Cleveland is going to take Wiggins unless they trade out. Anything else is a smoke screen.

I hope those "experts" on espn are right...at least the one who had Randle going to the Lakers.

If he can improve his free throw shooting he could be a solid contributor.

I agree. I like Randle.

Agree. Its gotta be Wiggins or trade. Just heard on espn radio on my way to work that Orlando is offering Afflalo 4 and 12. Im not sure why they would take that if Philly is truly offering 3 and 10. Unless they really value Afflalo.

Parker wont be a bust unless you think he is gonna be Larry Bird. He is like a souped up version of Lamar Odom except without the Kardashians and crack. IMO he can be a Paul Pierce type of point forward, he will thrive in an NBA without a lot of rim protectors. Unless of course if Cleveland takes him and he has to play off of the current backcourt consisting of a shoot first PG and a one dimensional gunner.

He will be be in a far better situation in Milwaukee.

Wiggins is going to be a star player.

I doubt the top 2 trade out. More likely a team like Chicago trades up into the lottery to grab someone. Phoenix will almost assuredly draft and stash with one of their 3 number 1 picks as they dont want to have to pay 3 guys extentions 3 years from now.

IMO the strength in this draft is the depth as the number of players that should make an impact runs into the 20's. Compared to last years abysmal crop (only impact NBA players Oladipo, Noel?, Burke, Carter-Williams, Adams, Greekfreak, maybe Dieng, maybe Hardaway)

If he is Paul Pierce he wont be a bust. I dont see it though. Who would you take #1 Wiggins or Parker? Any opinion on Exum?

I think if I'm Cleveland I take Wiggins. His game is far better suited to Cleveland than Parkers. I havent seen Exum except on NBA draft express videos. If he is as good as advertised he will be an all star.

I think that the team that takes Embiid is going to regret it. How many big guys come in with this type of injury history and have a long top level career?

I take Wiggins over Parker but I don't think Parker will be a bust. Depends on your expectations from him.
