Ok, I thought we were talking more of a feed it into the guy in the post like Karl Malone, Tim Duncan, Olajuwon etc. Even LBJ isn't THAT strong of a post player although it is an area he has been developing.

I dont really follow much college ball but just glanced at the numbers so far:

Parker / Wiggins
FG% -- 54% / 51%
3P% -- 46% / 33%
FT% -- 72% / 66%
REB -- 7.8 / 5.5
AST -- 1.8 / 1.4
BLK -- 1.6 / 0.6
STL -- 1.1 / 1.1
PF -- 2.3 PF / 1.6
TO -- 2.9 / 1.4
PTS -- 22.1 / 15.3

# of games and minutes played.....5 games, minutes played so far....280 vs 236.

Jabari Parker Stats, News, Videos, Highlights, Pictures, Bio - Duke Blue Devils - ESPN

Andrew Wiggins Stats, News, Videos, Highlights, Pictures, Bio - Kansas Jayhawks - ESPN

So far, I can't draw any conclusions. Both will obviously be top 5 picks in the upcoming draft but without following their individual games and seeing what the coach is trying to develop and accomplish etc. it's rather meaningless.

It's also more about realizing their potential once they turn pro.

As it stands, this is a very exciting draft class.

So now that the draft is close, who do you think will take Wiggins? I think he's either 1 or 3. Cavs could take him first but would probably prefer the big man Embiid, and I don't see the Bucks taking Wiggins, as they already have a similar player in the Greek kid (Antetokoumpo). So hopefully he will fall to the 3rd spot and Philly.

I feel sorry for Wiggins if that's the case.

Philly has a poor track record of developing talent and even worse in terms of pulling a team together.

New regime. New owner, GM and coach. New offices and practice facility.
