What the hell? I paid 10 bucks to watch the game live, and the stupid video player has been saying "Live event will start shortly" the whole time. This is bull

Wiggins didn't look that impressive to me, probably still not in game shape. Though I didn't see 1st Q when he scored most of his points. Bennett was good on the boards, quite physical, some good dunks again.

Points isn't everything, no one on the Argentinian squad could deal with his physicality.

Clearly they did. He shot 4-9 to get 10 points in 33 minutes.

Was a great game for Bennett.
Would be a huge mistake to give on him. He is by FAR the PF in our roster with more potencial.

With Wiggins i'm starting to get concerned about the lack of assists and rebounds in his game.

As long as Wiggins can play great D, and score. The rest will come, and will be an added bonus. We don't need him to lead the team in rebounds or assists.

This post is all kinds of wrong.
"That's why the last two years weren't guaranteed," Walsh said. "Either way, he knew it could have happened either way."

Wiggins averaged 4.6 RPG in his first season, which is very solid especially if you consider his role on the team, where he was supposed to leak out after the opponent's shot. Also only 7 non C/PF players had more offensive rebounds per game than Wiggins.

His passing wasn't very good at the beginning of the season, but he improved really quickly. 2.1 APG isn't that bad btw. Bryant had 2.5 in his second season, Kevin Durant had 2.5 in his first. With more offensive options and more confidence, this numbers will rise for sure, because the court vision is clearly there.

Please don't let your love for Bennett turn into hate for Wiggins.

C'mon.
I have no problem in saying that Wiggins is so much better than Bennett. I'm not that blind.

There is no comparison possible between the 2.

When canada needed to close the game, triano called for a wiggins iso. He delivered the dagger with less than a minute left in the game.

This experience is good for wiggs with triano putting a lot of pressure on the kid.

My biggest concern its that canada didn't add any sf depth, so hopefully he doesnt get to overworked before the season starts.
