Battle of the Top 2 Rookies Jabari Parker VS Andrew Wiggins: Bucks win over Timberwolves 103-86: Sanders and Knight score 15 each

I sit there and thought on draft night that the Cleveland Cavaliers should have selected Jabari Parker over Andrew Wiggins. I know what does Cleveland have to do with this, well the trade for Kevin Love. I feel that the Milwaukee Bucks are blessed that Jabari Parker went number 2 to them in the 2014 NBA Draft. Last night it was the two teams that have the top two draft rookies in Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker.

As far as points Andrew Wiggins did better, but as far as teams are concerned, the Milwaukee Bucks got the better end of the deal by beating the struggling Minnesota Timberwolves 103-86.  Larry Sanders and Brandon Knight each scored 15 to lead the way for the Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo better known as the Greek Freak added 13 points. Here are the stats for each team.

I personally enjoyed Jason Kidd as an NBA player when he was on the Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks, I admit I enjoyed his stunt last year as Brooklyn Nets coach, and I admit the soda spill incident was my personal favorite.  I am glad though he is coach for the Milwaukee Bucks and he is doing a good job. I loved his reaction when Larry Sanders almost shot the ball in the wrong basket.  While he is not on the level of Marc Jackson, Doc Rivers or Phil Jackson, he is a good and entertaining coach.  I can see this team if they keep playing solid getting into the playoffs.  I think rookie small forward Jabari Parker will get better, but he is doing solid.  I feel that Jabari doesn't have to lead this franchise because of some of the solid pieces on this team already in place ( Brandon Knight, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Larry Sanders and OJ Mayo are just some that come to mind for me).  Jason Kidd as impressed me as a coach, and Brandon Knight to me is getting better as a point guard. What are your thoughts about this win?  Do you think the Bucks will make the playoffs?  If yes, how far will they advance?  Thank you for reading Pro Basketball Hoops Land.
