Highlights from their game yesterday, didn't know where else to post it. Two of the most exciting prospects in the league.

This matchup might be something to keep an eye on.

Too bad Bucks and Wolves are in different conferences.

Awesome highlights, those two videos.

Wiggins by far as an offensive threat, he will one day be fighting for the scoring title. I think Giannis has more potential as a jack of all trades guy, master of none. This is a tough one, but I think I would give the slight edge to Wiggins.

Anteteokounmpo has taken a early lead in this comparison by quite a large margin.

He has 21/7.4/2/1/1 on 66 TS% . He's played some legitimate lockdown defense on Carmelo Anthony too.

Wiggins atm has about 14/4/1 on 40 TS% with pretty bad defense.

yeah the only reason for people taking Wiggins at this point is draft position. We have seen nothing from Wiggins to date to suggest he's the better prospect and he's clearly not the better player atm. I think people make the mistake of assuming Minny has 2 stars in the making. Neither guy is a sure thing, but Towns sure seems like the surer bet and with the higher ceiling to boot.

We had this argument a week or two ago, but I'm still not sold on the Wolves' future being as bright as everyone else. And part of that is how little faith I have in that organization.

awesome matchup. Antetokounmpo's offball D on Melo was really good. DPOY candidate

Way too early in the season to make assumptions but I am happy with the progress Giannis has made this season. He may have legit no.2 option potential on offense. Hopefully I won't hear another Anthony Randolph comparison again. I think Wiggins is gonna get going very soon, just needs to more time to mesh with Towns....

I think Giannis plays with more intensity, has a much better feel for the game, and has even closed the gap in the 3 point shooting department. I struggle to make an argument for Wiggins over Giannis until Wiggins shows much more this season. Giannis really looks to be molding into a superstar

I think this is an unfair bump. Giannis does look awesome, and normally I'd be more than happy to bump this for obvious reasons, but Wiggins is clearly not 100%. Back issues are a real bitch and you just have no idea how debilitating they might be for a player.

Giannis has the edge right now imo but writing off Wiggins would be a big mistake.

Wait.. people really think Wiggins is a 14ppg player? Guy's playing injured right now. Back spasms according to rotoworld

AW was putting up 20ppg just a few months ago and drawing fouls with ease, I don't think you can look his production now and assume he's 100%

Why don't you do a comparison between your boy Jabari and Wiggins too?

Jabari
4.0 ppg (.333 TS%), 2.5 rpg
3.3 PER

Wiggins
13.8 ppg(.399 TS%), 3.8 rpg
6.9 PER

Looks like Wiggins is off to an early lead.

Yeah, it's not like he's a half-rookie in just his 2nd game coming off an ACL injury, on a 15 mpg minutes restriction or anything. He should be leading the league in scoring.

The point of the comparison went over your head.

You're legitimately one of the worst posters on these boards

You're also making "your boy" look bad, considering that his statline doesn't even look good when compared to Jabari Parker who is averaging 17 minutes on a 2 game sample. Not to mention Parker actually looks good coming off his ACL tear, you should try watching Bucks games if you're going to go in to threads that is comparing Bucks players by the way.

Giannis has an all-star statline, even if Wiggins didn't have a slow start, it's unlikely he'd be averaging 20 points on 60 TS% with elite defense (just going out on a limb here). I'm going to go out on a limb and say Giannis deserves praise, I know it bothers you that Wiggins might not be as good as people told you he was when he was traded to your team.

Give big ups to Giannis, and face it, the whole "Wiggins>Giannis" thing isn't based on anything factual.

Since I know the type of poster you are, that'll be the last response you hear from me since I'm sure you won't say anything of quality.

My bad, hard not to take you seriously when you go in-depth into the stats and stuff. Figured it was some pre existing beef between you and the other poster.
