there we go wiggins, but finish that

Its been a strange last 5 or so days in terms of the top five 5 teams.

Michigan St was named number one despite having to go to the wire with Ivy League pansy Colombia. They then struggled against a lower tier mid major in Portland St.

Iona is a solid mid major program (top 100 school consistently, sometimes top 50), but it should not be up against Kansas on the road.

Syracuse barely beat St. Francis yesterday.

Top 10 could be very different by Feb 1.

Wiggins picked the wrong school with the wrong coach.

Wiggins may have the athleticism and speed of a young Dominque but tonight he has the role player mindset of Nic Batum.

Kansas cheerleaders are 1 star recruits.

Even Batum is more aggressive. Wiggins can't just want to fit within a poor offensive scheme. He has to recognize its inefficacy and assert his game.

I'm seeing Al Jefferson out there

What's always concerned me about Wiggins was his lack of confidence handling the ball. He really doesn't like to handle it.

Batum shot the ball every time he touched it against us.

Its like a hot potato to him, he passes it off right away. Doesn't wanna handle the ball at all...

Wiggins always sleeps in the first half, and beasts in the second half. :/

Nor is he a dead eye shooter to fit the interior scorers around him

I don't mean to be a dick but any Canadian Raptor fan that has a Parker sig and wants JP over Wiggins is weak. Where's the patriotism and loyalty? I don't care if AW has gotten off to a slow start, there's a reason why all the best scouts in the world have him as #1 and yet we have "Canadians" hoping the Raptors land another American player that will probably bail on the team soon as his rookie deal is up. GTFO

Batum shot the ball every time he touched it against us.

Still played largely like a role player (a very good one) and less like a star though. That's Batum. He's a Robin-type or one of the best third banana types in the league. He's not a superstar.

My concern is that I see some of that in Wiggins. Is he more a Robin-type than a Batman? I've been more impressed with Parker in this short college season.

Wiggins handle has always been sketchy.

That along with his passiveness are big concerns.

People on this board will freak but Wiggins looks vastly overrated as a prospect.

Passive player + lack of elite handles.

Very troubling for a wing player who is projected to become a superstar. I can't think of an off-ball superstar wing.

Ellis has the mentality Wiggins should
