I'd still be wary taking him at #1. But then, I'd be wary taking Embiid or Parker at this point with #1, for now, I'd almost be happier getting #2 so I didn't have to make the decision.

You didn't factor in the 11 more seconds on the shot clock into your math.

It is about possessions, not game clock.

However, the fact that 2 assists was a team high, might just have something to do with the fact that they lost ...

Put it this way, you are happy if your #2 in college averages about 13-15 ppg. #1 about 16+. Especially on good teams where there's obviously more balanced scoring. The leading scorer on non shitty conference teams is TJ Warren of NC State and he averages 24. And he does that as practically the only offensive option on his team.

Number one pick, easily.

Wiggins has potential, but it's just one game. Any player can explode for one game. His season as a whole has been unimpressive. You could argue he should be the #1 pick based on potential, but it's not easy and I'd take Embiid and Parker over him. I think his potential is overrated.

Look at what high level talents have done in their first year in college:

Durant:........................26/11 on 47/40
Carmelo:.....................22/10 on 45/34
Griffin (first year):........15/9 on 57%
Davis:..........................14/10/5 on 62% plus great defense
Love:...........................18/11 on 56%

Wiggins:.......................16/6 on 44/34 (will increase some after today though)


The impact is just not there. I just can't see him making just a huge leap from that to NBA superstar at any point in the future.

Why are you comparing bigmen to a wing? Durant and Melo are fine, but seriously Kevin Love with Andrew Wiggins? :wtf: That's like saying Embiid isn't legit because he's not putting up the same stats as John Wall did.

Also Wiggins is a 2/3. Closest is Durant on that list, and they are different prospects. Durant was an offensive machine. Wiggins is known to be a defensive machine who needs to improve offensively.

This. Plus, those guys didn't play in the same system. College stats are irrelevant anyways. For instance, MJ put up 13.5 ppg 4.4 rpg 1.8 apg on 53% shooting as a freshman, the hell are people judging players based on their college stats?

Paul George only averaged 14/4 his first year in college, 17/7 in his second. MJ only averaged 14/4 his first year. Some people are more developed than others, doesnt mean they'll be better in the future.

I don't expect a wing to have the same stats as a big man, but wing players have their own statistically impressive lines like Durant and Melo in college and Wiggin's are really lacking in that department and even in HS he was criticized for blending into many games making little impact. I posted all of those players to show impact in general. Durant's and Melo's college performances show impact even when compared to big men while Wiggins doesn't.

16/6 on 44/34 is blah no matter what position you are unless you are talking about a role player.

Here are some first year SG performances in college:

Harden: 18-5-3-2 on 53/41
Wade: 18-7-3.5-2.5-1 on 49/35

Wiggins: 16-6-2-1-1 on 44/34

Not comparing Wiggins to MJ btw.
And some players have an easier time adapting to the NBA level than to the college level. His primary scoring will be coming from drives, and the smaller court/less spacing in the college game seems to be affecting him a little bit because his handles and ball security aren't quite robust yet. He gets stripped quite a bit, and often times you see he feels a little trapped at the elbows with nowhere to go because there are too many players around him. The NBA game will open up those opportunities more for him.

From what I see from his game, he's going to average slightly more points in his rookie year in the NBA (18/19 ppg), but on very poor shooting (about 41%). Despite his athleticism, he's not a great finisher, and actually misses a lot of shots at the basket. He also makes some questionable decisions going to the basket, opting to shoot straight into a defender rather than slip around and lay it in.

His shot is also very streaky. Today and against Florida he would hit like 3 straight tough jumpers in a row to attempt to bring his team back, but he'll have games where his shot is very off, and he might end up with like 7 points on 2-9 shooting. This type of inconsistency isn't representative of the type of player he can become. He seems to only play well when his team needs it, and also if the other players are feeding him the ball, otherwise he just stands around waiting for stuff to happen instead of making it happen. Even in this game he didn't really start forcing the issue till his team was down by like 20. He needs to provide a consistent effort throughout the game and in all games. Like Milbuck said, his next game he might put up single digits (actually quite likely) given his struggles with consistency.

I'm not sure if it's the coaching or his mental game, but something needs to get him to play to his potential on a nightly basis if he is to ever become a star (and even superstar) in the NBA.

If Wiggins ends up only as good as Paul George then he will end up being a huge bust.

Paul George in college went 14/6/2/2/1 on 47/44 which is similar but better than Wiggin's performance simply because of the 47/44 vs 44/34.....but Paul George is 23 and is putting up 22/6.5/3.5 on 43/37 in his 4th year in the NBA. He is not even a star. Honestly from what I have seen from Wiggins in HS and college I expect a Paul George caliber player.

MJ is just an anomaly and at least he shot 53.5% in his first year.

My point was that you simply can't compare college stats. There have been plenty of great college players that never even make it to the NBA. College stats are irrelevant. Wiggins is a top prospect for a reason.

Adam Morrison averaged 28 ppg in college, he was a scrub in the NBA.

[Twiens]

Wiggins would easily average 20+ if he ended up at FSU though. This system is built completely around the post....Wiggins is basically a spot up shooter in self's system. He'll be an animal in the NBA.

Great college players becoming busts in the NBA is another story. That is common. I am not arguing against that.

But with Wiggins its a completely different thing- it would be a mediocre college player turning into a superstar in the NBA (and that is very very rare). Even a mediocre college player turning into a star is rare.

