The No. 1 and No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft faced off on Wednesday night for the first time as professionals and the hype was getting real. Unfortunately, the two play for bottom of the barrel teams that probably won’t make the playoffs. Jabari Parker probably has the best possibility of squeezing in there with the Milwaukee Bucks, considering they’re in the Eastern Conference, but it’ll still be a few years before these two reach their potential.
On this play, Andrew Wiggins got the best of Jabari by blocking his attempt at the rim and sending it into the bleachers. Parker ended the game with 14 points and 7 rebounds while Wiggins finished his night with 14 points and 8 rebounds.
The Bucks ended up winning 103-86 to improve 9-7 for the season. Check out some of the highlights of the game below.
When asked if he and Wiggins were friends, Parker told reporters that he doesn't believe in long-distance relationships.
