1. Embiid

2. Wiggins
3. Parker
4. Exum - unlike others, I don't see Rondo being gone if we draft Exum.

5. Vonleh

Then I see Randle, Smart, Gordon etc; however, I'm not sure how these guys fit into the current C's roster so would look to include some other assets and trade up for one of the top 4.

For me, Rondo and Sully are the 2 that we need to hang onto and everybody else fits around them. I'd like to keep Green but if we draft Wiggins or Parker, he becomes expendable.
He could play 2 easily.

I really think it's a top 4, not 3 this year.  What's not worrying me about not getting Embiid to plug our oversized hole at Center is the expected plethora of big men prospects in the next draft--especially since we'll stink again next year.

adding Wiggins, Parker or Exum to Rondo and Sully (with KO and Fav hopefully continuing to develop into solid backups off the bench) would mesh well with a good big man in next year's draft (he said with extreme optimism)

Who do you like in next years draft at center?

I assume you're referring to Exum and if so, I agree. This is why I don't think RR is gone if we draft Exum.

Exum is long, quick, cuts to the basket and slashes well with the ball. Imagine him and RR on the fastbreak with an outlet from Sully. Exum just needs to add some range and strength and he fits perfectly next to RR.

I don't know how to rank Embiid or Wiggins but those would be my top 2 with Parker number 3.  I liked Parker the most coming into the season because I thought he was ridiculously skilled and an above average athlete.  Besides the opening games of the year, his athleticism hasn't impressed.  He's had a nice few dunks but generally, he's looked slow off the dribble and then slow getting into his shot.  He's gotten blocked a lot and a lot of those blocks have been complete obliterations.  That's concerning at the college level.  Further, his jump shot has been very spotty over a long stretch of games.  His percentage on jumpers off the dribble has to be very low. 

Of course Parker might be a different beast with better conditioning but Wiggins and Embiid also have lots of room for improvement as well.
