Didn't miss much
Do believe the hype. Wiggens will beast.

Didn't miss much
of course i did. 5 times this season, and plenty of highlights. season is too early, so i have plenty more chance to dissect his game. right now he is very similar to what tmac was before tmac took off. similar to paul george before he took off. both tmac and george showed you glimpse of greatness, but couldn't put it all together yet. both worked hard and they both took that huge jump in overall skills and confidence. both turned into a lead dog who would demand the ball.
if wiggins is that great of a talent then he will become like one of those two down the road. it took tmac several years. george too.
but again picking wiggins over jabari is a big risk. can we be patient with wiggins? i think we probably can. but by the time he turns into a beast, can he stay with us? not sure.
i like the kid, but i don't love love him like i do with jabari.
please elaborate.
i see a striking similarity - both young tmac and george. but again tmac took that massive jump. i honestly had no idea tmac was that kinda of playmaker and scorer. that kind of huge jump is not common. george too. george progression is almost tmac like. but george will never have tmac's handle and point forward ability. but george is a better defender.
That was the easiest projection tbh. Calling Kanter was going the furthest out on the limb because of how raw he was.

I mean ur wrong....
I have seen several partial games for Wiggins.
Wiggins is all but unstoppable on the break. He goes 1 on 3 and scores consistently.
In the half court he does make some plays but he lacks strength to deal with all bumping in the paint.
Defensively he needs to work on his fundamentals and awareness.
It is way to early to say much about him. He should be a much improved player in March.

I dont think Kansas is using him right either. They post him up too much.
I agree the jury is still out on Kanter overall. He's not going to ever be the #3 pick superstar that some thought though.

Use him right? It's like they don't even use him at all. In yesterday's game, I really don't know what more you could ask of him when he only touches the ball every other possession, and when he DOES finally get the ball it's out at the 3 point line against a zone designed to stop penetration.

To me Wiggins is better suited for the nba, it's a faster paced game and not nearly as half court oriented as the NCAA.
I don't know about the PG comp, but I seem to recall PG being accused of playing passively and not playing with intensity or something like that. Just an observation. Some players are just better made for the nba, and think this could be Wiggins biggest thing.
Edit: Talking about PG in NCAA.

I agree
Some people are upset about Kansas not using Wiggins or not using him correctly or whatever. Tbh, he's just not that good in a half-court setting at this point. Plus, Wiggins will have much more room to operate in the NBA than he does on this current Kansas team that is not very good at shooting
