I don't care. I'll stick by my opinion, this kid will the huge when he hits the NBA.

he still gets plenty of exposure. if you even remotely follow college ball or know anything about youth basketball, you should know who this kid is.

and no he's not everything that parker is. parker is still the more highly skilled player.
AW's dominating at the HS level because of how physically superior he is, not because of his skill level. he still needs plenty of work on his handle, jumpshot from every level and his playmaking ability. parker still has him beat in all 3 of those areas of the game.

And you may be right. But he won't be Lebron huge.

I mean, come on. We're talking about Lebron here. In terms of skills and athletics, you probably couldn't find anyone like him coming out of HS in the history of the league. If Wiggins was the next Lebron or something siilare, everyone would know it. Regardless of what country he was from.

I hope to God's he's clutch. It would be the perfect thing. Instant favorite player just because of the nickname.

What? He dominates with his left or right hand already. This kid will be the a stud immediately. Parker=Carmelo, Wiggins=LeBron if were talking potential.

Psh, Parker ain't HALF the athlete that Carmelo was when he was young.

LeBron is once in a generation type of talent, and while Wiggins is a beast LeBron at 18 was even better and came into the league at 245lbs, Wiggins is about 30-40lbs shy of that so the physical gifts aren't really the same.

The 2014 draft with this kid and Parker headlining will be the best in years.

koko88 · Post #32 » by **koko88** » Sat Jan 19, 2013 2:15 am

nba draft room about him:

A gift from the basketball gods. Wiggins was born to play basketball. His ability is off the charts and his potential limitless. He is a different player than Lebron James in that Lebron is a more natural passer and Wiggins is a more natural scorer but he could be the next King of the NBA.

NBA Comparison: Kobe/LeBron

Watch Wiggins at 13 years old -

Don't hate on Jarbari Parker; he is a Rose, Griffin, Wall type prospect. In any normal class, he would be the consensus number 1.

Wiggins is just a LeBron/Jordan type.

This. I just reread that book again and thought this was some nerdy joke thread.

What are his measurements? He looks like a rare specimen.

Post #39 » by **alucryts** » Sat Jan 19, 2013 3:14 am

If he has a work ethic he is going to be a superstar.
