It's gotta mean something!!!

I'll say it again that athleticism is the big boobs of basketball. Athleticism is pretty crucial up to a point, but you start to get diminishing return when it's not coupled with mental prowess (not just talking IQ). Not saying how this applies specifically, per se, but GMs like them big boobs. I think Parker will be the better player.

Every year there is only a handful maybe less of college players with both elite athleticism and elite skills.
They get drafted first.
After that players have one or the other.
So teams have to decide what is mort important when they pick a player.
Right now Jazz seem to have players with skills but no athleticism.
Jazz seem to need an elite athlete.

Lebron and Carmello are both All-Stars. Who cares which one they get?

Defense and athleticism put Wiggins ahead of Parker as a prospect. It's better to have someone who can get easy shots than someone who can make difficult, contested shots. People have to respect Wiggins' athleticism and back off him enough that he can rise up and get a clean shot anytime he wants. My concern with Wiggins right now is that his handle is too lose. If he can improve his dribble, then he can bring his athleticism more into play and become close to unguardable.

You forgot to mention that Wiggins has a much higher ceiling too.

I prefer wiggins as well but i wont cry if we get parker

I want Wiggins, but will see getting Parker or Exum as a big step forward too. I don't know much about how serious Embiid's back condition is, but it sounds like it might be chronic.

My board looks like this:

Wiggins
Parker
Exum
Embiid
Give up

I'd take either Parker or Wiggins and not think twice about it. Landing either one of them and the Jazz hit the jackpot. They both have skills and abilities that the Jazz need.
