Phase 1 complete.

Begin phase 2, give Parker Steve Talyor's jersey and hope nobody notices.

Here is Wojo's take on Jabari:

Don't know that it will necessarily help STJ but I think Jabari being in Milwaukee, Wojo coaching STJ now, having coached Jabari previously, could lead to some recruiting benefits at Simeon, and/or from the Chicago area. But I don't think it will hurt anything. Hard to really say how much of a positive effect it will have on anyone.

Maybe Parker will spring for some tacos at Qdoba, hey?

Good plan, a Duke booster buying a Marquette player lunch. Get Duke on some probation, force Coach K to retire, and hire him as our AD to bring in Boeheim as our GA with their USA Hoops connections!

"Mothers with babies in strollers, tall teenagers and dads holding toddlers were in the audience. So were Parker's parents, Lola and Sonny, brothers Chris and Darryl and sisters Iman and Tilah, along with Parker's agent, B.J. Armstrong, and former Duke assistant and new Marquette basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski."

The Wojo hire continues to pay dividends.  I've never been excited about a Bucks draft pick -- or any NBA draft pick, for that matter -- but I'm stoked about Jabari coming to Milwaukee.

Mbah Moute and Embiid.

Wait, no, nevermind.

These things don't matter.

I don't think that is an equal comparison. That was a different era in bucks basketball where LRMAM had requested to be traded multiple years in a row. I highly doubt LRMAM would mentor Embiid to come to Milwaukee just as he is trying to leave. In this situation, you have a guy who was obviously very excited to come to Milwaukee. He is more likely to speak highly of the city and help with recruiting. Not a ton but his presence with Wojo alone does make an impact.
