This was a much anticipated match-up for an up and coming Bruins team against a Duke team chock-full of NBA talent. With 3 projected lottery picks (Parker, Hood, LaVine) in the mix, this was a game worth watching for draft fans. So let’s breakdown who performed and who fizzled.

Jabari Parker – Duke
Parker leapfrogged his freshman rival Andrew Wiggins for the projected #1 spot a little while ago after a series of strong performances, and tonight’s match-up against UCLA was no exception; Parker dropped 23 points on 7-13 shooting, and 4-8 from deep. He also made it a double-double with 10 boards and also dished out five assists. Looking at the box-score, you can see why scouts and NBA executives are so high on this kid.

However, when a player is projected #1 in such a loaded draft-class, you can’t help but nitpick. Firstly, I still have my doubts about his release, while it’s consistent, it also takes him a decent amount of time to get up into the shot and it might cause him some trouble getting free to shoot in the NBA next year. Also, while he does have a nice handle, I didn’t see much isolation scoring from Parker on the perimeter. Rather, he moves off the ball, spots up for shots or goes to work in the post. While these are all valuable traits, you have to wonder whether he can carry the burden of an NBA franchise without better isolation scoring, especially given the expected decline in his post-up game once he makes the jump to the pros. This might account for an 8 minute stretch in the second half where Parker went scoreless until he found his way back to the FT line.

Athletically, he’s not going to wow you, but he’s no slouch and should hold his own. That said, lateral quickness appears to be a concern as Kyle Anderson took him to school off the bounce on numerous occasions and Parker appeared completely unable to stop him. There has to be some cause for concern when you’re being beaten by a guy nick-named “Slo Mo”.

Overall, Parker still has the makings of a franchise player in the NBA, but despite a polished skill-set and productivity, there are still weaknesses in his game he needs to address before I’d take him over a guy like Wiggins – especially on the defensive end.

Rodney Hood – Duke
There was chatter coming into the season that Hood would outperform Parker, but thankfully that has died down and expectations for the 6-8 combo forward have come back down to Earth. Hood showed flashes of a solid shooting touch, great work ethic and athleticism, including a few strong drives to the basket to put the Bruins away down the stretch.

However, he didn’t quite seem comfortable creating his own shot and lacks the upside of his team-mate Parker and other projected lottery picks. Hood will play in the NBA and likely enjoy a long career, probably as a starter, but I didn’t see anything from him which said “star player”. Not a top-5 pick, but good value for a late lottery team looking to add an above average role player.

Zach LaVine – UCLA
This was the first opportunity I had to see LaVine play after hearing almost nothing about him until a few weeks ago, so I was surprised to find him coming off the bench. When he did come into the game, he was invisible through the first few minutes, and touched the ball maybe once, before passing it off to a team-mate. But the second time he touched it was leaking out on missed shot from Duke, receiving the outlet pass from Anderson and nearly grazing his head on the rim when he threw down the rock for a dunk. Ah. Now I understood why teams were so excited.

As the game wore on, it became apparent LaVine is more than just an athlete. He possesses sound form on his shooting stroke, even if it was a little off tonight, and his handle is at a high level. But what really impressed me was his body control and ability to hesitate before exploding past his man, seemingly at will. There was a particular drive where LaVine crossed over Hood (I think) twice on his way to the rim before dishing off a sweet no-look pass to Tony Parker, who unfortunately fumbled the beautiful pass.

While LaVine could certainly be taken in the top-5 in this draft, I think his career would benefit from another year in college refining his jumper and learning to be the man. If he came back he’d have a great chance of going 1st overall, but more importantly it would give him a chance to prepare for the pros properly and make sure he doesn’t flame out like other players who made a premature jump to the pros.

Kyle Anderson – UCLA
This kid is almost night and day from the player we saw alongside Shabazz Muhammad and Larry Drew III under Coach Howland last year. He’s more aggressive, shooting better, handling the rock more and fighting for rebounds more. He’s proving this year that he has a role to play on the next level offensively; a point-forward with good size and vision.

That said, his complete inability to play on- or off-ball D will continue to hurt his draft stock. The kid’s lateral quickness is non-existent and while he can play the PG offensively, you have to wonder who he could possible guard?

If Anderson puts on some more muscle and improves his conditioning and quickness he could carve out a niche role as point forward off the bench – a poor man’s Boris Diaw, if you will – but despite what Dick Vitale says, Anderson just isn’t all that special.

 For as talented as Parker and Hood are offensively, they really are terrible defenders.  That won’t hurt their draft stock because very few guys play D in the league anyways.

 I also liked the passing from Parker tonight.But wow he did make slowmo look fast…he definately has to improve his one on one defense,or he will just get isolated against and abused all game long in the nba.

Liked what i saw from Lavine,although he seems to need another year.It was nice to see him get the basket,which like u said he seemed to be able to do at will.

