Following potential 2014 draftees

Agreed. In 5 years I believe that Wiggins will be the consensus best player from this loaded draft. I'd rather have that.

The only one with a comparable ceiling is Embiid.

Me too! Let's play on the same team and start dominating those kids.

This may or may not be a legit concern but his back concerns me a lot.

That's why it's Wiggins then Parker then Embiid for me.

EDIT: Dang auto correct.

 

[[size/HUGE] fixed [/size]]

Gordon's perimeter defense is insanely good for his size. I think he could end up being a lock-down defender positions 1-4.

and he'll be sitting on the bench during crunch time unless he fixes a lot of things.

I have at one time or another had Embiid, Parker or Wiggins as the number 1. Unfortunately, none of them has been consistent enough to say "this is my guy."
I just hope all three are coming out this year and the Jazz get one of them. I am not as high on Randle and don't know enough about Exum. Gordon has peaked my interest of late if the Jazz are not in the top 3.

Right now:
1) Wiggins
2) Parker
3) Embiid - I might take Embiid over Parker if the Jazz can find a FA/trade to get an upgrade wing.
4) Randle
5) Exum - I would probably move him up once I see him play more.
6) Gordon
7)Smart

I think you me and peeks are the only ones who have never dropped Wiggins from #1 on our big boards.

I don't throw out any big boards so I don't qualify, but it hasn't been a question at all for me this year.

I take Wiggins.
Jazz have plenty of skill players.
Jazz have never had a elite athlete in his prime.
Wiggins may never become best player but he will be best athlete in NBA.

Never?

Stockton and Malone weren't elite athletes? Especially malone? If Malone were drafted today he would be a mix of Griffin, Amare, and Dwight Howard. Malone was a freak.

lol waht?

barefoot? yes, i can see him being tad under 6ft 8. kevin love was 6ft 7 3/4. our own Favors was 6ft 8 3/4. i don't see Randle being as tall as favors. that 1 inch actually matters to many GMs. you certainly don't want to get that 'undersized' tag. IMO, randle is classic PF sized, but you still want him to be bigger. just a wishful thinking.

And this is concerning?

Probably is in the world of Fatbrey where being a quarter inch smaller than the opponent means you are overmatched

You can't go wrong with either.

Parker isn't going to be a bust. It just depends on how much (higher) a ceiling you think wiggins has. Honestly, it is the difference between Paul George and a young Paul Pierce.

One will immediately be a terror on defense and on the break. One will immediately be a player you can run your offense through.
One requires time and polishing to become a complete player. While the other requires more of a slower paced (playoff) system and perhaps a rim protector.

Wiggins stat line was incredible today. And his ceiling is through the roof. But let's not forget that Jabari can score from anywhere and still has yet to scratch the surface of his post game. A solid post game will control the tempo and stay with him even once his athleticism begins to fail.

I honestly think either is a win win. I might lean more towards wiggins doe

Disregard
