Game(s) THREAD - UK vs. MichSt @ 5:30mst ESPN and KU vs. Duke @ 7:30mst ESPN

I think Parker is most needed for then jazz. I think he's going to be awesome. But I thought Randle looked like the best NBA player. Mostly because Bigs that can score inside like don't exist anymore. Parker has looked dominate though....

Wiggins looks like the best athlete but worst player out of the 3. Unpolished, not really assertive...

Parker - I think he would be a great fit for Utah. He is better than I thought and more athletic than he looks.
Wiggins - got in foul trouble but he has made a few nice plays. You can tell he is not as polished as Parker but you can also see how the NBA game will suit him even more.
Randle - was a monster in the second half. In the first half he played like a Freshman. I didn't really see his SF ability in this game. Needs to work on his FTs. 7 TOs was the only bad thing I could say about him. I do have a concern about him being predictable with that spin move. I think he needs to show his jumper more.

I would be happy with any one of these players but right now I am leaning towards Parker. I will be cheering hard for the Jazz to get a top 3 pick. I seriously would considering trading parts of the Core4 to get another pick in this draft. WCS, Emblin,Young, Selden, and even Andrew Harrison (even though he is raw) and Exum. I will also be cheering hard for GS to lose. I would go nuts if the Jazz got Wiggins and Parker..LMAO!!!1

He didn't really have the opportunity to do that in that game. Calipari basically stationed him deep in the paint. He hardly touched the ball in the 1st half as nobody was passing to him.

Who is this Perry Ellis from Kansas? He is dominating too.

He looks like a classic tweener so that means he may be available at the start of the second round, right? He would look really good as a reserve forward off the bench if he comes out.

Bull ****.

He was a top ranked player coming in but everybody knew he lacked the athleticism to be great in the NBA. He's an okay college player that will get ****ing killed in the pros.. and Self has done NOTHING to make him better... damn.

I don't wanna say I told you so, because it's quite easy to say that you like a player that everybody knows is going to be really good, but I've been fairly vocal about the Parker > Wiggins thing for quite a while now.

Now obviously it's still way too early to say whether I'm right or not, but I'm really pleased as a Duke fan and as a Utah fan with how he plays. He literally would be the perfect fit for this team.

Teams wouldn't draft Wiggins over Parker based on where they are today. Parker is the more developed player, quite significantly. Teams would pick Wiggins based on what he projects to be in 4 - 5 years. It's a bit like how Carmello was a complete offensive player and NCAA Championship MVP while Lebron was a raw kid from high school. But Lebron went 1st and Carmello 3rd.

Disagree.

Cleveland took lebron because he WAS better than Melo. Detroit took Darko over melo because they thought he had more potential than the more proven Melo.

Remember now, lebron went 1, Darko 2, melo 3
