I do too.
I said this earlier. Give me a solid PG, a solid 3-big man rotation... then fill the roster with 6'7/6'8 wings that can shoot and create.

I'd rather have a star at the 2 or 3 than a star at PG.
In this draft, James Young and LaQuinton Ross are very interesting (and they are tracking our picks .. Young around 10-12 and Ross around 16 - 20).
James Young - 6'7 - a lefty sweet shooting guard (2/3) that also averaged 15 rebounds and 5 asts last year... to go along with 27pts. 44% from 3.
Ross - 6'8 (7'1 wingspan) that shoots at 40% from 3.
I like these tall bouncy guys that can handle the ball and shoot it from outside... gimme like 5 of them.

Typically.
That 5-9 draft area is very tricky and I hope the Jazz can avoid it. They REALLY REALLY need that ONE guy who can draw double teams on every possession. Otherwise the Jazz ceiling will be way lower. Because I don't see them repeat that '04 Pistons once in 30 year random luck campaign without a superstar but many stars that have great chemistry.
Honestly, I think Parker is going to be the best player in this draft. Calling it.
Wiggins just seems over-hyped to me because of his extreme athletic ability. Reminds me of T-Mac more than anyone.
I like the size, power, and skill of Parker. Seems like a Melo clone with better intangibles.

I would be extremely surprised if Parker fell out of the Top 4. Duke performs so strong on a regular basis that I simply don't see it coming that he hurts his stock there. Coach K is a great person from what I've ever read about and good basketball teacher who'll put Parker into a position to highlight his strengths. Maybe even make his weaknesses appear like strengths.
I agree about Parker.. but I don't agree that Wiggins is too hyped.
