I don't get the Andrew Wiggins hype...

[Malta]

This is the other All-American going to Kansas, if he has a good season he'll be a top 5 pick if you just look at how teams are valuing the 6'4" combo guard (Waiters, Smart, Oladipo etc). Everyone wants the next Westbrook.



Elite handle, 210-220lbs and 6'5"

This is what I am talking about. That skill set is something else. Julius Randle is just . With his talent and that mean streak, he's looking like an angry Antoine Walker/Derrick Coleman.

Stop hyping up Selden Malta...I'm praying we keep him for 2 years. Coach Self says he's been a beast so far in the summer scrimmages.

No, Wiggins couldn't average 20 and 5 straight out of HS, there's only 1 person that put up that line coming out of HS.

Bron was 245lbs when he hit the league, only Ron Artest was bigger than him at the 3, dude is an anomaly.

but kemba walker avg 17 and 4 this year stop it breh. I know you want to ride lbj but this aint your fathers nba. I'm not saying he could or couldn't avg 20 and 5 but its not a reach its better than you saying for a fact he couldn't if he pans out.

Damien Lilliard this year rookie Avg 19
Kyrie Irving Rookie 18.5
Blake Griffin 22/ John Wall 16
Tyreke Evans 20
Oj Mayo 18

All in their rookie season its not a stretch breh 20ppg isn't that much on a bad team

Kemba wasn't a rookie this year and he's not 18, so what exactly is your point there?


And not one single person you listed was 18 years old straight out of HS, how about you post HS to Pro numbers then that would be a better comparison than guys who had a year in college

He's 1 in done IMO, bringing him off the bench won't even stop scouts from liking him (Waiters was a 6th man).

Is wiggins coming straight out of high school when did the NBA allow that again My point about kemba walker is that he is on a bad team and avg 17 this year. Now you telling me wiggins doesn't have a chance to avg 20 and who was the last guy that had this much hype that was 6"8 with a handle out of high school.
And for your second argument look at kyrie irving 18ppg John wall 16ppg and Demarc Cousin 14ppg as one and done players out of high school

Woman lie Men lie numbers don't

What Malta is saying is Lebron was physically more nba ready at 18 then anyone. Lebron also had great passing skills in combination with great athleticism/size. Even if he never developed a decent jumper, Lebron was going to be a star. 6'8 with great court vision and very athletic.

Wiggins looks like a solid player. More athletic then Derozan was, and Derozan couldn't dribble with his left hand.

 

[tremonthustler1]

I don't think Wiggins is overrated. However, I think the following year's draft will be better.
Jahil Okafor and Karl Towns Jr.

Dominican Power

Hawks brehs, Love for Horford /2015 first unprotected?

 

[J-MIL]

Dude is too frail and his j is suspect. Lebronze j was too but he had pg handles and passing. Not to mention his body was nba ready

No way in hell that nikka could come out the gate avg. 20 and 5

 

[tremonthustler1]

I have no vested interest. Take your weird, tired shtick somewhere else.

You don't want it with me.

The kid looks good. I'm not sure he has the same development arc as Seventh... but Wiggins is the most well-rounded player in this class right now.


I guess I just don't know what the bar is for this conversation, is this one of those "if he ain't as nice as bron he ain't shyt" conversations?


Yes. You are very very wrong. Nobody on that list has been hyped anywhere near Wiggins, who has been the consensus no.1 player and pick for over two years now. He's a 6'8" wing who can handle, shoot and finish above everyone.

I get the reactionary "let's wait and see" - because OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE TO SEE HOW HE TURNS OUT - but let's not use that as a crutch, so that in 2 years you can up a thread and be like "see I said this high schooler wasn't shyt!"

It's all projection at this age.

And, Samardo Samuels?

I agree EXCEPT for John Wall. His hype machine was ridiculous. His FLOOR was supposed to be Derrick Rose.

 

[god shamgod]

Wiggins is all hype he has no skills at all.nikkas see a dude jumpin 40 inches and dunking and be tweaking.He's gerald green 2.0

I bet money parker,randle and gordon become better nba players

Except he's already outplayed most of those guys that you think are gonna be better than him in the league. He's one of the best scorers in his class & is the best defender.

 

[god shamgod]

Outplaying people in high school has absolutely nothing to do with how your game translates to the nba

Michael Beasley dominated college his freshman year and has been garbage in the nba
