#5 vs. #4.....#1 vs. #2....The Official Kansas (Wiggins) vs. Duke (Parker) Thread

What most don't realize is scoring without the game is a skill and shows high offensive BBIQ to put yourself in the right position which Wiggins did time and time again. There was a time when a lot of ppl called Lebron and Durant overrated. Ppl will talk.

last night wiggins made maybe two superstar potential plays, the step back jumper which was cool and the spin from the 3pt line that he ended up getting fouled on. outside of that he failed to create his own shot on any other attempt. wiggins can either become demar derozan or tmac. i'm not sure this is the type of player you take at #1 if he continues playing like this. i wish him the best though
The Parker vs Wiggins stanwar
He was exposed. His athleticism is incredible but his lack of skill is apparent. He lacks elite ball handling and a jump shot. He can't break his man off the dribble one on one. He gets most of points from fastbreaks, free throws, or broken plays. Outside of that spinning layup he does when he gets in the paint and that one step back jumper, I didn't see anything that impressed me.
I'd take Parker and Randle over him in a heart beat. I need to see this Exum guy play but if he's a young Penny as some draft sites are saying, then I'd take him as well over Wiggins.

This is going to be Lebron vs Melo all over again. You had people arguing Melo over Lebron, because he was more polished offensively and Lebron at the time didn't have a jumpshot. 2 years later is was clear to everyone Bron was the better player. My money is on Wiggins being the better player in the long run.

A big part of the problem is having thornton start over sulaimon. Start your best 5 coach K, not this glue guy shyt. And parker had plenty of size to guard ellis, but he kept fronting him and emibiid going for steals instrad of banging. They got so many easy layups and dunks off of bad fronting and poor rotation from the other bigs which led to easy layups and dunks. I would have liked to see plumlee get some burn against embiid, murphy needed some more burn to guard wiggins rather than fukking tyler thornton in the post. Sulaimon or matt jones should have been guarding selden/wiggins as well, and once again not fukking tyler thornton. I also think rodney hood can play some point forward, he can handle and has great vision. He needs to be more assertive for his own offense though. Parker is an eleite offense player, but late in that 2nd half his shot selection was poor. Last but not least, MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS nikkaS...that was duke's game if they could hit their free throws at a better clip. Can't wait to see what both of these teams look like in a few months. It's still way to early in the season for me to fully enjoy these type of matchups. Right now I think michigan state and arizona would beat every team that played tonite.
The hate in here for Wiggins is so illogical its funny....He rebounded depsite missing half the 1st...he made good cuts to the basket,he was posting up smaller guys when he had smaller defenders,he was defending,he was altering shots...he used athleticism on the break which athletes are supposed to do,had efficient numbers YET yall wanna tell me he didnt do shyt and aint shyt....I cant take ur opinions seriously if you didnt see why hes clearly the No 1 regarded player....he showed all the tools in that second half...
Bottom line......one player had an outstanding first half while the other one didn't, one player had an outstanding second half while the other one didn't.
Y'all figure out which is which.
Wiggins gave them clutch buckets in Parker's hometown. OVO Wiggins with that ether.
