Fwiw, I heard from the Cavs version of BP that the team is leaning wiggins. They were disappointed with Parker's workout and there is some concern he tanked it because he wants to be in Milwaukee. Not sure the validity of that. And apparently wiggins killed it.

Anthony Bennett must be so happy Cleveland have another #1 pick.

Haha you got that right. Never even thought about that. I feel a decent season coming along for him now that the spotlight will be on this year's guy.

Kind of reminds me of the 3rd grade soccer team I coached. It was based on who the parents wanted the kids to play for. Didn't know the NBA worked that way. So we should expect Chubby Parker and Brother Thanasis and GR3 so we have a forward for everyone. Can't blame the Cavs, I think there are 29 teams that would pick Wiggins #1.

I had a feeling that Parker would try to get himself to Milwaukee. He could slide right in here at starting PF (not have to compete with Thompson/Bennett, etc) and be close to his Dad with his health problems. Hard to believe a kid would tank a workout, but if he indeed tanked, then he's truly got the Bucks culture down already.
We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees.

Going by the response CDR had originally, Parker could become a cult hero if he's actually trying to play for the Bucks.

I'm somewhat amazed at the fan and media narrative that came down over the last 36-48 hours.

Basically Jabari went from being definitely the Bucks pick, maybe the Cav's pick, and #1 in a decent minority of mock drafts to a fat Pacific Islander who is going to eat his way out of the league in five years, after he posts a usage rate of 59%. Meanwhile, Wiggins went to LeBron/Kobe status.

Wonder how much of that is smoke from Gilbert to see what Philly will offer him to trade up to #1 overall.

To be fair Cleveland has a river too, but their's starts on fire making it far less convenient.
