for me, the similarities between wiggins and harrison barnes are pretty glaring. parker is carmelo.
I already did. His head is above the rim right here.
If you can't tell in that gif, then here's a closer look.
I'll admit the camera angle makes it difficult to judge how much of his head is above the rim right there, but you get the point. And you can't just go by whether his head is above the rim. There are other factors to consider such as how far away from the hoop he's taking off. You can't watch a guy dunk and be like, "his head isn't above the rim!" Well, no **** bro, he took off from the FT line.
Take a look at how far away he has the ball away from the rim right here. It's unreal.
When I watch LeBron from high school, he doesn't seem any more explosive to me than Wiggins.

But if only we could KNOW what his vertical is. Maybe in the future they'll invent something that can measure and quantify such a thing.
camera angle is your best friend
when the camera is shot from the ground, everybody's head is above the rim.
gerald green was measured at 39 inch vert.

can wiggins jump 5 inch higher than green? maybe, maybe not. there is a pic with bron's head way above the rim too. but again CAMERA ANGLES!!
and to say wiggins is near bron's level in athleticism is like saying patrick peterson is equal to bo jackson. bron is doing that with 40 pounds more body weight. bron is a different animal.
I have a body of work here. Your POS thread doesn't deserve dick and certainly isn't the new barometer for worthiness.
Bring your lame **** to my thread or gtfo.

Wiggins has a ways to go if he wants to be the real deal. So did Kobe, though but Bryant had a natural born instinct to him. Wiggins looks like hes got to develop an instinct. Not easy to do.
your instincts

IMO wiggins ceiling is tmac - but that's big if. to be like tmac, he has to have serious handle, his offense needs to take off considerably, and must improve playmaking ability. remember tmac took that giant leap after 4th year. i can see wiggins showing potential in first 3 year. he won't be able to produce immediately. but i can see him getting better and better like tmac. but again, that's a big assumption.
his floor is probably igoudala. and that's not a bad floor.
