Let's talk about how Andrew TWiggins is the next Harrison Barnes

Wiggins advanced stats as a freshman: http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/kansas/andrew-wiggins


Gay's advanced stats as a freshman: http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/connecticut/rudy-gay



So despite the fact Wiggins was hyped to be the next LeBron, his production in college suggest he's the next Rudy Gay. Their stats mirror each other than the fact Gay's FG% (46%) is much better than Wiggins (43% ) and Wiggins gets to the line as a freshman better than Gay his first year. (Gay also excelled at blocking shots but I'll let that slide as an anomaly)

Rebound rate
Assist rate
Offensive rating
True Shooting %

... are all damn near identical. Yeeeeet, I'm sure many of you will ignore the stats and continue to think Wiggins is something he's not (superstar potential ), but hey, I can't help you there. Both players have +size and athleticism but lack ball handling, agility, and +shooting ability to maxmize their physical gifts and be true franchise players at the next level.

To my real basketball fans, now dap me

Fitting first response.

Silent is the greatest form of flattery. Remember that

Hes a less athletic Rudy Gay

I didn't watch Rudy Gay in college to make a judgment about the comparison. However, just because Rudy Gay doesn't live up to his potential doesn't mean Wiggins won't. I guess we're going to have to wait and see.

Nikkas mad at me for posting facts

Gay is at the NBA level exactly what he was in college. LMAO @ you acting like he's was supposed to be anything more

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Wiggins isnt as explosive as Ruday Gay is/was. Ive seen Wiggins get shut down this year and look lost at times

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

Yall keep saying they said he'd be the next Lebron when they said he was the best SINCE Lebron

I dont even think thats true but theres a difference

Well, Wiggins is supposed to be more. We'll have to see what his work ethic is when it comes to improving his game

When reading this, I felt like you just typed in Google "Rudy Gay stats freshman season" with your mind already made up that you were gonna try and mirror his stats to Wiggins, regardless of what the stats said...

That said, Wiggins has definitely not lived up to the hype.

I can see this turning out to be true. Gay was hot and cold in college

Who cares what he was hyped to be? Stats don't lie
