Maybe what you were trying to say he's a better ball handler, but I don't think anyone should shoots in the 50 percent range at the line is a superior offensive talent to many.
If free-throw shooting is your measurement of offensive talent, then I don't know what to say you.
Josh Jackson is an infinitely better ballhandler than Wiggins.
Josh Jackson is an infinitely better passer than Wiggins.
Josh Jackson has infinitely better body control than Wiggins
Josh Jackson is a better finisher at the rim than Wiggins.
Josh Jackson shot better on catch and shoot than Wiggins.
Josh Jackson shot better from the 3 point line than Wiggins.
Wiggins has a better vertical and hits Free-throws, so he's better...
If he's the sixers pick, them I hope you're right. I have a lot of concerns regarding the hype he's receiving. He's an upgrade to the roster, but I don't think he's got as much star potential as some are stating, plus some potential baggage. If he comes into the workout with an improved jumper, that shows huge growth and true self awareness...Fox has clearly demonstrated this. Jackson has always been able to get by on athleticism, and even in his comments of late doesn't seem to truly recognize his limitations. If he's a sixer next year, then I'm onboard and hope he's a stud, but I just don't see the same star that many are admiring.
