The last thing I do is judge a player's ability to perform on the next level off of statistics. That's a terrible metric to gauge whether or not a player will be able to translate to the next level.

When I look at wiggins, I see someone who doesn't have a position. Too thin to play the four, and doesn't have the shooting nor creativity offensively to be an effective 3. I honestly don't see it. To me, from what I see in his game he looks more like a future rotation player than a franchise changer.


All of his buckets are struggle for the most part. He's no exhibiting any qualities thus far that suggest he'll be able to be a bonifide all star on the next level. It's not about how many points he scores, it's about how he scores them and almost all of his points come from putbacks, filling the lanes and getting layups, or the occasional easy basket.

I agree with all your points, especially considering the fact that Wiggins is viewed as a Generational talent and was expected to come out the gate firing from all angles. However, did you expect Westbrook to become anywhere the player he is today, if you watched him when he was at UCLA? I don't think anybody expected him to become the player he is today. You may be wondering why I'm making this comparison? You always take the gamble on players who posses excellent size for their position (wiggin is and will only play SF in the NBA), large wingspan, world class athleticism, passion for the game, potential to be an elite defender, etc. I am willing to take a bet that he is going to figure it out sooner or later.

The Knicks are about to lose to a Anthony Davis-less Pelicans team at home.

Taking an L at home to the Pelicans without Anthony Davis.

Melo is worthless if he ain't scoring 

He can't impact the game defensively...can't impact the game as a playmaker. Nothing.

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Put a fork in the Knicks, they're kaput.

The Knicks offense is just everyone taking turns on isos.

J.R.: "It's my turn"

Melo: "My turn"

Andrea: "My turn"

Felton: "Me too!" *misses layup*

Awful to watch.  Melo ball for all!

Sad thing about the Knicks is that they literally have nothing to look forward to.

They're not going to trade Melo.

They can't trade Amare.

No draft picks.

Shumpert isn't going to net them anything that can realistically turn things around.

They're stuck with what they have.

I still think the Knicks find a way to get into the playoffs, but the thought of them gift wrapping Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker to the Nuggets is both hilarious and infuriating.

 

[nomadicsole21]

Typical Portland move. Go up big, let the other team crawl back.

 

[awwsome]

Knicks got no draft picks too

 

[harlemtothebronx]

 

[JD617]

Willis Reed isn't walking through that door.

I still think the Knicks find a way to get into the playoffs, but the thought of them gift wrapping Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker to the Nuggets is both hilarious and infuriating.

....And then the Nuggets waste whoever it is by playing them in a platoon with all their other young players who get max 25m a game
