Chad Ford: Who's NBA execs' No. 1 draft pick?

[TwinTower14]

Parker had another great game.  23/9 I think.  Wiggins, had a pretty run of the mill type of night, 13/6.  Hood is a pretty highly touted prospect, sat out last season due to a transfer.  He will be a lottery pick this year...

Outside of hood being 6'8 220 pounds is there anything else about him you know?

From Chad Ford - Projection Lottery Pick
Positives •Smooth lefty
•Skilled shooter with deep range
•Really nice midrange game
•Great size for his position
 
Negatives •Needs to add strength
•Not a great defender
•Needs to improve as a rebounder

Is Parker doing the Mormon mission thing ?

What would be sweet is if we land Randle/Wiggins with a pick, & then wait a couple years for Parker and hit on the Nets pick with him, lol.

I would assume Parker is not doing the mission, and is one and done of course.

His mission is to dominate NBA competition while wearing Celtic Green for the next 15 years

I absolutely love Jabari Parker's game.  He is definitely built for the next level.  Funny speculating exactly what he'll turn into at the Pro level.

It's early but Parker looks like the most skilled SF in college basketball since Melo....he can literally do it all on the court.  Whoever gets him, Randle, Wiggins or Smart are going to be extremely happy and lucky....

Reposted, my post from Red's Army's comment section:

I have to go with Exum if we trade Rondo. I only want us to trade Rondo if we can get a team like Detroit to overpay with a guy like Drummond along with either a pick or expiring deal. In that case, Exum is the best fit and no slouch in terms of skills either. I've read around that the Cs love Exum and Ainge and his team certainly know what they're doing on draft day. I've watched his tapes and he shows flashes of Rondo and Tony Parker, only at 6'6". He has the same monstrous wingspan Rondo does and can play both positions, but his natural position is PG, which is exciting. Exum-Bradley-Gordon Hayward/Jeff Green/star acquired with our wealth of assets-Sullinger-Drummond is a stellar lineup that could be contending before Exum even turns 21.

If we keep Rondo, which again, will be the case unless we're overwhelmed with an offer, I have to be unexciting and go with Wiggins. Parker is phenomenal, as is Randle (though I don't like picking a guy that would overshadow one of our few gems in Sully), but there's a reason Wiggins has managed to hold these guys off for a while now. Clearly the most concrete, visible potential, good character, and a game that could impact an NBA season right now regardless of how much better he looks to be in a few years. Rondo-Bradley-Wiggins-Sully-Vitor/2015 big man (that draft is loaded with big guys) is another great lineup that could compete very soon, though in my opinion is a lesser lineup to the Exum lineup.

I wonder if Randle will be able to dominate in the nba the way he has HS and college ball. Just a smidge short to be able to have his way underneath the basket imo

If he lost some weight, i wonder also if he could be a power small forward. He has a decent amount of perimeter skills to possibly pull it off
