I have yet to see Wiggins get the same type of hype that LeBron or even Oden did.

IMO Wiggins and most of these guys wont be seasoned enough by 2016 for Canada to do real well. By 2020 though most of them should be 6-8 years in the league and in their prime.

Even though all eyes are one Wiggins vs Parker, I think Julius Randle is even more intriguing. Dude is 6,9, has sort of a Zach Randolph/Anthony Bennett build, has really good mobility for a big man, he can score, block shots but what makes him so special is his ability to create his own shot and play make- kind of like Odom, obviously to a much lesser extent- which is impressive for a high school player. He seems most NBA ready of the three simply due to the sheer strength and space he takes up.
BUT
I still have Wiggins as the best prospect over Randle and Parker.

I think you're right. The timeframe of around '20 or so is when they will be at their potential best.
I think though they could supplant Argentina as the 3rd best Americas team in the next few years. Then they can get into the Olympic picture. The potential will be there to challenge Brazil too, and depending on if Wiggins is a true once in a generation type, the USA.
It also depends on if they can play with pride and cohesion, something Canada has lacked.

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

Randle and Wiggins played against each other over the summer, Wiggins outplayed him by a wide margin.