[secund2nun]

I can't believe anyone takes the guy seriously. If Wiggins ends up as good as Paul George he's a huge bust! LMAO

Yes he would be based on the hype and expectations Wiggins has received and still continues to receive. Wiggins is the most hyped and anticipated prospect since Lebron.

This thread is like the Paul George thread from November-December all over again. Posters are going crazy prematurely over a short stretch (in this case 1 game). I remember I got blasted for saying Paul George is not a top 10 player in the league.

[secund2nun]

This guy gets it. Wiggins could take over against any team if he was used in the way that benefited him the most, he's by far the most talented player in the NCAA right now.


Wiggins had the same disappearing in high school as well, so it can't be blamed on his college system.

[Lamar Odumbb]

:applause: he'll look good in a Lakers uniform. Only thing that concerns me about the kid is his motor.

His only weakness is his personality. I believe the NFL and some other sports use or have used an expert to determine winners from losers using some personality or demeanor traits and Wiggins seems to lack them. I mean look at Kobe and Lebron as 18 year olds, they were cocky as hell. Wiggins has the Kwame Brown and Elden Campbell laid back attitude, which Paul George also seems to have.

Your simply can't just compare college stats. Wiggins outplayed Parker h2h when he locked him down in the 2nd half and scored like 3-4 consecutive buckets in the clutch to win the game. & he just had 24 points in one half today.

Didn't miss layups? this game was prototypical of how he scores. Jumpers and free throws with the occasional floater/dunk while missing shots near the basket. Obviously this was his best game so he didn't miss many, but even in this thread supporters are citing the fact that he doesn't finish well and is inconsistent.

He finishes at a sub 40% clip all year long, and then manage to play a spectacular game scoring the ball.

What does this say about his finishing ability. Here are two choices for you:

1) Wiggins has finally become an elite finisher
2) Wiggins played the best game of his college career, but his finishing ability is still as bad as his last 25+ games.

derozan was worst over all but look at derozan now.. Afflalo was just a good jumpshooter and an average defender back in college afflalo stayed longer in college and it took him a good amount of experience in the NBA to be the player he is now. i think you are being unfair thinking that wiggins = lebron .. they are not the same player. wiggins is not durant as well..

Wiggins will be wiggins in his own right . even terence ross scored 51 points in the nba ... how is that possible? ross in college is just a highlight reel .

nothing impressive about a college player showing up once every blue moon. Embiid is the only sure thing on the sorry draft.

Your simply can't just compare college stats. Wiggins outplayed Parker h2h when he locked him down in the 2nd half and scored like 3-4 consecutive buckets in the clutch to win the game. & he just had 24 points in one half today.

You can compare college stats. You can't take them as everything, but they need to be at least good to be a NBA star, let alone a NBA superstar. The chances of a 16/6 44/34 player in college become a NBA superstar is almost impossible. The odds are stacked against him becoming a star as well. How's a kid who is shooting 44/34 in college gonna be a star in the NBA? 44/34 is mediocre in the NBA let alone in college and it's not like he is playing well in the other aspects of the game either.

derozan was worst over all but look at derozan now.. Afflalo was just a good jumpshooter and an average defender back in college afflalo stayed longer in college and it took him a good amount of experience in the NBA to be the player he is now. i think you are being unfair thinking that wiggins = lebron .. they are not the same player. wiggins is not durant as well..

Wiggins will be wiggins in his own right . even terence ross scored 51 points in the nba ... how is that possible? ross in college is just a highlight reel .
Exactly. Players improve and I do see Wiggins improving throughout his NBA career. I'm only commenting on the present though,

empty stats
you need to watch the game before saying that. Andrew wiggins:bowdown:

Westbrook averaged 12/4 in college. Rose averaged 14/5/5.

from behind 3 pt line to the rim in just 2 steps

No killer instinct, plays within the team concept too much, can't create for others. Not seeing the hype.

That said, the box score is impressive, wish I'd seen the game.

Judging from this post you should edit it and say you wish you actually watching Wiggins in college this season. Its conference title week, tune in. Not too late to start watching him.

[GOBB]

noob cake is the same idiot who claims Jabari Parker is a better defender than Wiggins.


Future Tyreke Evans/Rudy Gay
nothing impressive about a college player showing up once every blue moon. Embiid is the only sure thing on the sorry draft.

Hyped up players is all. ncaa is boring so they have to hype these scrubs

He has a better jumper entering the draft than Tyreke Evans had. So I fail to see the "future" Evans remark. He's also a better perimeter defender than either player were in college or the pros. Granted thats a bit much to say given he hasnt defended anyone in the NBA. But I doubt he suddenly stops playing stellar defense as he has this season. Thanks for the misinformed post. :cheers:

Wow. He looks like a long jumper here....effortless.

[JohnFreeman]

Embiid >

[JimmyMcAdocious]

He runs like a 6-7 Darren Collison.

I wonder how much weight he's going to be able put on those shoulders.

[Budadiiii]

After seeing his parents I have to say he will be a success in the NBA.

His mom was very athletic and has that natural poise. He will succeed because of his mothers' genetics.

:applause:

[BoutPractice]

That dunk was something else.

There's something a bit eerie in the idea that in what looks to be a potentially game changing draft, both the Lakers and the Celtics could have a top pick... It's a funny coincidence at least.
