Potential UK recruiting class

If Andrew Wiggins reclassifies it will be a toss-up between him and Jabari Parker for #1 overall prospect & SF.
But 4 of the top-5 recruits?! IMO the starters would be better than the recent championship team:

Andrew Harrison vs. Marquis Teague
Aaron Harrison vs. Doron Lamb
Andrew Wiggins vs. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Julius Randle vs. Terrence Jones
Willie Cauley vs. Anthony Davis

I think Wiggins should be better than MKG.

Definitely could but MKG was VERY good in his own right so I'm going to say it is about equal right now.

No offense, but Wiggins is on a different level as a player than MKG. I can't say he would produce more wins because MKG's value came from leadership, not just production.

But Wiggins is already a better player. He is more dynamic, more athletic, and has a pretty good mastery of the game in areas that MKG sometimes struggles (mid-range shooting). In 10 years, Wiggins could legitimately be the best in the NBA, while I think MKG's niche will be as a great second option and defensive energizer bunny.

Agree that Wiggins is already better than MKG, and he has a couple more years to become even more dominant and athletic.
