#PrayinPartyforJabari

Pray Golden State loses key players and they plummet, trade Hayward, Favors and Burke draft night to acquire two high draft picks...
Smart
Exum
Parker
Randle
Kanter

Boom

Good God almighty! Isn't there anyone left except Kanter going into next season? This is what happens when you get too infatuated with draft choices. It's like beautiful women that you see somewhere and then you get to know them and everything

changes!

Any idea where this one is from? I assume it's a high school game. That first kid in black is so over-matched it's ridiculous.
 
Holy Cow that coast-to-coast at 2:37 was unreal.

The other team's players looked like orange cones. That drive was LeBronesque! I was impressed with his defensive presence, length, quiet confidence (very rare in any time), BBIQ, all around game, and willingness to be the man. Does this guy have any weaknesses?
 

Every one of these highlights could have been Gerald Green. In order to be a hall of famer, you have to have at least good athleticism, but that's about it. Skill, smarts, drive, commitment, a competitive nature, and a basketball body are all way more important. Granted the two guard requires athleticism more than any position in my opinion, and Wiggins is a prototype with his body and athleticism. I don't know much about his other assets.

My concern with him is quickness. He hasn't shown that quick first step that's necessary to beat his man off the dribble and get to the rim consistently in the half court, and he hasn't shown the lateral quickness it will take to stay in front of the elite SF's in the NBA. I'm not sure I've seen Jabari guard someone on the perimeter yet this season. He's always playing the 5 on the defensive end for Duke, and it's working well for them, and he's shown the ability to do it, but it's not what he'll be asked to do in the NBA.

Not trying to bag on Parker, I love the guy, and would kill to have him on the Jazz. But he has his question marks like anyone else.

Except the spin move which led to a soft floater.
