And tony allen..... member in the draft that had burks, people were saying how chris singletons defense was so good he could be a lottery pick.

I take a superb offensive player over a superb defensive player every time

So you would take Carlos Boozer over Mutumbo?

Dont think any rule like that should be applied to a drafting strategy. Its a case by case bases.
 
I don't see Embiid being the next Hakeem. He's one of the best centers in the history of the game. Don't forget his passing and stealing ability. Embiid will be really really good, but I think he's a project. He won't impact the Jazz right away as most big men need time to develop. I still wanna see how both Parker and Wiggins play in the tourney before I decide who should be #1 in the draft.

Ya I probably take a prime healthy boozer
 
Most are over-simplifying this.

It largely depends on who's anchoring the post. If you've got shot blockers that lack offensive game then you NEED wings that can score more than defend.
It just depends on the overall makeup of the team.
 
I think people are gonna be surprised at Parkers defense as he matures. He has shown some nice shot blocking ability already. Looks like he is going to be pretty strong too.

Parker sucks. He doesn't play good defense.

When I think of the top wings in the league I don't think about their offense I always think of their defense. Bruce Bowen is the best SG in the history of the league.

and that's our team with Favors and Gobert. We need Parker. Parker is a great player, and would impact us immediately, which is when we need it (while our team is still affordable). If we draft a star and have a winning culture and are in talks of contending within 2-3 years, it will be a lot easier to hold on to them--and actually make something of it.
