21yoGMParticipantNba skill that is possessed right now:
- Joel Embiid- Athletic 7 footer.
- Andrew Wiggins: elite wing athlete. Can play and defend the 2 or 3
- Jabari Parker- best pure scorer since Kevin Durant. NBA ready SF
- Julius Randle- back to the basket low post PF
What they need to work on:
- Embiid- continue to work on his footwork, rebounding and passing out of double teams. Stay out of foul trouble. Only playing basketball for 3 years just continue to be a sponge.
- Wiggins- gain weight, better ball handler, be more aggressive. Work on his outside shot and one on one game.
- Parker- not rely on his jump shot so much, lose fat and add muscle, prove he’s not just a volume shooter and get teammates involved in the offense 4. Randle- learn to go right, face up game, be under control What they should be in three years:
- Embiid- close to 20pts, 10+reb, 2blk per game. A 7 footer who can play the 4 or 5 and is real defensive presence. The best footwork of any big since the dream. He will also get you 2+ assist per game because he has really learned to pass out of the double team.
- Wiggins- low to mid 20pts, 6+reb, 3+ast, 2 steals, and close to a blk a game.
- Parker- mid to high 20pts, 5+reb, 4+ast, 1 stl. Per game. Legit number 1 option on offense. The second best put scorer in the nba. Below average defender.
- Randle- Low20pts, 10+reb, 2.5ast. The best low post scoring PF in the nba. Average defende. What he lacks in height he make up for in strength allowing him to get into the chest of taller defenders and score.
What do guys see when you look at these players and others breaking them down into these three categories.

lalailaParticipantI agree on Embiid I can see him as a 20/10 and even more if he reaches his huge ceiling, idk about working on passing out of double teams, it’s actually has been called one of his strengths he is really looks to be a very good pasiing center..
for Wiggins you will never know, if he continues to be inconsistent he might become another Perry Jones, but if only he starts to look like a leader he automatically cna develop into Paul George level player..
for Jabari I still think you have to be a special athlete to be ‘the second best scorer in the nba’ I see him scoring 27 or something if he would play terrible defense his team would be bad borderline playoff team..I would like him better to be on contending team where he scores like 23ppg but gets 5asists and improves defense..that’s how I see his prime
I still have no idea how good Randle will be..If he is a player that misses jumpshots like at the start of the season and if he is like Beasley who avg tons of rebounds in college but his bad defense doesn’t translate even that rebounding ability to the NBA then he won’t be an allstar..
but if he is that player who will be like one of those bangers inside like Raldolph Griffin Lee..if he continues to shoot jumpshots and even making threes like last game while at the same time be the most dominant scorer in the post than he can be 22/12 franchise player

he_gets_bucketsParticipantWhilst Randle may have a huge strength advantage now in college, he isnt going to be bullying every player he comes across on the block in the league. He can hardly do anything on the right side of the ring at the moment, so its a pretty bold statement to say he will be the best low post scorer in the league when he isnt even the best in college right now. Demarcus Cousins, Brook Lopez and even older guys like Zach Randolph, Timmy D and Dirk will still be better then Randle on the low block for his first few years, if not for his whole career.
