Time to make fun of Wiggins now?

[Inferno]

Since we're all fans of overreacting, Wiggins just went 1-6 and scored 4 points.

[LeGOAT]

Wiggins isn't that good

[FreezingTsmoove]

They froze him out for long stretches. His pg passed him up for a white guard for the game winner. They gave him no shots

[TheReal Kendall]

It's only right since y'all bashed Parker for his bad game

[MP.Trey]

1/6 :roll:
just playing the part

[Kujo]

Wiggins will be better in the NBA, but I'm not seeing a franchise player. I'm not seeing any sort of killer, take over the game, will. He's too passive.

[Heavincent]

I don't like ripping on college kids because they don't get paid, but I don't really see what all the hoopla was about. At this very moment, he's just another athletic wing player with a relatively limited skill set, in the same vein as Jeff Green, Gerald Green, Harrison Barnes, etc.

[Qwyjibo]

Only the idiots make fun of players based on one game.

Like Parker, this game will have zero effect on Wiggins' draft stock. Still top 3 guaranteed.

Absolutely. This is a no brainer.

That being said, do you think Wiggin's is a franchise altering player?

Honestly he hasn't seem that great all season. He might slightly be better than Harrison Barnes.

I'm a Marcus Smart guy. Dude can ball.

[ImKobe]

One game doesn't change anything.

Prime Lebron had 8 points in 45 minutes in a Finals game

[Miller for 3]

:confusedshrug:

People have fluke games. Durant's second game of the year he scored liek 13 against the Jazz. Lebron scored 61 in a game against the below .500 Bobcats. Julius Randle was awful in most of SEC play. Parker was crap from the 3pt line outside of his first 6 games. Embiid put up 0 points and 0 boards in that same game. All of the prospects have issues. Wiggins is going to be like prime Luol Deng with a better jumper :bowdown:

[Joyner82reload]

LOL @ these clowns being compared to Durant at one point. Durant averaged 29 and 9 in the NCAA tournament.

[Qwyjibo]

That being said, do you think Wiggin's is a franchise altering player?
No idea. His offense off the dribble needs to improve greatly for him to be a perennial All-Star type. He needs to be much better at breaking guys down in the half-court to get to the rim and draw fouls. In the NCAA, there isn't as much of an opportunity for guys to do that. Everything else, he either has or should naturally improve with experience.

Wiggins at 19 > Anyone other prospect at the same age in the past 25 years

Bill Self is an idiot, he had no idea how to use a player the caliber of Wiggins.

He's a top 3 pick. So you judging him off of one game really. You are a ****ing idiot. The guy is still learning and is going to get better than he already is now.

Lets put it this way, Wiggins wouldn't get swept by the Spurs in 07

But he would get knocked out by Stanford in the second round :lol

His lack of aggression what is what frustrated me the most watching him. Jabari Parker, who does have a more polished game, would try to take over games (for better or worse). You rarely saw that with Wiggins, save for those monsters games he had at the end of the season when Embid got hurt.

That being said, he does have a bigger upside than Parker imho. If works on the things you outlined, plus he get's stronger, sky's the limit. His outside shot is still work a in progress as well.

[IncarceratedBob]

Okay we're gonna blame Wiggins when he has the 6th highest usage rate on this team? He's being utilized as a role player. Shit at least homie could get into college unlike LeBron

He was being used like that because he was shook and is a shitty ball handler

[IncarceratedBob]

He was shook all season? Dumbass. This isn't a new thing, Self doesn't like showcasing a single player. He would much rather lose as a team than win with hero ball. Wiggins is a shitty ball handler? Since when? :lol I've seen every Kansas game this year bud, Wiggins can handle the rock.

[aburre21]

nah bro...they hardly run plays for him. Watch Creighton and watch how many sets they run for mcdermott to get him open shots. Kansas did not use him like he was a star

He is not comparable to Lebron is anyway besides being 6' 8" and athletic. Lebron was on a different level

carmelo durant lebron ai even oden says hi

[Wally450]

Wiggins will be the best player of this draft class. Hopefully the Celtics can get him.

:roll:

He has been underwhelming all season long. He is not even a top 2 prospect in his class THIS YEAR let alone the best prospect in the past 25 years. He is the most overrated prospect in the past 25 years though.

[Orlando Magic]

Wiggins at 19 > Anyone other prospect at the same age in the past 25 years

No, idiot. Shaq was the most NBA ready player EVER at 19 and LeBron would have been a close second had he made it to 19... Wiggins will NEVER reach the level of either of those guys... and that's not an insult, but don't say he's the best prospect at 19 ever... because that's straight up bullshit.

Someone post the Shaq laughing uncontrollably gif.

his choice, too passive

[Milbuck]

Looks like a solid 10th man on a lottery team in the D-League. Probably has a solid career with Olympiacos, becomes another one of Vassilis's childhood idols.

[longtime lurker]

Yes Wiggins is horrible, definitely will slip out of the draft completely :rolleyes:

Spanoulis would be a top 3 pick in this year's draft
If we were picking Greek players only

And Lebron at the same age was 10 times the player though...

By the time the MDMA wears off this guys is going to have a heck of a hangover

[senelcoolidge]

In a good draft he would not be a lottery pick. He's inconsistent, has a low motor, and hasn't proven anything. He's athletic I guess. He's got potential, but come on a top 3 pick. Just shows how the NBA product as fallen.

[wildchild]

Next Jordan? nah... probably the next Lebron.

[Andrei89]

Next Jordan? nah... probably the next Lebron.


And that would be bad? How?

:roll: :roll: :roll:

[Sarcastic]

The whole draft class is overrated as fck. It's better than last year's, but it's not gonna be some big time game changer like everyone has been saying.

Gonna be hilarious when this kid becomes one of the greatest players ever and everyone hops on the bandwagon.

[midatlantic09]

I honestly don't think that will happen. The guy is extremely passive, lacks the hunger that superstar NBA players have, and doesn't seem like much of a leader. As far as his skills go, the guy has shakey handles, a shakey jumper, and can't do much offensively other than score in transition, drive to the basket, get a tip-in/put back, or occasionally hit a spot up jumper.

That said, he'll probably be a decent NBA player, but unless something changes, there's no way he's going to end up in the same category as Lebron, Durant, Kobe, etc.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Durant was averaging 25/11 as a college freshman on a better fg% than Wiggins. Wiggins was not a top 20 player in college hoops this year.

Is he athletic? Sure. Could he be an all-star in the NBA? Definitely. Is he a Durant/Davis/Griffin potential MVP type? Hell no. The comparisons to LeBron look pretty stupid at this point. But considering Anthony Bennett was the first overall pick last year he doesn't look all that bad.
