Just curious where people stand as of today, April 21, 2014. Should the Jazz Draft Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins if they had the choice?
 
I would be ecstatic with either one, but I think Jabari is more "NBA-ready". I know people are concerned about Jabari's defense, but all rookies suck on defense.
 
Wiggins.

Here is reality:

We get our guy for 7 years. At the end of 7 years, no matter who we draft, if we are competing for titles, we will keep him. If we aren't, they will leave.

Take the best player available.
 
I'd take Parker, I like how humble he is and he will work really hard. Wiggins seems to take games off/plays off.
 
Been saying this even back when it seemed most here thought Parker was the obvious choice.

He has a higher chance of busting which is why I like Parker better, Wiggins takes off way too many plays/games.

He also relies on his athleticism too much, which will hurt him in the NBA.
 
ESPN asked 30 league executives, one from each team, on who they would take if they had the 1st pick in the draft.

Jabari Parker: 17 votes
Joel Embiid: 8 votes
Andrew Wiggins: 5 votes

Simple as that folks.
 
If Parker works so hard, why is he such a fat *** as a 19 year old?

Cause he's a kid and he's Polynesian. He still has some baby fat to lose but getting in better shape is much easier when you are making millions, have a personal chef and don't have to go to college half the day.
 
Kevin Pelton on A. Wiggins:

"As discussed when Chad Ford and I debated Wiggins' NBA potential, his relatively pedestrian advanced statistics don't match his reputation. Wiggins' translated college statistics don't put him in the top 25 percent of NBA-bound wings in any of the nine core skills I evaluate for strengths and weaknesses. At this point, individual defense -- which doesn't show up in the box score -- is probably Wiggins' best skill. That's valuable, but not the stuff of superstardom."
