Following potential 2014 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

I think Parker and Wiggins, both.. are better picks than anyone in the past drafts back to Durant.

 

[Dr. Jones]

OK, but they're all muscle.


I would be interested to know what Jabari's body fat % is.

You're trying too hard.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

You're subconsciously describing Jabari...

If Jabari can finish at the rim against NBA bigs, I'd say absolutely.

I do like him, I'm probably just nitpicking... if we do get him I predict we'll reach the WCF in '16.

Guys, when I look at it.. I'm not sure that I wouldn't take Jabari over Wiggins call me crazy.

You're crazy.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I knew that was coming.

At the end of the day, you need a guy who can get a shot and make it. Athleticism won't help if you can't shoot, or if your game is too one-dimensional.

It wasn't until Lebron could knock down jumpers that he started winning at the highest level. Even he could be kept off the rim with a double team.

Kobe's game is all about jumpers. His ability to drive is what buys him space to get them off. Jordan became the same later in his career.

That said, Wiggins maybe a guy that no one can compete with physically.

On the surface you're not crazy.... Parker may be the most NBA ready player to come out.... ever. (literally)

Under closer inspection, though, Wiggins has an upside that is way too intriguing.. MJ'esque.

Yep, if Kobe didn't have that jumper and maybe even killer shot fake he would have been done a long time ago.

Wiggins may be able to just make one fake, take one dribble and dunk the ball before anyone knows what's going on.

Wiggins is the better player.

Jabari is the better story.

One thing I like about Parker is he'll have an added motivation to win in Utah... he'll think "God has put me here for a reason".

Gordon?

 

[Fakers Luck]

GSW and Jazz will be terrible. Lottery picks 1 and 2, so we don't have to choose between them. Checkmate.

 

[slc]

So if Jazz get the #1 and #2 who should they take?
Wiggins and Parker?

 

[Bawse Dawg]

I think the athleticism argument is more just searching for flaws. He has been such a hyped player for so long that people got bored and started looking for weaknesses. But did you guys see him in the dunk contest? It's not like he's a stiff. He's not Wiggins, but I wouldn't say his athleticism is bad enough for it to count as a 'glaring' weakness. Just my 2 cents. I'm not a crazy draft analysis guy or anything.

Whose #3 in this scenario? If we could trade the #1 for #3 and a really nice asset I would take Jabari and Randle.

Randle is consensus #3.
