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

[Loose]

Considering he's the best prospect since Lebron he should easily outpace Durants season at Texas right?

he'll be playing for Bill Self. Who's gonna feed him that rock? At least Durant had DJ Augustin

We will have to see in college. I remember Myck Kabongo was supposed to be a lottery pick coming out of high school. Dude end up undrafted this year.

 

[ikbm]

been saying this...every year there is a dude with a highlight type that is hyped to the heavens before he actually gets to the NCAA.

Michael Beasley
OJ Mayo
Josh Selby
Bill Walker
Greg Oden (not saying the potential wasnt there)
Austin Rivers
Brandon Knight
Shabazz Mohammed
John Wall
shyt even Samardo Samuels at one point am I wrong?


Some of these players are OK, one of em is good and most of em are average at best/doodoo. That being said I hope Wiggins really is the real deal. He's had the most hype since the years Durant/Rose came out and I aint gonna act like I've been following enough to know more than the "experts". John Wall is the only player close to have this much hype out of HS recently.

are any of these players even close to the physical specimen andrew wiggins is right now...even in their primes?
let alone his skill level for an 18 year old
the only feasible way wiggins is a bust is if his knees turn to dust

nikkas was hyping up Myck Kabongo like crazy like he was the 2nd coming.

Fight me Tremont. Selden will be a star in the L too.

I like Arron Gordon better. I do see wiggins now ask being like Lebron at 18:

Gifted athletically and talented but not very skilled yet.

 

[CuzTheyKnowMe]

lmao people already treating him like the definite #1 pick.

Look what happened to sha-fail muhammad.

Wiggins actually has to do well in college, or else guys like julius randle, aaron gordon, jabari parker, marcus smart, the harrison twins, ect easily can be taken over him

So none of Randle,Parker,Smart has to do well in college just Wiggins ? smh

 

[DeVanteSwing]

Gerald Green 2.0??

cant wait to bump thread in 3 years

 

[TrillSwag]

Lebron was not as athletic as Wiggins in high school. Wiggins is already getting his head at the rim on dunks at 17. Bron was not.

 

[Swagnificent]

exactly.i see him averaging bout 15 a game

he good but cmon dey tryna compare bron

lol if bron woulda went to college nikka would averaged 30 out the gate easily

Durant averaged nearly 30ppg in one season of college basketball. If Wiggins is as good as people say he is, he should average minimum 23ppg next year in college.

 

[Miggs]

This!!
I totally agree, Randle I think will be the best prospect out of this class, Webber/Derrick Coleman like. I think Wiggins will be good, Im more impressed with his defense prowess, as I know he will be a defensive beast, I think he will be more Pippen(focus on great defense, ok offense) rather than Jordan( great offense or defense).

lol Pippen is a HOFer...HE wont be the GOAT he'll just be a multi time all star with rings,All NBA 1st defender and a HOFer

He went to a dysfunctional program that depresses your offensive production. That's what happened to Shabazz. If Wiggins played under Howland he'd averaged 14 and 5.

I totally agree, Pippen was favorite player on the Bulls, but he doesn't get his proper respect because he was never a top notch scorer. Plus he was never hands down ever the best player in NBA(although Top 5 at few points) like people are predicting with Wiggins.
