Nov. 12, 2013 game thread: Kansas vs Duke

He's an elite rebounder as well.

Needs to improve his jump shot and free throw shooting. That comes with time.

You can't teach his size, athleticism, and finishing ability. He has great potential on D as well.

Superstar.

Am I missing something here?

Wiggins looks good but not that good. He hit a stepback then got fouled on an open dunk?

Parker looks like Melo.

No matter who goes #1, the future of the NBA is in good hands with Wiggins, Parker, and Randle.

Terrific post.

Parker is Melo 2.0 at best. Wiggins is a legitimate superstar.

Wiggins will be a better fit in the NBA. Expect to see him guarded by smaller players A LOT this year. It will limit his creating off the dribble.

[TheReal Kendall]

Yeah there's nothing better than watching a bunch of one dimensional players shoot 3s all game with maybe one legit big on the court at a time.

Would you watch the NBA if all the best players changed leagues every year?

The NBA is a 3fest now.

They baby the superstars and call touch fouls also.

I liked the physical play of the college game but now it's gone.

I never liked that one and done rule either

How much do you need to see that he's a great player, it's not hard to notice. He probably would have had 30 if not for the fouls

[RoseCity07]

Why did they interview the coach. I could give a shit what he has to say. He wasn't dunking all over Duke tonight. Get Wiggins up there.

This is 1 game. But you can see the potential. He was in foul trouble and didn't play nearly as good as he is capable of.

Just sit back and watch the freshman sensation butt **** the college word and go #1. The hype is deserved. I'm never wrong about these things, he will be a superstar.

I was thinking the same thing about Melo/Parker. Though, Parker looks a bit more committed on the defensive end already... which tells me -- considering his athleticism -- he may have the potential to be a Melo-like offensive talent but with the defense to go with it. That would be a major superstar.

Wiggins' upside is what makes him so intriguing. He's not as refined as Parker yet, but he's already able to put up 25/10 while in foul trouble against an elite collegiate team. That tells you all you need to know.

Right now, I do think Parker is the better player. You don't draft for right now, though.

I'm willing to bet Wiggins blows the combine out of the water. He's a physical freak.

This. Except i'm not sure Parker is better right now.

GM's wish the draft was tomorrow


The King has spoken. Judging by the timing of that tweet he was impressed by my boy AW

Right now, I think it's Wiggins and Randle, followed pretty closely by Parker. The x-factor is Exum, who also has an argument as the best player in this draft if he chooses to enter it.

What a class this will be. There will be some incredibly difficult decisions at the top of the board. Sort of makes me want the Cavs to tank again.

Yeah for sure. Should be an exciting season for college hoops as well. Last year was lame. Boring as hell.

Indeed. Can't remember the last time I was excited for college hoops.

All the top teams are stacked. Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan St, Louisville.

Wow... and we get to watch all these young studs develop...

March Madness will be orgasmic this year
