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

[Swagnificent]

As Freshmen:


Wiggins: 55% true shooting %

Barnes: 52% true shooting %


Wiggins: 1 outta every 3.2 shots is a 3 pointer

Barnes: 1 outta every 2.5 shots is a 3 pointer


Wiggins 3 point%: 36%

Barnes 3 point%: 34%



What the numbers say here is, considering these two guys are elite 6'8 physical specimens, that they still prefer to sit on the perimeter and shoot jumpers. Numbers don't lie.

Wiggins may have a marginally higher overall ceiling than Barnes but Barnes has him beat in frame and low post potential. Both those aspects translate at the next level.

I guess your too lazy to watch the games and just post stats. Since your such a stats guy, I'm guessing you think Doug McDerrmott is gonna be the next Larry Bird?

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.
