Miles Plumlee, who was selected by the Indiana Pacers with the 26th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, has spoken with his brother Mason in preparation for the draft this June.

“The biggest thing I’ve told (Mason) is to be in great shape,” Plumlee told RealGM. “I think that’s the first thing they look for on these teams. They’ve watched all your film, they know what you can bring to the table. But just showing them how much you want it, how hard you’re willing to work for it, is really big.”

While teams heavily analyze film and scouting reports, an individual workout is also a critical component of the evaluation process.

“For me, I think it was even more important than it will be for (Mason),” Plumlee told RealGM. “I don’t think I got to demonstrate as much of my game while I was in college as he did, but it’s important for a lot of people. I think he can show them his mid-range shot and that kind of stuff that he didn’t do as much during the year.”

Unlike most post players, Miles believes Mason’s playmaking ability can separate him in this draft class.

“Our games have changed a lot since we were kids, but the biggest thing that’s stayed a part of Mason’s game from a young age is his passing ability,” Plumlee told RealGM. “I think even as a post player he’s had to work at not being a pass first guy, but I think that’ll be a great thing. He’s easy to play with, he’s going to look for the open guys, and he likes to share the ball.”

Jabari Parker said early entry to the NBA is not a certainty.

“I’m going to look into that,” Parker said of staying at Duke beyond the 2013-14 season. “I love the whole attitude of ‘staying in college,’ because I want to take advantage of it. Getting a free education is big time in my family.”

Parker wants to be viewed as a role model in his hometown of Chicago.

“Everything in my city is negative,” Parker said of how he feels his hometown is portrayed in national media. “[The media] try to bring it down so much with the violence and I’m an African-American male in my community…going to college and that’s big time.

“I want to represent them in the best form, the best manner just to keep them close to my heart so they can see that there’s a young [guy] out on the South Side doing big things.”

Jabari Parker got a chance to size up Andrew Wiggins during the McDonald's All American game on Wednesday.

Parker blocked Wiggins’ first attempt from the perimeter, and managed to stay in front of Wiggins more often than not, but did commit five fouls in the process.

"It went pretty good," Parker said. "He is super athletic so I had to over-commit on the drive, but he can shoot so it was kind of difficult. He is a great player."

Wiggins finished with 19 points on 6-of-10 shooting and helped hold Parker to 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting.

"Going against Jabari is the best going against the best," Wiggins said. "I look forward to doing it in the future."
