Kid is only 21 too. He's far better and polished at this age than I think even Durant was. Goat in the making.

Wiggins is having a highly impressive start to the season but to say he's far better than KD was at this point is a ridiculous stretch

KD at 21 was putting up 30 a game on a 50 win team...

Didn't say he's a better player. Just that his offensive game is more polished.

Proof you're a casual.

Wiggins was playing like this the ENTIRE second half of last season. He shot 40% from three then ENTIRE second half of last season

You casuals told me I was trolling and an idiot when I said Wiggins >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kat

you guys really need to stop watching basketball

Wiggins was hitting nowhere near this many threes last year even in the second half.

Wiggins form was not as good as it is not this year, where's setting his shot up perfectly and the follow through is consistent every time. This is what he worked on the entire off-season, along with his handles, which is why it's much improved this year and why he's taking and making a lot more this year compared to any other point in his career.

Wiggins is not overwhelming better than KAT, he's better as of right now but it's not some huge gap.

You yourself are a casual, sit the fukk the down. :pacspit:

:merchant:

First of all, you did say he was better. You said better and polished. Second of all, Wiggins ain't fukking with Durant at the same age. You either have a short memory or didn't watch Durant at 21.

lavine gotta go to a new team imo

Nah if they can bring him off the bench like OKC Harden that can allow Wiggins play the 2 full time. Zach would dominate against 2nd units...and he has more playmaking ability than people give him credit for.

It's probably be the most logical move if the Wolves want to make that next step. Would take the chains off everyone.

Lavine has next to zero playmaking ability. He was allowed to run point guard last year and the experiment went so bad that his coach wrote a fukking essay burying his ass for his lack of basketball IQ.:russ:

His Iq is not the best, but it will get better. If you watch him you"ll see he's actually a pretty good passer. The kid is only 20 and u can see he's growing and getting better. He never even played the point in his Highschool/ College career.

And speaking of his "coach" where is he now? :ld: That was horrible what he did. Why would u publicly lambast and embarrass your young player like that? There's nothing positive about that, all it does is kill a young player"s confidence.

That Byron Scott method always wears thin.

:usure: Wiggins isn't seeing KD in any way shape or form period as a scorer. His game is not and never has been as polished as KD's.

He has a better post game than Durant and if he keeps up this 3 point shooting(not saying he will, but if he keeps it above 40%) then he's arguably the better three point shooter too.

KD was and is the better catch and shoot player and was and is the more efficient post player. :usure:

The area that I think Wiggins has more potential is actually on the defensive end, he's having a great year so far offensively, but let's not put him on KD level.

I'm not saying he's better at KD offensively or even really close to him yet regardless of the PPG. I'm just saying Wiggins shows better work in the post and better footwork than KD ever has. KD's only moves in the post was the Dirk fadeaway attempts. That's all he's really ever had for post-work.

He got clowned endlessly for not being able to post up Tony Allen when Grizz were using Allen to defend Durant during the playoffs.
