Wiggins's Canadianness would smooth over any potential issues
Would buy league pass for this team

this is why i don't care when the Kings lose. all i want to see is Boogie dominating and McLemore getting some good minutes and starting to become a solid NBA player. as long as thats happening, i welcome losses

You right. He can ball and he got hops too. He gets a bad rap because he's white and his haircut

Believe it or not.. there's a possibility a player can fall somewhere between the greatest basketball player in the NBA and D MIles 
If you believe in Wiggins, that doesn't mean you're guaranteeing he'll eventually be the #1 player in the game... maybe it means you think he'll be a multiple all-star/all-nba/elite player and that's good enough.

Exactly, keep stocking up them lottery picks and keep the cap space open. Boogie/Ben/whatever top 5 pick next year is a good base.

Baffled that Nick Young is 6'7". He plays like he's 6'0".

Actually, the fact that he is 6'7" is part of why he thinks he can get away with shooting so many contested fadeaways

A few things,
One...You said "I don't know if you're stanning OJ Mayo or what" which implies that I'm stanning for OJ. OJ's my guy around these parts but I have never ever stanned for him. Ironically, you called Beal, who's SIX GAMES INTO HIS SOPHOMORE SEASON an ELITE shooter but i'm stanning? Yikes
And you can watch OJ, Beal, Klay, or Ben Mac, and literally see the similarities. This discussion is about those guys though, it's about OJ and beal. I showed you statisically, why they are exactly alike. If you disagree then fine, ( I don't know how) but there's nothing to stan about in this case
And I don't know how often you pay attention to NBA players, but for the most part they work their ***** off. This is their job that they have to support themselves and their families with. Do you really think they aren't working hard as hell on their ballhandling? I've seen personally juice working hours upon hours on ballhandling up at SC. It's a trait that you can get slightly better at, but by the time one is 18, 19 years old you are kind of stuck with who you are. Of course you cited Kevin Durant though as an example of disproving this though right
And I'm done after this but all I was trying to say is that OJ and Beal play just alike and use the same weapon(s) to be effective. Beal is being highly touted for his scoring prowess but all I'm saying is that unless he expands his scoring arsenal and gets to the free throw line more, his fate is more likely OJ Mayo's than Ray Allen, except OJ is a bit better then him as a playmaker and ballhandler, traits that are very hard to become better at.
and
You're blind if you can't see that they are just alike.
Okay, if you wanna say they're similar right now that's fine. I was just pointing out the difference between Beal as a 'prospect' and Mayo as a 'prospect'..
Obviously he's not there yet, I'm just saying that the tools are there for him. Of course he has more work to do, on Wizards blogs/messageboards the main thing people talk about wanting to see from him is improvement on ballhandling and creating his own shot. His turnovers are high right now because he's handling the ball a lot more than he had in the past (similar to how Oladipo has high TOs at the moment), if that doesn't go down over time it will be a troubling trend. But the most promising thing about him is the pure jumpshot + bball IQ. Not trying to sound like a stan but even opposing commentators (sometimes when I stream Wiz games I get the other team's broadcast) frequently comment on how much he reminds them of Ray Allen because of his ability to move without the ball and score within the flow of the offense.
Repping you, good points made and good discussion.

Don't forget 'Steez' aka Jordan CrawfordSwaggy P + Dre + JaVale = entertainment for days
Dunking on Lebron changed the path of his life forever. Once thought to be a 'decent' scoring prospect with a moderate amount of upside in the NBA, that fateful day at Nike camp imbued him with the reincarnated spirit of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. No shot was too tough for Steez, no moment too big. Jacking contested fadeaway jumpers early in the shotclock became a way of life.

The Kings should have drafted Noel to play alongside Cousins. They need an all-defense type of guy that isn't gonna demand touches on offense next to him or he's never gonna fully work out. Wiggins or Parker would both just be more guys that are gonna want to score the ball. They should go for Embiid if they get a pick outside the top 3.
