This guy is a lock to be a top 2 pick in 2014... assuming no injuries and no major downfall at college. Looking at his physical capabilities AS WELL as his actual basketball skills, this guy seems like the real deal. A hyped HS player who will actually continue to dominate at higher levels.

Raptors are going to have to be pretty awful and possibly lucky to get such a high pick in '14.

How is his prospects so far compared to say LeBron , AD , Shabazz ?

LeBron is in his own league but i don't think any other HS player since him (Oden maybe?) has received so much unanimous praise from scouts and "people in the know".
If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

Did some research.

Shabazz isn't even number 1 for his year currently . Noel is although they're both at 98.
What I'd give to see the Raptors land one of these guys ...*dream*

For next year we have Anthony Bennett from Brampton .

Following year Xavier Rathan-Mayes -Scarborough .

Wiggins really impressed me from that vid though. Crazy athleticism. I really hope he makes it big.
