Chad Ford: Ainge would take Parker if landed #1 pick

[mr. dee]

Back in 2007, Ainge said that he would pick Durant over Oden. I won't be surprised if he picked Parker at #1 at all. I want Embiid to land of us but wont be disappointed if he picked Parker.

I'd rather use the Hawks/Nets pick to select Cauley-Stein. If our pick will be lower than top 5, I'd rather use it for BPA.

Lol i just played this and the Lakers got embiid with the #1 pick:  http://espn.go.com/nba/lottery2014/mockdraft

Another thing that I wouldn't be surprising especially a Stern/Silver's favorite team.

Ford is an idiot. Ainge needs to draft Embiid if he had the #1 pick.  Embiids defense is better than Parkers and his offensive skills isn't that far off

It's actually very far off. Offensively speaking Parker is as polished as it gets.

[slamtheking]

1. Boston - Embiid
2. Atlanta - Wiggins
3. Boston (Brooklyn) - Parker

It could happen.

if by miracle of miracles this happened, Embiid is exactly who to pick with #1 since no matter who's picked at number 2, C's will get either Wiggins or Parker.  If they took Parker first, Embiid might go second leaving them to take another SF in Wiggins.

would be funny if we landed the #1 pick, Took Parker... and he went on a Mormon Mission for 2 years.

ha ha

And what is Embiids offensive game is small potatoes?

I'm hoping we don't draft Wiggins. The kid lacks many things. He is mostly flash right now. Thats all i can say

[ssspence]

any of them, I don't care, we'd be lucky with any of them

Yeah, we're more likely going to get Willey-Cauley Stein or someone else in the 6-12 range.

And they might end up being a great player, who knows.

we are? how many games are left? how many have we lost in a row now?

  I heard he's practically guaranteed to be a LeBron level player. All those scouts can't be wrong...

From who? no offense dude, but you have a tendency to be a bit if a romantic....

What about this though:

Rondo
Wiggins
Parker
Sullinger
Asik

This is all ridiculous though, it will never happen

I thought that was sarcasm directed at the people who seem to think there are a guaranteed five future Hall of Famers in this draft.

I agree that Embiid and Parker looks a lot better than Wiggins right now, and I would be ecstatic if we ended up with either of them. But for some reason, I can't help but think that Wiggins will end up having a better NBA career than the both of them.
