wiggins and embiid did great tonight for Kansas. Embiid had a double double.
Oh wow, Wiggins and Parker. Really? Combined they just matched Melvin Ejim today.

Watched the entire Kansas game. Selden was best player for Kansas. Had 17 pts on only 7 shots. Wiggins 19 pts on 14 shots. Selden dropped some dimes too. Embiid had another off game.

Maybe Danny was there to see Olivier Hanlan too. Do you guys even watch college basketball or is it just 24/7 Wiggins, Embiid and Parker hype followed by a review of all the latest mock drafts?
Nothing wrong with watching CBB primarily for the pro-prospects that are likely to be high lottery picks.

Melvin Ejim had a monster game against a bad TCU team. He's also probably going to be a second round pick at best. So I don't really care about him.

Parker sure did look excellent last night, there's no denying that.

I also happen to think the worries about his defensive abilities are being overblown.  The kid is very smart, and is being coached by one of the best in the business.  You can see he puts in the effort on the defensive end.

Parker's biggest issue on defense is he's asked to play out of position.  Many times he is the defacto center.  That's a problem, but it's not Parker's 'problem'.
