You obviously haven't seen Parker play as much as I have. So far, I think I've seen almost every game he's played, and to say he's not effective in the post, just tells me you haven't seen him enough. He has a terrific mid-range game. He has a stepback fall away jumper. He can put the ball on the floor and attack the rim. He's an excellent ballhandler for a Small forward, a position he played in highschool, and in all the highschool all star games. In the Nike summit games he guarded Wiggins and did an excellent job on him. Offensively, there is no hole in his game. He can score inside, mid-range, and from beyond the arc. And if you think otherwise, then as I said, you just haven't seen him play enough. But I've never been so convinced about a player. He's also a good rebounder. Yes, he's quite capable of playing the stretch four position, but he's more than capable of playing the SF position as well.
Having said all that, our chance of landing Parker is slim and none. He's going to be the first or second pick in the draft. Our chance of landing Embiid isn't much better, but I'd be very happy with him, or Wiggins, or Randle, or Exum, and, or, if we end up somewhere between 8 and 12, then Willie Cauley-Stein. I also like Vonleh in that range. Exum by the way was the Australian national player of the year, and he led his team to the championships. I don't have his last game results in front of me, but he put up some ridiculous numbers, something on the order of 28 pts, 19 assists, 14 rebounds, and 5 steals. Don't quote me on those numbers, but they were that ridiculous.
