Well there's a first.

Eventually you guys will be contending with basically all young guys for the most part. That's the best position to be in. The Rockets are basically wasting seasons away. Wiggins > Harden in a few years.

That's a nice thought, but we've been through too many failed rebuilds in the last 10 years to get too far ahead of ourselves with this group.

Yeah I mean I can definitely understand being cautiously optimistic. It seems like it's just a matter time barring some kind of injury curse.

They'll be one of my teams to watch in a few years on league pass.

Shabazz is really overlooked, but that's a great player to have a 6th man type.

Wiggins continually gets mugged in the paint without any calls. That was an easy and1 call for the refs, dont know how they miss morris palming wiggins' head.

Hey guys, Cavs fan here and big fan of Wiggins. I recently wrote an extensive comparison of Andrew Wiggins and Kevin Love in the player comparisons board, detailing why I think the trade was good for both sides and why Kevin Love isn't as bad as the general population seems to think. If you could check it out and give your thoughts that'd be great! Thanks.

Fans of other teams either love Wiggins or hate him. Seems like there's no in between. On the main board E-Balla just told me that Noel might take the top rookie spot from Wiggins if Noel keeps playing how hes been playing the past 10 games and i find that a pretty crazy take.

GB is like that with any Timberwolves player. Most of the fans don't watch Wolves games, hear the hype, then look at box scores and determine he is overrated. And, yeah, the Noel take is bad. Noel is a good player, no doubt, but he is #2 by a fair distance in this class.

Am I the only one who never expects these drives to be thrown down?

^^ It's only a matter of time until he really puts someone on a poster

I feel like there is no way Wiggins ever leaves us after what he/we saw last night. He could be that.

The pieces we have now are already way better then when we tried to build around Love, Jefferson, and most of KG's years. With another top pick incoming.

Wiggins good lord. When we first traded for him I thought it would be very unlikely he'd ever be as good as love. Now I think it's a certainty.

His stepback and counters are absolutely filthy.

N.Noel is playing great lately (There are people claiming ROY for Noel),

but

if they don't give the rookie of the year to Wiggins i'm going to be piss.

AttackTheRack · Post #437 » by **AttackTheRack** » Tue Mar 3, 2015 5:21 am

Wiggins should get the ball in some of these last shot situations. He needs to learn somehow. A little Wiggins step back 3? In your face!

Crazy-Canuck · Post #438 » by **Crazy-Canuck** » Tue Mar 3, 2015 10:47 am

Wiggs is starting to look gassed out there.

He is attacking more, but he is also getting hammered more. Add in the minutes and Wiggs is due to collapse from exhaustion any time now.

Thats all about those salty Phila fans on GB. They've been knacking Wiggins in every rookie discussion.
If anybody ever had a ROY chance it was Jabari.

This. Just go read the Sixers boards thread on Nerlens Noel.
