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

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 agree he's bad for the pros. I'm just saying he'll put up high point and rebound totals this year. But he's way better than the beginning of last year. I'm just saying Self has had players that have done similar things. Robinson didn't play much freshman year, put up huge numbers next year, sucks for the NBA. Wayne Simien was similar. Ellis is of that mold. Nick Collison also. He takes advantage by recruiting players that do not project well to the next level so they stay around for more than a year. That's all I'm sayin
And Smart will take Big 12 POY cuz he'll have points, rebounds, and assists. Ellis will have just points and rebounds

Lebron wasn't a shooter or fully developed physically when he came into the league. Melo was the NCAA player of the year. But Lebron was hailed as the chosen one. Yes, I remember Detroit took Darko and Melo went 3rd.
