Praying milwaukee takes wiggins.

we need parker in philly. wiggins is nothing but good defense and loads of potential right now. I dont wanna take that gamble.

Parker is what we need. Our defense will be fine
Jabari is who I wanted from the jump Wiggin has a crazy ceiling but if he never reaches it we'll have tanked a season for another Igoudala :scusthov:

Did that first scout really say Hakeem was 6'9 :what:

Dwight's only 6'9 without shoes.

I feel like Embiid is the truth. But i feel like wiggins has the highest potential. Embiid is the natural tho. Im really split between the two. Id go embiid i think just cause i see more skill right now and cause wiggins handle is shaky but i really wanna see wiggins succeed and reach his full potential. I think these two could be the Hakeem/MJ light. I really wanna see them both dominate.

I always go with the big if both have superstar potential. If Embiid's back checks out then I'm picking him definitely. I'm seeing him as a bigger Dwight. If he can even reach that level it's worth it.

Embiid is showing footwork and fluidity in the post that people have given up Dwight having.

If the Lakers actually had future picks, I'd give up the next 3-4 years of them to get Embiid. I'm all in.

I feel you on that. I think its case by case tho. I like the fake that an elite wing has supreme control over the pace and can get their own regardless. I feel like eve dominate bigs need to be set up a lot. But i think both Embiid and Wiggins are bigtime.

I agree with that. The reason I'd go big though is more scarcity of good ones. Even if Wiggins is great the drop off from the best SF/SG to the 5th best for instance is usually a lot less than centers.