 Parker looked great out there. The game was close, but it always felt like Duke had it under control and the breakout was inevitable. Rookies can almost never defend as they move to the next level, so I’m not so worried that he isn’t making much impact there. We know Parker won’t stay for his second year, but I’m sure he would be much improved defensively if he did. Instead he will go to the NBA and get lit up for a few months there. But eventually he will learn and probably be decent for a big time scorer.

 Admittedly, I haven’t gotten to watch much UCLA action this year, but how come no love for Jordan Adams? From what little I have seen of this kid and the more I read up on his performances, the more I can’t help but think he could be James Harden lite.

[omphalosParticipant]

Adams had a really poor showing tonight. Has a nice release on his shot, very high and quick, but he doesn’t get off the ground when he shoots, and it wasn’t dropping. He also looks to be carrying a fair bit of weight.

He’s big enough to play the 2 in the NBA, but I’m not sure if he’s got any one skill that will get him drafted.

watched the game tonight and have seen about half the ucla games and a couple duke games as well

I really like parker. I haven’t seen wiggins yet, but I could totally see parker going #1 overall. I do agree with the one concern being his defense. WHen he was left with kyle Anderson one on one, it was hard to tell who was supposed to be the better player, you would think it was a toss up as Anderson was able to go right by him.

As for Anderson, love his game. Would love it more if he didn’t get so sloppy with the dribble. I was counting, and he had 4 turnovers tonight that led directly to fastbreak layups for duke. Keep in mind this game was a bit closer then the final score showed. Ucla was up 6 at one point in the first half, it was tied at half time and the game was a 7 point game with 3 minutes to go and ucla with the ball. Duke outscored ucla like 13-2 in the final 2 minutes to stretch out the final margin. So those little turnovers in what was actually a close game really hurt the bruins chances.

As for lavine, this is one of those games that he played poorly for a college player trying to help his team win a big game, but from an nba scouting standpoint, they had to like what they saw. He jacked up contested threes that rimmed out. He tried for flashy finishes instead of basic layups and missed twice. Thos things hurt your chances to win a game. But as an nba prospect, you can see that he has skills that definitely translate and tonight did nothing to hurt that.

That missed dunk by LaVine in transition would have brought the house down, it was a really nice move, even if the finish was just off.

 @omphalos nice insight in the top prospects in this draft. Parker is looking like a superstar. His body control and poise are unheard off for a guy his age. Also his shot is unique in terms of when he releases it at his apex, but by no means is it his biggest worry. Parker’s lift allows him to just so high that defenders can barely affect his shot, especially since he does not need to set his feet to get his shot off. Also the reason he could not post up was because UCLA was playing zone, every time Parker touched the ball on the block he got doubled or tripled team and passed it to the open man. The one thing he does have to work in his lateral movement, he got beat on the occasional cross over but his length and strength will transition well in the NBA. That slow lateral quickness could still be the result of his surgery he had at the beginning of his senior year. Overall, Jabari easily showed why he should be the number 1 pick come the draft.

 

As, for Anderson he really impressed me. He had a solid night overall. I think he can be a steal in this draft if chosen with the right pick. It is not often where a 6 9′ guy has they kind of handle and court vision. If he comes off the bench in the NBA that would benefit him so much because he won’t have to guard all those dynamic point guards. Lastly how will other point guards guard him? Defensively he does have some potential he has crazy length and quick hands and he can improve his speed and add some muscle. 

 

As for Hood, he showed off his athletism with some good drives to the basket as well as his mid range and 3 point game. This kid has the ability to become a nice scorer in the next level off the bench of course.

 Lavine easily showed why he is sky rocketing up the draft so far. He is as elite of an athlete as you can get, as well as having elite quickness and handle. Even though his jump shot was off his mechanics looked nice. He does have to add some weight though, as well as be a little bit more aggressive and look for the right basketball play rather then the home run play. 6 5′ point guard who is a freak athlete….. Hmm who does that remind me of?!?!

I love Slo Mo as I loved other big point forwards in the past (Luke Walton is one that comes to my mind), but I always fear those players don’t translate well in the Nba. The thing is, in college he’s able to be a superstar, because he has the ball in his hands most of the time. That is possible for many reasons: he’s the best ball handler in his team; defenses are worse of course; and the ncaa has the 35 seconds rule. And with the ball in his hand his biggest qualities are highlighted. In the Nba he’s probably going to play off the ball a lot more, because other players are better beating opponents off the dribble and without the ball in his hands he’s an average or below average player. If you combine that with defensive limitations you have a big problem.

 I watched the game and found this to be spot on. I HOPE that Zach Levine doesn’t stay another year, only because I feel like he would benefit from going a little lower in the draft and being on a team that doesn’t put major expectations on him right away. Selfishly, I also want as many good players as possible to declare so that the pick Orlando is getting from the worst of Nuggets/Knicks can be bolstered : ) 

One more note about the UCLA-Duke game: Rodney Hood’s Dr.J-style layup was really nasty. Check it out!

