Following potential 2014 draftees

[Zulu]

Since we having some fun, I will throw out a hypothetical.

Jazz get #1.

Lakers get #3.

The team at #2 takes Embiid or Randle.

Jazz draft Wiggins, once the team at #2 doesn't pick Parker, the Lakers call up and offer:

Parker and three future 1st-round picks for Wiggins.

We have to say yes to that right?

No Zulu gonna only take Parker and another Teen pick in this class for wiggins!!

 

[orangello]

Agreed. This is my biggest concern about Jabari. I outlined this extensively 3 days ago.


It is his Samoan Genes I'm most concerned about....

I'd be worried even if he weren't a poly, but since he is half poly (actually, Tongan, IIRC), I agree the concern doubles. There is a reason polys are great athletes as little kids, still pretty dominant in HS football (by HS they are already generally too fat to play basketball), start to thin out in college and you see very, very, few - other than the fat positions like D-line and O-line - in the pros. When they get old, they get fat. Period.

Doesn't mean Jabari has no hope, but I, for one, don't want him. Not to mention, I'm just not that impressed with his game.

No, I wouldn't do that. I'm convinced, like the Lakers are, that Wiggins is the next big NBA superstar.

No way they would do that. Unpossible.
They may, however, do Kanter and 23 for their 10. Now maybe we could do some damage.

I wouldn't do it for 10.

There's an idea. Kanter and 23 for 10. Take Randle with the early pick to replace Kanter's scoring and rebounding and grab McDermott at 10 for shooting.

Yeah sorry, supposed to say Tongan... but yeah I tend to agree... I wished there was a way to determine how out of shape Jabari would be in about 10 years' time.
