Stop talking sh*t about Wiggins. He's struggling today big deal! Everyone has their off days!

If tomorrow he drops 30, you'll all be on his d*ck.

He has a stomach virus! RELAX!

This is Wiggins' worst game by far. Apparently he's been sick.

For a #1 ranked prospect.....Ya he has.

He's had some alright games but nowhere close to a dominant performance.

Give me one game where hes dominated like either Parker, Smart or Randle have?

For such a hyped #1 overall prospect hes been very underwhelming.

He has for the people who bought into the hype and expected dominant numbers. That's their fault, not Wiggins'.

Did you see my posts a few pages back about Carter and Jordan in their respective NCAA careers? Go back and read.

I guess most people think If a player doesn't dominate in college ball he's labeled as a bust.

Drummond looked like a bust in college but now half this board would give up their left testicle to have him on the raptors.

I don't think it's much to worry about for his NBA future, but it's going to be hard for Wiggins to go #1 when Parker, Randle and Smart are unleashing the dragon on the NCAA
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change

Very different systems. Parker would not dominate that way at Kansas.

Plus, the reality is Wiggins has a much better body for the next level.

There's more to basketball then points guys. Wiggins has a great two way game, and doesn't have the luxury of playing in an offence like Parker where he is the number one, iso play, guy.

Plus the guys sick. I bet you people stay home from school/work and stay in bed, whining when you're sick. This guy is playing freaking basketball!!

Because that's who he is - he's always been the aggressive, versatile, skilled scorer who's more immediately ready. Wiggins is the guy with the great athletic tools, budding skill and questions about his aggressiveness with the potential to be greater than Parker and Randle IF he puts it all together. The Wiggins hype has always been based on his potential down the line and not immediate college production, but word of mouth probably distorted that fact. There's still no saying if he'll ever put it together, but Parker/Randle looking like better players at the moment is to be expected.

Nobody expects dominate numbers from Wiggins in college, that's already been discussed before, especially in a kansas team full of scorers, you can't expect every plays to execute thru him. He's shown flashes of his skills, that's good enough in my book, once he's in the NBA, coach will know how to use him the right way, I wouldn't worry about anything right now.

And this isn't to say that wiggins will be another jordan or carter. But those are two players that played within the system and didn't force the game.

Which is exactly what Wiggins has done so far.
