RockRaines Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Jabari is a superstar. What Duke freshman have you ever seen that was better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still rather have Wiggins at the next level but Jabari is a superstar in college and is going to be an absolute star in the NBA as well.

This. I think people are getting too wrapped up in Parker being from Chicago. Don't get me wrong. The kid is really good. But Wiggins easily has the most upside with very little downside. I might even take Exum and Randle before Parker. You can't teach elite athleticism. Edited November 28, 2013 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect them to be able to get Wiggins or Randle. I think Exum has the chance to be the biggest star from the draft. But I think it's possible they get the #4 pick and having Parker with whatever version of Rose exists writes itself for marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ok then that makes sense. I just can't help but laugh when I see Parker > Wiggins. And it's mostly bulls/illini fans. Somethin' tragic would have to happen for Wiggins not to blow up the nba.

Buehrle>Wood Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Before getting fat, Jabari was the best prospect since Lebron for a reason. Now that he's in shape again he's the obvious pick. At worst you're getting Paul Pierce. Edited November 28, 2013 by Buehrle>Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabari is no where near the athlete that Wiggins is and has to be much more ball dominant to make an impact. He'll be a great NBA player but Wiggins has a much greater upside.

So what's the best case? LeBron? Durant? Stop. At best he's a better hall of fame type. It's one of the greatest classes ever and Jabari is at the top of it right now. A class like this will provide at least one of those types if not multiple HoFers as they always do. It's not that ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exum (from what little I've seen) just sees the game incredibly smoothly and has the athleticism and shooting to compliment it. Parker still has great athleticism, but he also seems to have a chip on his shoulder and massive amount of skill for someone so young, making me think he'll never be content to rely on his athleticism and existing skill. Basically, you can't go wrong with any of the four and I think Jabari is most attainable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if Pierce is/was some kinda borderline all-star and not a first ballot hall of famer. I'd say that's A LOT more of a best case scenario. You have somehow found a way to make me dislike Parker now.
