Kings possible draft picks game

[Cold]

Wiggins is actually a pretty good passer. Parker as well.

 

[upinsmoke]

I know Wiggins is all the rave right now but I really liked Marcus Smart last season and would not be suprised if him and his Cowboys make a big splash this year.

 

[Tetsujin]

Parker's outside shot is well developed compared to Lebron and even Melo at his age.

 

[Tetsujin]

I may have just hopped on the Parker bandwagon with that pass

 

[Tetsujin]

Embiid wants to block everything in his vicinity. So raw

 

[The Hammer]

I really like this Embiid kid.

I really like this Embiid kid.

Were this any other year, he probably would have been a first pick

 

[Tetsujin]

Embiid's court vision is exceptional considering how raw he is

Embiid's court vision is exceptional considering how raw he is

Exactly what I was just going to post. Vision and bbIQ. You can tell he has it. Probably from growing up playing (I assume) some soccer. It was innate to Doug Christie (and Nash) because of soccer I think as well. In terms of court/field awareness and p/roll, and 2-3 man games, soccer is like chess and basketball is like checkers.

 

[Tetsujin]

Wow. Parker is destroying

 

[Cold]

parker looks more athletic tonight than i remember.

 

[Tetsujin]

Parker is quick rather than fast but it seems like he's everywhere on the court.

 

[Bricklayer]

Realistically though its hard to see us taking a project player like Embiid in this upcoming draft though.

Off of wildly early/premature results Parker looks like the guy you would like out of the 4-some tonight.

 

[Tetsujin]

Embiid's build reminds me of Hassan Whiteside's in that their arms seem to be twice as long as a normal person's. That's about where that comparison ends

To add...

Apparently Embiid is being compared to a young Hakeem... Hakeem credits his famous "Dream Shake" to soccer. Hakeem was as good as he was in the post because he adapted moves he learned playing soccer. Embiid no doubt has as similar advantage.

 

[Tetsujin]

Parker is impressive. And that's all I have to say about that.

 

[Glenn]

I'll take Parker with a side order of Cauley-Stein.

 

[Cold]

The way parker plays, his skill set, his bust potential is like.... 0.

Thank you Forrest.

He could literally not improve through the rest of his life and still be considered a potential First team All-NBA guy

 

[Letsgokings13]

Jabari Parker. PLEASE.

 

[Cold]

Parker with 3 steals at half time. This dude has no hole in his game.

 

[Tetsujin]

This is early and hyperbole and incredibly irrational but I think I would be fine with losing every game over the rest of the season if it meant we would get Jabari.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Parker, wow. Just wow. He looks so fluid and in control. Been very impressive thus far.

 

[randymoss1881]

Parker, cousins, mclemore. Crazy offensive potential

We just need to get in the top 5 and let the lottery balls give us a top 3 pick but hey marcus smart wouldn't be bad at 5

 

[The Hammer]

Okay Parker is going to be a better pro than Wiggins.

 

[Cold]

Parker = Paul Pierce

Wiggins = Tmac

style wise

 

[Bricklayer]

Parker = Paul Pierce

Wiggins = Tmac

style wise

So the comparisons have run, but Wiggins looks nothing like TMac here tonight. Stylistically, athletically. TMac was a big guy. In control, long for his position. Wiggins looks like a quick skinny SG. Very fast, but I'm still waiting for him to do something impressive I can't see in 20 other games this week.

 

[Tetsujin]

Wiggins has been super quiet.

 

[storisaurus]

Parker is the real deal.
