During the opening week or so of the NCAA Tournament, we have seen both Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins struggle against teams that don’t have as much talent as theirs, and against guys who most likely will not be making it in the NBA. However, both are according to basketball analysts, going to go in the top 5 of this upcoming NBA draft.
Charles Barkley doesn’t think that both Parker and Wiggins are ready to play in the NBA. He wants them to stay for at least another year in college.
“I want these kids to stay in school longer because the NBA is worse than it’s ever been,” Barkley said. “It’s not good basketball. It’s frustrating for me to watch. These kids aren’t physically or emotionally ready to come and play against grown men.
“Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins are supposed to be top-3 draft picks. They didn’t have very good games — and it’s just one game — but if they’re going to struggle against Mercer and Stanford, they’re really gonna struggle against grown men.”
To be honest, ready or not, if you’re going to be selected in the top 5 of the draft and most likely go first and second overall respectively, JUST GO.
Marcus Smart from Oklahoma State University decided to stay another year, and his draft stock has fallen somewhat. Why take a chance that the same could happen to you? Go and get it while you can.
