what will his haters/doubters say if he plays like the last 2 games from now on?

if he learns how to be agressive on a regular basis...

dear lord..



I don't think Barnes and Wiggins are similar, and I feel like Wiggins had the better freshman year, but don't forget Barnes set the single-game freshman scoring record (40) in the ACC tourney and set the ACC freshman scoring record for the NCAA tourney too.

Barnes didn't have Wiggins' ball skills or first step, or maybe he just didn't use them (I always told people he looked bored and would turn out to be a decent pro), but in any event he settled for a ton of contested pull-up twos and long bombs. He took almost twice as many threes as Wiggins while getting to the line half as much. I saw Barnes play a lot in college, and he didn't collapse the paint at all. Even when he got there, it tended to be on these plodding walk-downs.

What make you say that? Embiid has been constantly injured this season and Wiggins looks like he can be a potential once in a generation scorer. It will depend on the team and how Wiggins performs from here on out.

Bird would have won 4 rings with that team, in this weak ass era of basketball.

he could probably have a great career as a track star but not as a basketball player.

Off-ball slasher with questionable handles and mediocre shooting.

Wiggins supporters even take offense when you call Wiggins a more athletic Rudy. They want either a Paul George or young Kobe comparison, except he plays nothing like either player. His closest NBA play style match is Corey Brewer.


LOL, I remember this guy.
