Y'all remember how Russell Westbrook looked in college?

I'm betting on a world class athlete with a body from the basketball gods and an NBA bloodline, sorry.

Wiggins just doesn't have game man. He's an athlete.A thin one at that. And doesn't really posses much skill.

He may find some and change my mind, but as of right now that's what I see out of him. More Trevor Ariza and Corey Brewer than Lebron James.

Bill Walker.... He should have been next

 

[markangelo]

Hey Terrence, what she taste like ? 

inb4 cap'n crunch

 

[mr marcus]

 @ someone else saying corey brewer....we see it lol

 

[datznasty]

Wiggins is the next Ndudi Ebi. He got that Canadian low key gene, he don't even want to be great. Zach Lavine though will be that dude

 

[ballinsam23]

Ndudi Ebi lol chill. Corey Brewer sounds about right though. I'm hoping he is great, maybe its Kansas idk, but right now i just dont see that "it" factor.

 

[bjamez20]

Bill Walker.... He should have been next

dude could fly in HS

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

Zach Lavine is the truth

 

[buc em]

Every time I watch him play he seems to be absolutely clueless as far as spacing goes. He just stands around in one spot or gets in the way of one of his teammates. That's one of the most concerning things about his game to me.

 

[reggiekiller]

That Atlantic division is all kinds of awful and the Celtics have a good amount of talent on their team that isn't completely washed up. Rondo effects the game in every single possible way. They SHOULD win that division with him coming back.

while what you said is true, thats pathetic that the Celtics could possibly win the Atlantic :x

if i was a Knicks/Nets fan id probably off myself

semi srs

You're a pistons fan, get started

 

[rck3sactown]

Bill Walker.... He should have been next

dude could fly in HS

But dude got his **** tea bagged so hard by Sky Walker in a Vegas tourney

The Wiggins talk again

Dudes are just setting themselves up to have egg all over their faces. You could very well be right, but the 1,000s of people who do this for a living are basically unanimous on him.

 

[ballinsam23]

The 1000s of people who do this for a living are more often wrong than not. It wont be unanimous by June.

 

[ballinsam23]

Atleast Wiggins just took that shot. Nice to see him actually take a big shot like that.

 

[datznasty]

Ndudi Ebi lol chill. Corey Brewer sounds about right though. I'm hoping he is great, maybe its Kansas idk, but right now i just dont see that "it" factor.

Nic Batum?

Okay I'll stop.

 

[ballinsam23]

I love Batum.

I'll just say this about Wiggins... if your team had the #1 pick and they picked him over Parker, would you NOT be a little bit nervous?

Just imagine the possible pain/regret of watching Parker drop 20 points a night and making highlights on Sportscenter, while Wiggins struggles and you have to keep making excuses for him "The coaches don't use him right!"


Let's not overthink it people, Parker is the #1 pick. He's 6'8, he can shoot from outside, he can score in the post, he can handle the ball, he can pass. Zero character issues. I was on the Wiggins train before I had actually seen them play, but at this point Parker is a no-brainer to me. Don't overthink it.

I know that, but I havent seen this many people sold on one player since LeBron. A widespread approval like this comes around once in a red moon

 

[ballinsam23]

Booker with the unlimited yambs tonight

 

[blastercombo]

Wiggins will be a bust. Quote me!

Anonymous NBA scout/gm

Great athlete, no way he's the top pick in the draft. Julius Randle is better. There's just way too much hype. His skill level is average. He made a few shots but plays straight up and down and doesn't have any playmaking skills. Everything has to be a straight-line drive. Right now, he's the third- or fourth-best player for Kansas. He's long and athletic but has a long way to go."

Another one

"Until Wiggins learns how to play hard," one NBA scout said, "he's Kansas' third-best freshman."

Another one

While Wiggins has drawn some comparisons to LeBron James, one NBA scout said Wiggins' "worst-case scenario" is he's Vince Carter. Another scout likened him to Tracy McGrady.

"He's not LeBron," one NBA general manager said. "It's not his fault regarding all the hype. People say he's pretty humble. He's a top-three pick for sure, if not No. 1."

Another one

Wiggins "is not always playing hard and motivated," an NBA scout said. "That scares people. That scares me a little. You need a gym rat, someone that absolutely loves it. It's 82 games. It's tough. Those guys are harder to win with than guys who love it"

Anonymous on Parker via Marc Goodman

""He is a matchup nightmare, especially when they play him at the 5. He's bigger and stronger than I thought he was. He made his jumpers and came off screens and made a 3. That forces you to play up on him, and then he just abuses you going to the rim. He's got very good athleticism. He has to get better defensively and will. He rebounded well and can handle the ball like a guard. He has to learn how to bring it every play and needs to get a little better with his back-to-the-basket moves.""
