Wiggins, Parker, the Kentucky's 5 star freshman.

Who do yall think will be best? Have the best pro career?

I'm thinking it will be Julius Randle or Wiggins. Something just won't let me hop on the Jabari Parker bandwagon.

Wiggins athleticism is through the roof. I think Randle is the most polished player though. 25 points and 13 boards in first game is legit.

This is the best freshman class in a long, long time.

He's not there yet, but I think Joel Embiid is a candidate to have the best pro career. Legit seven-footers with his combination of skill, athleticism, and frame don't come around very often.

Also, Aaron Gordon has 9 points and 8 rebounds at the half for Zona.

I think he's more skilled than Gordon, but isn't quite as big.

He's more like an ultra-athletic version of Marion imo.

Yea I can see that. When I watch him I just get Blake Griffin vibes.

This freshman class is just phenomenal.

Which is exactly why I don't understand people comparing last years' struggle at UK to this year's class. Last year was probably the worst in a decade and this one is probably the best.

Parker looked insanely polished for a freshman in his first game tonight

James Young is one of the more undervalued guys of the whole bunch. Kid has a beautiful shot. Can take it to the hole or step out. I really, really like his game.

Randle is a whole other level in the post. He's more of a hoss than AD was at this point but hasn't quite developed the defensive/shot blocking prowess that he had from early on. Going to be very good though. And a very heady kid, definitely a floor general.

I was very impressed with Young. If he consistently knocks down the 3, he will be a hoss.

I really liked Randle's quote about making the team play hard the whole time. He is awesome

Julius Randle IMO will end up the best college player of the bunch. Not sure if it will translate to the NBA, but I think he is an unstoppable guy on the collegiate level. I think he takes the MKG role Kentucky had on the way to a championship 2 years ago.

He looks like the real deal.He has no shortage of confidence either.

Maybe a little too much for a Freshman.But if he backs it up,look out.
