th choice among Embiid, Wiggins, Exum, and Parker, i'm warming up to not being annoyed if he ends up being the pick.
Big picture, year ago Kohl still owned the team. We came off a miserable offseason where Hammond/Kohl foolishly signed a bunch of overpaid vets, trying yet again to land an 8th seed. Things looked so bleak on a number of levels.
Fast forward to now. Kohl is gone and replaced by a pair of super rich investment bankers. I feel pretty confident an arena deal will eventually get done. Giannis looked so promising. The team was miserable instead of fighting for an 8th seed. We'll very likely get either of Wiggins/Parker. Maybe a trade ends up landing another first round pick, possibly one in the lottery. Even if that doesn't happen, we still have two high 2nd round picks in a deep draft.
So i won't fret to much if my first choice isn't the guy we end up with given both have plenty of upside. If they could just get rid of Drew, the remake of the Bucks from where the franchise stood a year ago would be so fabulous overall.
For the first time in ages, i have hope as a Bucks fans that things actually could be turning around significantly.
