Parker:
PPG: 19.1
FG%: 47.3
3PT%: 35.8
FT%: 74.8
AST: 1.2
TO: 2.3

Wiggins:
PPG: 17.4
FG%: 44.8
3PT%: 34.1
FT%: 77.5
AST: 1.2
TO: 2.3

If Jabari is polished and NBA ready, and Wiggins is raw and not reached his potential, this is an even bigger steal. I am not even TOUCHING on the defensive side of the ball, where Wiggins could be all NBA at some point, or the freakish athletic ability he posses over Parker. I am honestly shocked this was even a debate. The only guy who should have been considered is Embiid, because of the position he plays.

He's shown flashes of brilliance on both sides of the court.

Blows my mind that players can even let that happen leading up to the draft.

Automatik;1630604 wrote:No? He show up to workouts fat? That would explain why he didn't get drafted, which I found surprising.

Laley23;1630606 wrote:I mean, Im not claiming to be an expert or anything, but I watch more college basketball then almost everyone on this site (outside of a few guys, some on this thread)...to claim Wiggins isnt a scorer is frankly just wrong. They (Kansas) ran a post oriented offense, through Embiid, Black and Ellis. Wiggins has a knack for scoring, and finds the ball and puts it in. He does NOT have the take over attitude yet, as he is as humble as they come at the moment. That can be taught. When Self needed a bucket, Wiggins was often put into 1-1 and can get his shot off over almost anyone, or get to the bucket. Sorry Rob, its just wrong to say he isnt smooth or a good offensive player.

Jabari looks better, because he has more moves around the basket and in his post game. But, Jabari also was instructed to shoot the ball at will and played on a team that jacked up 867 threes in a loss to Mercer in RD1, where he went 4-14...clutch. Duke was much more geared to a guy looking great on offense, and watching both about 25 times each this year, Parker STILL didnt look that much better offensively to me, despite a system where K ran it through him on the outside and inside.

You have to be able to create when the shot clock is down in the NBA, he just needs to improve that aspect of his game. I don't think his handle is where it needs to be YET to be able to do that, but I think it will get there. A natural athlete like that can get good at any aspect of the game really.

I'm not a big vonleh fan either. I just don't see it.
