Wiggins vs Parker

[Jazz Spazz]

I would draft on skill and tapped potential, not untapped potential and "upside".

If Parker is the better player, draft him. If Wiggins is the better player draft him. They are close enough to each other that I don't think you can go wrong, but I do have the feeling Parker has a better all around game.

I really, really, really want to see a full season from both of them to even be close to deciding, and that's not even throwing Randle or any of the other freaks into the conversation.

I complement you on your fine research.

You enjoy torturing me, don't you? Probably pull the whiskers off of puppy dogs, too.

What? I was simply stating that I sometimes act as a fine companion to you in some of your research. Can you not handle a complement?

Not only do you complement me, sometimes you even complete me. Just don't tell my wife.

You draft the player you think is going to be better a few years down the road. You look at how good they are now, how good you think they can become, and the likelihood of them reaching that potential. You don't just go with whoever is best right now, like you're claiming.

I project euler you on your fine research.

Fixed.

I see this as the Safe know what you are getting and is good pick (Hayward) VS. the Could be great/ high potential pick (Paul George). So yeah we know who the Jazz are going to pick.

Worse is if Wiggins says he won't play for Jazz and demands to play for LA. Just like Kobe and Charlotte. I am not saying Wiggins has the ego like Kobe but agents have a funny way of "convincing their clients" to follow the fame and money.

I'm not worried about this. He isn't a Manning and he can't go play for the Yankees like Elway. He has no option. Those guys had options. Kobe wasn't hyped like Wiggins is. Besides, Durant has proved you can be huge in a small market.

I'm watching the Duke opener.. holy **** Jabari is good. Coach K is using him like he used LeBron in the Olympics. If we can get a pick that is Top 2 and a new coach, we're going to be contenders for a long time.

This makes me happy.

We need all these guys to look good (wiggins, parker, randle, exum, gordon, harrisons) so that I can still feel good when the jazz are healthy and winning games that we will still get a star in the draft

Parker looks like Carmelo. Awesome.
