Does Jabari Parker have a chance at slipping past the 4th overall pick?

[Jazz4ever]

I don't see it happening, but will play along.

1. CLE - Embiid. They need to go big and while any of these guys are more talented than what they have, I think they'll take size over athleticism.

2. MIL - Wiggins. Giannis can slide over to SG and you could even stick Wiggins there. Either way, size mismatches at the 2 and 3 and they'll take the gamble on talent since they're not going to be winning anytime soon.

3. PHI - Exum. A gasp goes up from the crowd as Philly decides that a backcourt of Exum/MCW creates mismatches that will haunt defenses for years. Jazz might try and leap up but the cost of #23 and GS future #1 too much.

4. ORL - Smart. They have Oladipo, but were in love with Smart last year and are determined to have him run the point. Again, interchangeable positions, put the best players on the floor being the mantra.

5. UTA - Parker. LDS conversions accelerate 700%, Book of Mormons get studded with diamonds.

What worries me with Orlando is they have the #12 pick. So could move up to the #7 and get Smart also. The Jazz have to show at least fake interest in Smart to get Orlando to panic a little.

Start making up unfunny, unimaginative jokes, that might miraculously improve Parker's shooting. Hell, it's worth a shot anyway.

If the 76ers don't want Parker at 3 and he's not taken at 1 or 2 there's no doubt in my mind the 76ers will want to make a trade with the Jazz.

I'm pretty sure kabenac was saying that parker would be taken at 3...

So the question is... What are the odds that Exum isn't picked at the 4? Is that a lock any more or less than the first 3 players?

I don't see any way that Parker falls out of the top 3.

You are correct.

In the event Parker is available at 3 and the 76ers want someone other than Exum they would be foolish not to trade with us - it would be like receiving free draft picks (our second 1st round pick at the very least).

Yamers just likes to argue with people - and sometimes he gets so excited he forgets to actually read and comprehend their post.

If the sixers want another player Exum is the only possible guy. No way do the Sixers even consider passing for who is available at 5. If we made a trade with them it would be because they were interested in one of our players(they would probably love to have Kanter) not because they are salivating the idea of moving down for Vonleh.

P.S. Kanter>Vonleh

And 28% 3pt. For a guy who is supposed to be a shooter and is a top 3 pick based almost solely on his ability to shoot and score the ball, yes, 44 and 28 is bad.

First off, for those who have actually followed him, Jabari Parker was never known as a shooter. He was known as a smooth, and skilled scorer. In fact, when he started off hot from 3 at the beginning of the season, almost everybody was surprised, and expected a regression.

Second, while it fits your agenda, we cannot just ignore hot and cold streaks. They happen. However, large samples mean more than small samples, which is why 35 games is better than 28.

Third, your continued usage of just FG% and 3PT% show your lack of understanding in regards to basketball. A much better analysis tool would be TS% (true shot percentage), or even eFG% (effective field goal percentage). Parker had a 54.2% in regards to TS%, and 48.7% in regards to eFG% during in-conference play. For the entirety of the season, he was at 55.8% and 51.1%, respectively. Those numbers sure do suck.

A pretty real responsibility to me is the fact that maybe Philly at 3 will say meh to Jabari, talk to Dennis Lindsey, and say "look, I'll give you Jabari at 3 if you draft Vonleh for us, and give us a 23rd/whatever".

So maybe he won't 'fall' per-se, but will a team be ecstatic for him at 3? Any chance that Jabari falls to the Jazz? I'd peg the probability at zero for Embiid and Wiggins, and pretty low for Exum given the amount of scouting/team fit for Orlando.

dala lve your thinking but Philly will want one of our firsts in 2017 to do the switch.
