Jabari Parker will/should be drafted ahead of Andrew Wiggins.

[RightToCensor]

Parker has been majorly underrated by ISH. He is clearly the more NBA Ready of the two. Parker also has an offense that will translate into the NBA. Wiggins has had only one game this season where he was truly "The Man", and even though he performed amazingly, it really was only one game. Wiggins has trouble finishing at the NCAA Level, he'll struggle even worse at the NBA Level.

Wiggins only has athletism and defense over Parker, but that's like taking Gerald Green over James Harden.

[HylianNightmare]

Bet Wiggins goes before him

[Smook A.]

Wiggins has the bigger upside. His athleticism is comparable to LeBron's when he was a senior in high school back in 03. Jabari has potential to become a Carmelo Anthony/Paul Pierce type of player.

As of right now, Parker looks like the safer pick but if I were a GM I would pick Wiggins because of his potential. If Andrew Wiggins can develop a respectable jumper, he'll be pretty scary. In the end, I think both will be fantastic professionals

[Bobby13]

Wade > Harden. Deal with it

but gerald green and harden are both already developed players. At this point I agree that Parker looks more NBA ready but that doesn't mean I can predict what Wiggins and Parker will turn into at the NBA level in a couple of years.

What is this the fall of 2013? We stopped with the Wiggins-LeBron comparisons a long time ago pal, they're not accurate and not fair.

Personally I think Parker will be the better pro, the 'more athletic but less productive' line is pretty worn out.

Have you seen Harden play lately? He's on a tear. Been playing crazy good

2003 lebron and current wiggins have similar athleticism

[HurricaneKid]

I'll take Wiggins.

So you would pick on potential rather than NBA-readiness??


Is that you Dan Gilbert?

[RightToCensor]

Besides athleticsm, Lebron and Wiggins are completely different.

Wiggins is Gerald Green with the ability to get in the paint. But even with that, AW can't finish a layup in a half court setting if his life depended apon it.

[fpliii]

You're severely overrating NBA readiness/skillsets and underrating physical tools/potential IMO.

[YouGotServed]

I'm not sure who's better but I trust Morey will do the right decision.

Houston will sign whoever the Lakers draft when he becomes a FA. And whoever we draft in the Late 1st Round will become a good starter.

Grass is green.

[RightToCensor]

Embiid will fall in the draft as well. Maybe a little fall, but most likely will be #2.

[Solefade]

this draft class is overrated AF. Wiggins/Jabari/Embiid are not franchise-changing players like Lebron or KD.

This. Wiggins is similar to LeBron in athleticism. Otherwise nothing elite.

Wiggins shoots ~41% at the rim in college. That is possibly worse than Lillard is shooting in the NBA.

How long did it take for KD and Bron to make their first playoffs?

No, that's every front office in the NBA. I makes the game shitty but that's how it goes.

lol i have a feeling this is one of those threads that will be bumped in a couple years when parker is in the Dleague. not hating on parker but be ready OP

[CelticBaller]

idc as long as celtics pick one of them

[plowking]

All Wiggins has to do is tighten up the handle and develop a midrange game off the dribble.
He will be unstoppable in the NBA after that.

His first step and quickness are ridiculous to the point they have far smaller defenders guarding him in college at the moment to keep up.

All he has to do? I'm sure 90% of the NBA players can become elite if they can tighten handle + develop a midrange game.

doesn't matter, they won't have the same impact on their respective franchises as bron/kd

[2LeTTeRS]

doesn't matter, they won't have the same impact on their respective franchises as bron/kd

So that's the standard now? I predict that both will have bigger impacts and have higher ceilings than recent #1 picks like Kyrie Irving and John Wall, and comparable to Blake.

If that disappoints you than that's your fault.
