OT: Andrew Wiggins Discussion Thread

[lander]

Except Jabari has many more impressive offensive performances than Wiggins has had so far.

Yup and he's avaraging almost Durant like numbers (UT). He's definitely in a different league IMO.

His offensive game might be in a different league, but Wiggins' defence and athleticism are also in a different league.

Well imo Parker is a better athlete and defender than you give credit for. Wiggins needs a lot of work and while defence is good, he is getting really overrated here. You would think he's a cross between LeBron and Tony Allen.

His teammate, Joel Embiid, might have the highest upside in the entire draft.

He does. Embiid's potential is absurdly high.

Massai is too goddamn smart not to try and get a top 5 pick.

I will be upset if this team isn't blown up.

The team doesn't even need to be blown up to get a top 5 pick, it just needs Buycks running the show.

Some people say Parker is better offensively because his PPG average is much higher...

Well unfortunately Jabari also averages 5 more FG attempts per game.

Offensively, yes Jabari has been better than Wiggins..
But defensively Wiggins has been way better than Jabari.

Not really. It's very clear that Jabari is very skilled from watching him play. The PPG has nothing to do with it.

Parker is definitely more skilled than Wiggins at the moment (on offense). But Wiggins absolutely has the potential to eclipse him thanks to his otherworldly athleticism. It might take a few years, but I see Wiggins being the more dominant player of the two in every facet (including offense).

I may agree some facet of the game may end up better in the long run, that is if he pans out, but everything except the offensive skillset, because Jabari's skillset is not done growing yet, he can improve and polish his offense just as much too, still has a long way to go to catch up to Jabari's ball skills and shooting touch.

Wiggins is starting to piss me off. This guy just chills at the three point line. Looks like he's super-nervous at the offensive end.

Can Wiggins make free throws?

[Crazomali]

lmao @ Embiid ball handles

[Undefeated]

Embiid looked smooth trying to run the break. Unfortunately he lost control of the ball lol.

My concern with wiggins as a top notch prospect (albeit in a pretty small sample size) is that he does alot of standing around and floating out there. Great players find ways to impact the game in a variety of ways, and i'd like to see more of that from him. I know Kansas might not need Wiggins to be the focal point of the offense but from someone who should be the best player on the floor I'd like to see him more active out there. He should be more than someone who is floating out there not affecting the game half the time, even if that just means being a decoy that forces the defense to him more often. Maybe it is a coaching issue of under-using him though I don't have much faith the current Raptor coaching staff would do any better. That being said i'd still be ecstatic to get him and hopefully we will hire a better coaching staff next year

Looks like he's too willing to fit into the designed offense, even when it compromises his game. The rest of the team rarely swings the ball in his direction, and he's not assertive enough to demand he get the ball at least once every possession.
