this is the only question we need to ask right now
wiggins averaged 17 in college, can that translate to 26 in the league?
we are basically valuing wiggins potential againt current Love
love is 26,12 and 4
while wiggins is MUCH better defensively, the difference between wiggins and love defensively is negated by Love's rebounding and passing advantage
So much better rebounding and passing = much better defense
so the only thing left to look at is ppg
Love is at 26, can wiggins reach it?
imo no, considering wiggins is still unpolished and cant create his shot
If Paul George "the next superstar" cant even crack 24, what chance does wiggins?
heck 26 is only 1 ppg less than "scoring machine" Carmelo and LeBron
imo current love > prime wiggins

Love shot better from the field, 3p line, and averaged more APG than Wiggins, all in less MPG and 5 less shots per game.

people are forgetting love got MUCH better once he was in the league
Rookie year dude was like 13/7
then he lost 20 pounds, got quicker, got a deadly jumper and turned into a beast
can you guys envision wiggins improving by that much?

considering people like yourself say:
-no handle
-no shot
-no passing ability
-no killer instinct
I'd say yeah, he has even more room to improve.

are you asking for a prediction?
Kevin Love had the same stats and dropped weight and magically scored 9 more ppg.
Wiggins can improve on so many facets of his game, that actually makes his ceiling higher.

Literally a day ago you were trashing Kevin Love and saying you wouldn't mind if the Cavs kept Wiggins.

26 ppg on a bottom feeder team is worth nothing, if we were talking 30+ then maybe... wiggins on the wolves as a rookie would average 20+ easily

Regular season scoring is overrated. The last player to lead the NBA in regular season scoring and win an NBA title was Shaq back in 2000 (I think).

Westbrook's career high in 2 years of College was 22 points.
In the NBA he's averaging 23 points a game and dropping 40+ points in the WCF and Finals.

Wiggins will be in time, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets over 20 as a rookie at Minnesota, especially with Rubio feeding it to him.

Don't see why not. That depends entirely on him. All the greats worked to improve.
>Kobe started working with the Dream.
>Ditto Lebron to work on his post moves-- now he's a well rounded scorer.
>Jordan (according to PJ), was not a good shooter or originally good defender.
Playing outstanding defense didn't come automatically to him, either. He had to study his opponents, learn their favorite moves and then dedicate himself to learning the techniques necessary to stop them. He's worked extremely hard to perfect his footwork and his balance.
If he works at it he'll do it.
