Embiid fouls out. :cry:

Wiggins has locked in on defense. When he's locked in he's one of the best freshmen defenders I've seen. The problem is that like his offense he is often not fully engaged.

I think he can get engaged very easily if u keep feeding him plays, he can excel at catch and shoot/drive sequences over and over again, that may happen in the NBA but only if he gets treated as first option.

Exactly. The court is so small that it's hard for any slasher to do be effective. It was the same thing with Harrison Barnes.

Right now Randle, Parker and even Embiid are ahead of Wiggins as prospect ... Wiggins needs to put on allot work just to get to George's level let alone Lebron or Durant..

George is a top 10 player in the league so that's not saying much . . .

Clutch bucket by Frank Mason

Wiggins with the defensive play of the entire game. It's a good thing too because he missed a bucket to tie it the play before.

Mason took over. Wiggins as usual more impressive on the defensive end.

Damn, need a stop here Wiggins.

Wiggins' defense might be better at this point than his offense.

Its easily been better at every level of basketball he's ever played.

The kid has the rare potential to be an impact player on both ends of the floor.

Wiggins is a true lock down defender. Once he puts on some more muscle he's going to be a defensive beast.

Post #679 » by **Undefeated** » Sat Nov 30, 2013 4:55 am

Wiggins with the stop. Tony Allen/Iggy defensive potential.

Wiggins almost had that steal! Look what he can do when he's actually giving 100%.
