Wiggins looks good and Parker looks good too but we haven't even seen them play one game in college. Noel and Muhammad were locks at the top 5 this time last year and neither ended up going there. I doubt these gm are going to bank on draft lottery to save their job. This would be different if it was March and you had a number of players showing out but I never heard of teams planning to tank way in July.

You do know Kobe, KG, Dwight and Lebron never played one game in college either right?


I just want to make sure you understood that....

I'm not saying they shouldn't be highly touted because they haven't played college yet. I'm saying lets see what they can do before gms start risking their job telling ther teams to lose on purpose.

I agree. They was definitely hyping up Muhammad and Noel this time last year. Parker can jump through the gym but so could Gerald Green. The question is can he play? Only highlights I see are dunks over inferior athletes.

We'll see. :yeshrug:

It's getting outrageous with some teams already giving up before the season starts. They are holding out for players who may not pan out or may suffer an injury or not live up to expectations and returns to school.
