Wiggins should have been able to skip straight to the league. College was just a waste of time for his game.

He could just develop in the D League with NBA level coaches. Why stay and compete in the NCAA for free? Talents like WIggins in the D league would force franchises to invest in it which benefits player development overall. Hockey, soccer and baseball all have great development pipelines. In hockey a player can be drafted onto a team and still play competitive minor league hockey. This greatly helps transition and overall development. It's only football and basketball which defer development to the NCAA, which itself is more about money and winning than true player development.

Wiggins will be fine in the NBA. He's more raw than some ppl give him credit for being. His ability to get the paint at will isn't quite there yet due to mental than physical which isn't what I like at all but we will see.

What is this 'talent' you speak of?

You fools still believe this guy is next up? OMFG... this place is comical. You nikkas stay hyping up set shooters who can't dribble and can't create off the bounce.

No wonder you clowns don't like D-Waiters. He's not pedestrian enough for you :laff: :laff: :laff:

Oklahoma State honestly doesn't have a non-center starter who is close to 6'8 and yet Wiggins can't effect/dominate the game.

What's he going to so in the league when he's facing that every night? Oh that's right, he's going to look Harrison Barnes just like the title of the thread says.

Is more than mental, dude. He's just not that skilled.

What's so hard to understand about this?

He can jump. Has a decent stroke. But he has NO HANDLE and doesn't like (or can't handle) contact.

That's a recipe for disaster as the next level.

He cant get there when he wants because his handle is weak.

His first step is rediculous so he can blow past people but right now hes just a straight line dribbler. He cant break his defender down off the dribble

Compare Paul George playing in a week conference to Wiggins in the big 12 where every conference game is like murderers row

Compare Wiggins in a Kansas structured non iso plays , non fast break system to Rudy gay under Jim calhoun
The conference wasn't weak that year.. We(fresno state) had Paul George and Greg Smith(rockets) on the team and we still didn't make the NCAA Tourny.. No PG and bad coaching is what did us in

Gotdamn, why is it so hard for nikkas like this to post more COMMON SENSE around here???

You hype him

He GREATLY underperforms

Now you say it's mental, not physical


Even if I wanted to believe you, why should I? You nikkas make excuses as you go

Hes a less athletic Rudy Gay

Idk know about that, their leaping ability is about the same,Rudys explosiveness might be a bit better,but Wiggins first step and open court speed>Rudys.

And just to put it out there No I dont believe the Wiggins hype, I think he will be solid but with most NBA Superstars what you see from them in college is what you will see in the Pro's the ones who have the work ethic go on to become great,but for the most part thats not happening.

Lmao some nikkas are dumb af . Ripping apart an 19 year old cause he doesn't look like a prime lebron in college Lmao:bryan:.. Homie is still raw but there's still hella potential. Kids gonna get better. Y'all are forgetting this kid is a freshman. Do you know MJ's numbers has a freshman in college? Like 13-3-2 or something. The media is doing these players a disservice. Back in the day when I't was the norm for players to say 2-3 years in college wiggins would be looking like a future GOAT. It's just the new perception that these youngins need to come out and dominate like lebron that is messing them up. Here is an article about MJ has a college player. http://m.goheels.com/mobile/ViewArt...&DB_MENU_ID=&SPSID=&SPID=12965&DB_OEM_ID=3350. Look at this part about his freshman year
"He was an extremely talented player who showed tremendous promise for the future, but he was a freshman and sometimes inconsistent. He followed the Duke game with just six points in a homecourt loss to Wake Forest,".
Not saying this kids gonna be Jordan or anything but calm down and let this kid grow. Kid is averaging 16-6-2 has a freshman and ppl saying he's ass and is gonna be a bust :ohhh:. Let homeboy live. Who knows how much this kids gonna improve in the next 3 years
