Wiggins seems to have no personality, while Parker is genuinely likeable. There have always been better players than Paul Pierce, but I have loved watching him play - because I liked his personality.

Wiggins bores me. Put me in camp Jabari.

Wiggins, I could care less about personality, I am more about ability on the court.

Wiggins can jump really well.   I have seen him dunk it looking down at the rim.

Personality shouldnt matter. Are you telling me you would take Paul Pierce over Kobe or LBJ because you like watching pierce play (Im a huge pierce fan dont get me wrong)

Wiggins is just soooooo athletic. and ridiculously good. one thing that is underrated about him that parker picked up on is his burst speed, where he can blow past his defender in a couple of steps

Let me say this and you guys might think i'm crazy but by the time everything is said an done Julius Randle Might be better than both players the kid is an absolute monster. That is not saying i wouldn't take parker or wiggins but i don't think you can go wrong with any of these 3 Studs!!!!

You aren't crazy.  Randle is my second favorite of the prospects (youtube analyst, keep in mind).  He has a lot of potential with his size and athletic ability.  He is a natural going to the rim.

I think it's fair to say that personality and character can be linked, and after seeing guys like Aaron Hernandez and to a lesser degree alfonso dennard get in trouble, personality should matter.

Wiggins can jump really well.   I have seen him dunk it looking down at the rim.

so can Gerald Green, but just being able to dunk on people won't do you any good long term

Of all the highlights I've seen of him, he is just dunking. I'm very impressed with Gordon, Jabari and Julius Randle...

say for example if we do get the #1 pick...who do you guys most want us to pick? Will you guys buy into the Wiggins hype and draft him or will you draft someone else?

Honestly if we draft Randle, Parker, Wiggins or Gordon I'll be happy, probably won't have a firm opinion until I see them play in college.

With how the Celtics are trending I think I will watch a lot more college basketball than normal. I'm going to try and catch as many Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and Arizona games as possible, while also watching the normal amount of BC basketball that I usually watch.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon

KG always had way more personality than Tim Duncan.

Point being, personality is nice, but winning is better.

Give me the player that will win us more games.

I like Randle and Parker better. Wiggins is quick, and athletic, but like others have said his shot looks weird and needs a lot of work on.

No one can replace Pierce, but if anyone I can see Parker being the one to do it.

I have never seen them play a full competitive game(All-Star games don't count). My guess is most here haven't. I refuse to make a determination on these children until I have at least seen them play some in college.

I did make a very early determination on Nerlens Noel but I had seen him play since he was in middle school.

I don't know enough about either to feel comfortable making a choice. Obviously Wiggins has received more press to this point, but we'll see how they do this upcoming year. There are others who will likely be quite good coming out of the 2014 draft, like Randle. It'll be an exciting year.

What I'd love more than anything else, though, is for the Cs to luck into a top 1 or 2 pick, which then gets traded with salary filler to OKC for Durant. I know its not happening, but I can dream, right?
