Ceiling is Vince Carter

Worst is Chandler Parsons without a shot.

a slightly better terrance ross.

i dont see him every coming close to reaching superstar level. i think his peak is top 20-25 player. not a top 5-10 guy or close.

He just doesnt have the offensive skillset and athleticism isnt enough in todays league to get by. he certainly can be an elite wing defender, but that alone doesnt make you a superstar.

somewhere between Tony Allen Terrance Ross and Paul george seems about right

Vince Carter was one of the most offensively skilled players weve seen come out in the past 20 or so years. He was more then just an elite athlete

why do people think rudy not play defense?

I don't get the Carter/McGrady comparisons. Those guys could pass and had a very good all-around game.

He's more in the Rudy Gay/Demar DeRozan mold with the potential to be a more effective scorer.

Hopefully he doesn't pickup that 2 foot Rudy Gay jumper that bricked every single time when it could have been a layup/ dunk.

I think he'll be an absolute superstar in 5-6 years. Franchise player.

Been a lot of super athletic "defensive" wings come to the NBA only to ditch defense and become volume scorers. Don't throw the book out on that happening with Wiggins either.

Top swingman in the L in 5 years.

He'll be his own player, much like KD is KD, George is George, Harden is Harden. If anything and to answer the comparisions questions, I see a more offensively complete and athletically gifted version of Paul George.

People are giving Wiggins a lot of benefit of the doubt assuming he'll become an elite team defender.

Being great on defense isn't just about sheer athleticism, it's about effort and focus -- areas where Wiggins has oft been criticized. Take a guy like Paul George, he competes hard on every defensive play and takes pride in his defense first.. is Wiggins going to do that? We don't know..

Can't shoot that well

I think he has a quick 2nd jump like Marion did. He's quick and bouncy.

I could see him putting up similar peak Marion numbers.
20/10 with Nasty defense.

I could also see Gerald green in him and he becomes a bust with raw talent.
Maybe peaks out way later into his career

Lol I think he is. Dude has been touted as the number 1 prospect and first overall pick in the draft since he was 15 years old. Gerald green or any of those other players people think his floor is had that. He's been the best of the best for quite some time. Players like that don't get to the league and be Gerald green I'm sorry but it just doesn't happen. I can see him averaging like 18 pts 6 boards and 4 assists in his first year or 2 then once he fires out the style and play of the league he is gonna skyrocket into like 24 pts 7boRds and 4 assists a game and be a Paul George type player.
