I don't get the comparisons you gave to the top 3 guys.

What don't you get about them? If you truly think Parker is the next Carmelo, Wiggins is the next Paul George, and Embiid is the next Hakeem then you're out of your tree in my opinion.

 

[Mexi]

batum is really athletic and a good defender
he's like a Iggy type
 
dont see Jabari like that
 
poor mans Melo is Al Harrington. if you dont think Jabari is Melo, perhaps he's Al or somewhere in between
 
just IMO

I find Jabari to be just as athletic, he's just a little bigger... and as far as tendencies go they're pretty identical.

This is just bad


Jabari is not like Batum
Boston doesn't even need Randle in the slightest
Harris and WCS @ 27-28?
No LaVine?
Bazz isn't a 1st rounder

 

[Mexi]

Batum just shoots 3s and acts like a point forward
Active hands, solid defender.

Jabari at least posts up and i dont know about his playmaking. I see al harrington more than nic batum

Mexi already outlined why Batum & Parker aren't similar. Turner is a combo guard with very little athleticism and lacks quickness. Wiggins is literally the exact opposite. Embiid has already showcased more post moves as a freshman in college than Hibbert has his entire career, coupled with Embiid's superior jump shot. Not to mention Embiid is agile and runs the floor for a big. Hibbet is not that.
 
Not sure where you got the idea that I believed any of that, just saying those 3 guys don't play a similar game to the comparisons at all

Saw a comparison of Jabari somewhere to Glenn Robinson and I liked it. A lot of these comparisons are bad.

You have Jordan Adams and Kilpatrick way too high.

Where is Zack Lavine?

Don't think Jerami Grant is staying.

Highly doubt Perry Ellis declares.

Gary Harris is too low.

Dario Saric is WAY too low and that Posey comparison is laughable.

I have a lot more qualms but I have to get to class haha.

 

[Teagz]

Sean Kilpatrick isn't seriously getting top 10 buzz is he?

 

[buzzy]

The little I've seen of Parker has reminded me of Paul Pierce. While still athletic, he's pretty crafty and creative with his scoring.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Sean Kilpatrick isn't seriously getting top 10 buzz is he?

He's ranked 103 on ESPN lmao. And he's 24 years old.

I was gonna say haha
 
 
He looked horrible against UConn on saturday.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I actually just started reading some of the smaller text on here and sheesh, this is bad. Just a few I saw:

1) How is Rodney Hood a one-trick pony? He usually guards Duke opponents' best wing player. He's a good defender (not great)
2) How would Tyler Ennis declaring be a mistake, and how the hell is he comparable to Marquis Teague?!? Ennis is a PG who doesn't rely on his athleticism. His A/TO is nearly 4-1. He's basically the exact opposite of Marquis Teague. That's a terrible comparison.
3) Kyle Anderson doesn't have one-tenth the athleticism of Andre Iguodala.

Sorry for being harsh but this is just awful.

ive been saying that for a while lol, that's why I want him in Green


Jabari fits the Pierce/Grant Hill/ lesser TMac mold

 

[elcheato]

Paul Pierce is the most overly compared player in the history of the NBA. Any SF with good but not great athleticism and some what of a jump shot is compared to him. Never fails

 

[bosoxlover12]

YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH, CHEATO

 

[Mobruler]

The Bobcats drafting at 9 via Pistons makes me want to go suck on my exhaust pipe.

 

[dcpwner]

If the Bulls can establish a buyout for Mitotic I doubt we take a PF.
Similarly if we can extend Augistin I highly doubt we take a PG. Its no secret the Bulls need help on the wing. I wouldn't be surprised if we package our 2 picks to move up quite a bit.

 

[elcheato]

Don't think anyone in the top 10 is trading down for 14 & 18
 
The value of 18 is not worth moving down 4-8 spots
