Game(s) THREAD - UK vs. MichSt @ 5:30mst ESPN and KU vs. Duke @ 7:30mst ESPN

I don't wanna say I told you so, because it's quite easy to say that you like a player that everybody knows is going to be really good, but I've been fairly vocal about the Parker > Wiggins thing for quite a while now.

Now obviously it's still way too early to say whether I'm right or not, but I'm really pleased as a Duke fan and as a Utah fan with how he plays. He literally would be the perfect fit for this team.

Not taking anything away hant.. but everybody knows Parker is better now.. but wiggins' upside is the debate

Don't understand the knocks on Parker's athleticism. A few times he has taken the ball, accelerated past the defense, going coast to coast, and scored. His elevation on his jumper? Looks awesome to me. At the very worst he's Danny granger or Kawai Leonard.

Let's hope that Bill Corbin plays Wiggins. He spent way too much time on the bench.

I'll answer this.

You trade Kanter and the GSW pick (maybe another pick) to Boston for Rondo.

Rondo, Hayward, Parker, Favors and Gobert is a team with the potential to have high killer instinct.

A lineup of Burke, Hayward, Parker, Kanter, and Favors looks solid. Excellent spacing potential

I guess we're comparing Parker vs Wiggins....

Who the hell knows?

Burke has yet to play a single NBA game

I want another lotto pick.

 

[PJKino]

He looks like he wants to dominate as well. Wiggins needs to find that, "Pass it to me so I can wreck this other team." mentality.

Thats true but the bigger issue is Wiggins is not a very polished ofneisve player right now..he doesnt have many moves in the halfcourt outside of a spin move

Hes still pretty raw on offense

The professional evaluators aren't concerned about his athleticism in general, but more first step and explosiveness/bounciness off the floor, specifically.
I've not ever been real worried about it. He's got enough size, length, athleticism, and skill to be very very special.
