You're not the only one who thinks this. Tharpe has looked off Wiggins quite a bit even when he's open.

Well maybe that's why.

Yeah I've seen him lead two on one's with wiggins on the other side and not give him the ball. I swear I think he might have only one assist (if any at all) on wiggins baskets.

Wiggins missing shots too bad thought he'd have a better game tonight. Looks too average then he should be.

It's nice to see Ellis doing well after disappearing for a few games, but...that's not why we're watching.

Hah, so Tharpe and Self have had big problems over the past couple of weeks and supposedly Self had to question "whether or not he loved him".

Surprise surprise, seems like he's got an attitude problem.

Look at Embiid's stat line tonight

15 points 6 rebounds 4 blocks 3 steals

Post #1352 » by **DG88** » Sun Dec 15, 2013 1:53 am

Damn Embiid just has great footwork in the post

Ragnar0k · Post #1353 » by **Ragnar0k** » Sun Dec 15, 2013 2:26 am

I think that was the most points by wiggins in the first half? (10). Follows it up with a 1 point second half (I think his lowest scoring half so far)

Embiid is just an incredible all-around prospect. Completely dominated that game.

I've noticed much the same thing. Wouldn't surprise me.

Still think Jabari Parker has a much more pronounced presence and impact on the game than Wiggins.

He might right now, but teams won't be drafting these guys based on what they're doing in December of their freshman year of college.

Raptors trade Rudy...

SAC drafts Andrew Wiggins...

True, but it's not like Parker is a finished product either.

The tricky thing with Potential is that it's not tangible and can't be quantified. Just cause a player is more physically gifted than another, doesn't guarantee they'll be better. There's mental makeup, work ethic, heart, bball IQ and a million other variables involved. Not saying Wiggins doesn't have those things - just that potential is a very subjective thing.