 Your nitpicking on Jabari truly is nitpicking. I really don’t know how I could take anyone over him if I have the number 1 pick right now. Sure Wiggins is about as athletic as you can be, but you can tell Parker has put so much more work into his game, and he just gets it. I’ll take skill, work ethic, and brains over athleticism any day.

[mikeyvthedonParticipant]

Though I do think a few of your criticisms on Jabari are a bit of a reach. I have a really hard time complaining about his release and think if anything, he has proven he can get his shot off from just about anywhere in a very tight window. His "slow release" is more him knowing when he can take his time to get a shot and square up. If he does not have time or space for that opportunity, he usually still can end up getting up a solid attempt. This play summed that up for me (at about 1:44, that 3 he hit from the corner): 

Also, Kyle Anderson may be called "Slo Mo", but that still does not mean he is easy to stop off of the bounce. The guy is running point, after all, he has a handle. Plus, Kyle is 6-9 with a 7-2 wingspan, that is legit PF type size. Jabari is tall and long as well, Kyle is still taller and longer. Kyle also is good at changing speeds and while he actually does have a pretty damn slow release, he is quite crafty and good at using his body.

Perimeter defense could be a concern for Jabari, though I still think it has been a tad overblown. He really is playing the 4/5 defensively most times he is on the court and I truly do not believe his defense is that bad. He is smart, has active hands and while his lateral quickness is not great, he still gives an effort. Desire is a big part of defense and you see it with Parker. I doubt he will ever be a lockdown guy and if Wiggins has anything over him, it is that, just really do not think he is as poor a defender as people have made him out to be. Know this is an anonymous NBA Assistant, but he told Adam Zagoria Jabari did a great job D-ing up Kevin Durant at his camp this summer.

Andrew Wiggins is going to more than likely be my favorite player in the NBA once he is there and he is definitely my favorite prospect in this years draft. He does some amazing things and his potential is vast. However, while my heart is behind Wiggins and I can see the value he can bring once he gets to the league, what I have seen from Parker is making it really hard not to go with him. I still have Wiggins #1, but Jabari is absolutely special and his offensive skill set absolutely translates to the next level. Wiggins will be a killer in transition and very difficult to guard going to the rim, however Jabari is definitely ahead of him as far as providing offense right off of the bat. Do not think the divide is major once they get to the pros, just think Jabari is much more of a sure thing as far as that goes.

I do not know about Parker working harder or being smarter than Andrew Wiggins, though that tends to be what is perceived. Think part of that is the demeanor and yes, Parker does tend to have a better idea of where to be on the court and his skill set is excellent. Still Wiggins works in a different way and I believe he is a competitor. Guys who get labelled as having a low motor usually just need to figure out what they must do to use their ability to their full potential. Think Wiggins is still learning that, as well as getting comfortable with being the go-to player.

They are on different teams and Parker is expected to score more, plus gets to abuse 4 men at the college level whereas Wiggins has primarily played as a 2/3. Will say that Wiggins has a great deal of potential, he does have a skill set and I would not write him off as not working as hard or being as smart as Jabari just yet. Just appears that Jabari does indeed have the upper hand at this point, however Wiggins having more to learn does not mean he will not eventually put things together. I do believe once they get to the NBA, both will be incredibly effective and the divide will not be huge.

Wiggins does indeed look like more of a risk than Jabari, at least from what I have seen thus far. He still needs to put some things together, whereas Jabari has the look of a high level go-to scorer right off of the bat. I still find that unless a players defense is exponentially better than another players, scoring usually tends to win out. Wiggins has way more potential as a defensive player, however will he bring it on offense more consistently? Will he be that scorer you can rely on? I could see it happening, which is why I still have him at the top, just also feel like he has a ways to go before being better than Parker in that area. This does make taking him over Jabari look like a legitimate risk, at least from what they have both shown us early on in their freshman seasons.

Jabari Parker can shoot from anywhere on the court.  He has 3 point range.  He can finish inside, and go over the top and dunk.  He has great size for a small forward, and he is also big enough and strong enough to play some stretch 4.  He’s a great player for today’s modern NBA.

Andrew Wiggins is more raw right now.  Not as big and bulky without Parker’s shot, but he is a heck of an athlete and a good finisher. 

Wiggins would have been the guy to go with 30 years ago, when 3 pointers weren’t as important and when wing players were smaller.  Wiggins would have had great size for the 3 spot and a guy who could also defend guards and post up against forwards.  Or, 20 years ago when we had more iso guys and volume scorers.

The league is now interested in efficient scoring, 3 point shooting, size, versatility, and play making skills.

For today’s NBA, I will go with Jabari Parker unless Andrew Wiggins continues to improve between now and the end of March Madness.
