Predicting that anyone will be better than Wiggins is just silly. I'm sure Cy wasn't even half serious.

I really don't know too much about the HS'ers to be honest. I just refuse to hype them up until I see them in college. Every year I see HS'ers get over-hyped and them come into College and disappoint relative to the hype.

I get that, but the hype surrounding Wiggins is on another level. I could see Jabari disappointing a bit, or Aaron Gordon etc. I have a really hard time envisioning Wiggins not living up to the hype, though. Everyone is saying he's the best since Lebron.

You're being a contrarian. Every year guys get hyped and they perform, every year some don't. Big ****ing deal. Predicting can be fun, if its not for you, then maybe you shouldn't participate.. but its silly to pretend that more of the super-hyped bust than make it.
 
Kelly Olynyk will run circles around Mason Plumlee

Wolters will be a better NBA player than Jeremy Lin, although Lin is far more marketable.

Not sure how bold that is.

I think most players don't live up to the hype though, because the hype is usually unrealistic and kind of snowballs. Not saying they all bust and suck, but they usually fail to live up to what people boast them to be.

Some do, some don't..

I'm happy with my track record on this board. You are right about the media overhyping though .. but I never listen to those idiots.
