I have seen enough to make a couple predictions.

Embiid will go #1

If the jazz get the #1 pick they take him and with him will eventually win a championship. He is that good!
 
Parker is and has been my choice. Fills an actual need on the team too. embid is just an upgrade, but w/ Kanter, Favors, and Gobert: we aren't hurting at the center position, and Parker is still BPA IMHO.
 
Better chance for us to get Parker because we are not getting the #1 pick with Milwaukee doing the tank better than us and the Lakers in for the fix to get a top draft choice to pair with Kobe, for Kobe's last stand.
 
Embiid could go anywhere in the top-4, but no lower. My turban tells me that he won't go first.

I would be perfectly happy anywhere in the lottery this year. As long as the Jazz DON'T draft Julius Randle.

That's bold. Anyone in the lottery except Randle??

For me it is:
1. Parker
2A. Wiggins
2B. Embiid

I would also be happy with Exum or Randle. The more players that challenge for the top three when you have Parker and Wiggins in the draft is that much better for Utah. Increases their chances of landing that franchise player.

Edit: When and why did Randle start falling out of favor on here?
 
Parker and Wiggins fits the need. Embiid and Randle makes Kanter expendable. If we pick lower than anybody but Exum please. That dude has bust written all over him for me.

That all depends on how they develop. If one is clearly a starter and one is liek Millsap (right there for several years) it could really solidify our big man rotation.

Embiid/Gobert
Favors/Kanter
 
Hopefully he does go #1. That means that Wiggins and Parker have fallen to (hopefully) us.

If we miss out on the next Dream then shucks. At least we have favors. If we miss out on the next Durant or Paul Pierce while we have nothing at the 3 (assuming Hayward asks to much and signs elsewhere), it's gonna hurt badly.

I really like Parker but his comparisons are Carmelo and Big Dog from Milwakee. Both of those players are all offense no defense. I worry that Parker won't be able to defend at an average level in the NBA and think he will slide because of that on draft night. If we draft him that is fine but for me only if Embiid, Wiggins and Exum are off the board.

Lets say you are right and Jazz take Embiid. I just can't imagine Jazz having Kanter come of the bench past his rookie season or paying him big money to do that.
