I fukks with him on the strength of tonite. The shots not falling tonite and he still out there working, making winning plays. And he didn't shy away from the basketball. Took the 3 pointer like a young Bean.

He's got heart breh. Airballs a 3..still takes the game tying shot.

Bill lost this game.

3 losses to the top 5..Continue on with the agenda though.
I know he hurt but low key, Black been better than Joel bout the last 3-5 games. Selden is the one who needs to stay an extra year. Homie is just too inconsistent and doesn't seem to get into the flow of the game at all when his shot ain't falling. He has been the most disappointing. At least Wiggs is getting his averages even on off nights. Mason too erratic. Slow it down style is killing him too. I'd kill just for once to see a Tharpe/Mason, Selden, Greene, Wiggs, and PE line up just once and let them run, run, run but it'll never happen

Duke moved up 6 rankings after they lost, because it was a close game. I expect Kansas to move up a couple spots after this one.

:dahell:

Duke had recently been beating everyone by double digits....then lost by 2 points in OT to the #2 ranked team at Syracuse....

Kansas lost to....Kansas St :mjlol:

Wiggins when he fails will be just the beginning of the no canadian movement.These niccas ain't worth shyt in the L. Bennett,Twiggins,Thompson. Nash is cool with me but the rest of these foreigners :camby:

Give it up hell NEVER be a superstar :laff: he had all last summer to work on his weaknesses knowing he was the number 1 pick and he comes back the exact same player he was when he left highschool :laff:


@Eye Cue 182 is spot on with this thread, hes already a bust and shows no work ethic

The NBA should increase the time you need to stat in college. That one and done shyt is hurting the league, Wiggins is going to be a dope prospect but homie need that time to refine his fame more.

While i agree hes overrated and the Lebron/Kobe comaprsions were assinine hes not close to them as prospects at the same age i still think this whole judging players nba potential on college stats is foolish

And dont get me started on advanced stats,on their draft board Jordan Adms is #1 because he gets steals and gets to the foul line :laff:

shyt like that is why Chris Grant was fired

I don't think they're assinine if we're talking about the level of player he can become. I think he can be an all-time great and be the best player in the league for 5 years. His game just isn't similar to Lebron or Kobe which is why the comparisons are faulty. But I think he has that potential. The guy has the body and athleticism of a young Michael Jordan. He's just really raw right now. Once he tightens his handle and improves his strength to finish through contact, he'll be a BEAST.

I can see him becoming Paul George in 2 years. Averaging 24ppg, 6rpg, 3apg with lockdown all-nba 1st team defense. Which isn't bad for a 20 year old. Then once he becomes better at facilitating, I could see him becoming a Kobe level talent by age 25 putting up 28ppg, 6rpg, 5apg with lockdown defense.

The sky is the ceiling for him. I really like his game the more I watch.

I think the energy wing ala Shawn Marion is the best role for Wiggins. In a run and gun system like the current Phoenix Suns, he can cause some damage as a hybrid PF

What ya''ll think?

that is basically Wiggins floor. if he doesn't improve any of what he is now, the worst he can be is Shawn Marion. and that speaks to how great a prospect he is. that at his worst he can be a multiple time all-star.

his second jump is so lighting quick. you saw that on full display when he missed the game-tying layup and followed it up with the tip-in. his first step is incredible. once he tightens his handle and gains some strength so he can muscle through contact, he'll be a beast. I already like his ability to catch and shoot.

I can't believe people are questioning Wiggins pro potential. If you can get your heads outta the box scores and actually watch his games, you'll see that his skills are made for the NBA.

#1 pick right there

Sorry but the highest Parker goes is #4. I like his game and think he'll be a superstar on the next level, but there are two sides of the ball and right now Parker is a liability if he's asked to guard NBA wings. Embiid, Wiggins, and Exum have great potential to be dynamic two-way players. Parker doesn't. Which is why I wouldn't take him above them eventhough I love his game on offense.
