How good do you see Andrew wiggins being?

Like most mentioned e could be as good as T-MAC or Paul George or he could endup being just a Gerald Wallace type player

I think Wiggins' jumper is MUCH better than people give it credit for. It needs work, but it isn't broken and he had some success shooting the 3. His shooting display against Florida was outstanding.

I view a very reasonable comp to Wiggins being P. George or K. Leonard. He could be a little worse than that or a little better. He could be 1 of the 5 best players in the game if everything breaks right for him. At the very least I see him being a consistent 18 and 7 guy that plays lock-down defense on the perimeter.

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

Has just athleticism EVER been enough to get by even?

Pippen without the playmaking ability.

Remember when the consensus was that he'd be like Tracy McGrady? Feels like it was just yesterday that people were lying to themselves about his skillset.

Paul George seems like a pretty solid bet. He may be able to develop a jumper eventually, but its not like he's going to be creating his own shot on anything other than his quick first step.

A more athletic luol deng as his floor? Is that realistoc?

Physically, Wiggins outclasses Deng.

Impact-wise, I think setting Deng as his floor is ambitious.

Still in two minds who's better for the cavs Wiggins or Parker.

jpengland · Post #76 » by **jpengland** » Fri Jun 20, 2014 12:30 pm

Ceiling - Rich mans Gerald Wallace - slightly better 3 point shot and slightly better man-man lock down D.

Floor - MKG.

without a doubt- almost every expert says so. Parker is more NBA ready / better in the short-term

Wiggins is 2 inches taller than MKG and far more athletic. I also don't think Wiggins has the fire that MKG has. That isn't to say Wiggins doesn't care---he is just a different person from MKG.

Wiggins for sure. He has the higher upside and Cleveland already has high-usage guards in Kyrie/Waiters. Wiggins also brings truly elite perimeter defense to the table, something Jabari Parker does not.
