Wiggins vs Parker

I'm with Spazz. Parker has that feel for the game that Wiggins is not showing. Parker looks like Kobe, Wiggins like The Wet Bandit.
 
can you imagine the 'rig' talk when the lottery balls just so happen to send the lds prodigy to mormon-central? i think i'm calling it now, we finish last in nba, and pick 2nd -> Jabari Parker

This is exactly why it is almost certain that they tamper with it. The last four or five years have been very fishy to say the least for some of the reasons cited already but also the Pelicans with the #1 right after the NBA sold it.
 
I don't watch a lot of football, so this might be a naive thing to say....

But I feel like Jabari Parker vs. Andrew Wiggins is very similar to Andrew Luck vs. RGIII

The big difference is that we were able to watch Luck and RGIII play for a few years. Also, RGIII wasn't even in the discussion until later in the season, Parker Wiggins has been a debate for almost a year before they even played a college game.

I would call it a perfect match. This is what I'm hoping for :P

There are 1001 combinations that can be drawn. If a team gets number 1 pick and then one of their combinations is picked again, then they have to reshuffle and go again. Basically, it's impossible to have an exact time estimate. They used to do the lottery show during halftime of a game, and when it went to a half an hour show, there was no real reason to change since the NBA goes to great effort to run the lottery by the book. Plus, since they draft for the first pick, then second, then third, the NBA wants the drama of a countdown, which they can't do if they shot the lottery live.

Here's the actual lottery that took place.

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.

The Lakers are by far the most hated team in the NBA. Yeah they have a ton of fans but there are also a ton of people that want to barf every time they see a lakers jersey. I think wiggins would make more money over his career if he played elsewhere.

If lebron went to LA he would be hated by the rest of the NBA fan base. If MJ went to LA same story. For all of the success the Bulls had most fans didn't hate them for it. If we aren't in the playoffs we can get excited watching the spurs vs the heat, but many people don't even care to watch LA in the finals anymore.
 
No talk of Julius Randle? He looked dominant yesterday (23 points 15 rebounds) and could very well be the first player selected come draft time.

What? This makes no sense. On a down year LA was playing on national tv opening day and will be playing on Christmas.

I didn't used to be a conspiracy theorist but having just watched this video it's pretty obvious that their plan is to bore everybody to death and then just do whatever the hell they want. Also, that number 9 ball is a seriously aggressive athlete! It found it's way into the tube first on 3 out of the 4 draws. That can't possibly be by mere chance, right? I hope that they use those experienced ping pong balls next year (rather than bringing in newbies) and that the Jazz own every combination that begins with the number 9.
