And what was MJ as a freshman? Pure athletic talent with average shooting skills, just like Wiggins right now. It doesn't mean Wiggins will be another MJ, but he has the physical tools to be the best SG in the league. He can draw fouls & finish fast breaks easily, great defensive fundamentals, quick feet, decent rebounding ability, he can shoot the 3 at an average clip as well. MJ didn't have elite shooting ability as a freshman and averaged 2 apg in his 101 college games, if you purely looked at his stats you wouldn't see some kind of GOAT potential, just a very athletic wing with medicore shooting ability, though he did shoot 44% from 3 on 2 attempts one year. But if you look at his game most of his buckets were dunks & layups, he would just catch the ball & drive, you didn't see the elite playmaking that he had in the NBA.
The only reason people are down on Wiggins is because he didn't live up to the media's hype in terms of being some outworldly talent that would destroy everyone right off the bat.
The shooting form is there, from the looks of it he will be a decent shooter, the athletic tools are obviously there, the defense is there, the finishing ability is there, he just needs to work on his ballhandling & perfect his shot & he will easily be an elite SG/SF.
His form looks like a hybrid of Steve Blake/Jodie Meeks, can't see why he wouldn't be a good enough shooter in the pros when he perfects his form.
Saw this game. Kid is raw, and already getting tons of whistles.
Mostly right, except the finishing ability is not there. He is finishing ~40% on the year, extremely alarming and mediocre.
Everything you mentioned boiled down to potential (ie skills that do not exist today, but might come later)? Why the double standards? Why not LaVine or Gordon? Gordon is arguably more athletic than Wiggins and more elite defensively.
4 points 4 turnovers on the biggest game of his college career

Andrew is raw but if the Lakers pick him he will be a superstar on the same level as Durant or Lebron. The reason for this is because he will have God teaching and training him on how to be a great player. Under God's tutelage Wiggins will be unstoppable.
Lakerfan getting their hopes up for this
Dude just doesn't have the drive. Typical beta tbh. Gonna have an exciting rookie year though.
lefty needs to get in here and spin dis
non issue
Duncan got dominated by ing Orstertag in summer league
It's not even being a "beta" or lacking "drive," Wiggins just doesn't have the handles and playmaking skills to take over games the way he was expected to, and he sucks against zone defenses.... when his jump shot isn't falling, he becomes very limited in the half court....
Wiggins is very flawed and a loooong way off from being "the next LeBron," he'll most likely never even come close
Much props for honesty.
read my post in the march madness thread homie
THe good news : no more Kansas games on TSN this season
You mean the one where you had the bright idea for an inefficient bricklayer like Kirby to teach Wiggins how to shoot?
Is he good? Can the Lakers get him?
That's not what I said..You mean the one where you had the bright idea for an inefficient bricklayer like Kirby to teach Wiggins how to shoot?
Needs to really stay another year. His rookie year will be bad imo.
This belongs in every thread. gif of the year candidate.
Tonight with 21 points 8-10 shooting in the third.
He has been on a tear lately. Last 5 games: 24 points, 5 rebounds, 3 dimes a game shooting 50/56/93 from the field.
January stats: 21 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assist, 2 steals per game shooting 49/36/87 from the field
Scrub with the goods..

Wasn't that impressed with him college but it's good to see him developing quickly. The more stars in the league the better. As long as they don't treat him like LeBron and call him the next MJ.
