Wroten is not a pure PG and never will be. He's a combo that could become a highly effective player for the right team .. the Jazz are not that team.
I agree with what you said on all of QMiller, MKG, JLamb, and Leonard.

@ PKM: I think Wroten has the potential to be a star in the NBA. I think he's got PG skills and is clearly a bigger talent than Marshall, Kabongo and Teague. I think your concerns about Wroten are the same concerns that J'rue Holliday had coming out of college, and I think Wroten actually has more upside than Holliday. I also think we're so used to the Jazz running certain plays with certain gritty underdog players that we're not used to having real talent at multiple positions.
A team with Wroten, Burks/Hayward, Miller, Kanter and Favors and a few vets could be incredible.

Holiday averaged 3.68 assists in just 27 minutes a frosh in a very slow, deliberate (I believe anyway) half court system.
Wroten averages 3.316 assists per game for UW in 28 minutes per night. Not sure if they're up tempo or not.
Decent comparison.
You are correct concerning the tempos of both teams, fwiw.
@Catchall: I think Wroten has a world of talent. I am concerned, that in the three years I've watched him, he has not gotten markedly better. Also concerned about a guy that is shooting under 55% from the line and under 20% from the college line and against collegiate defenders. I certainly think he can be very good. I just think we need to try to draft someone that can shoot, please.
Wroten blows.
His FT shooting, 3pt shooting, and TO's agree with me.
Star potential. Makes big plays. Is just a freshman. Can drive and score at will in single coverage. Gifted passer. NBA athlete.
He plays in the worst major conference in America and his numbers haven't been that great.

Also find it interesting that MKG is listed as the 3rd overall pick in DX's mock.

Too high. 5 - 8, imo.
As for Wroten, Cyrone and Catchall have discussed the range of his potential and I wanted to *** one other tidbit ..
Washington has played 2 ranked teams all year. Against Duke (best team, by far, they've played) he scored a very impressive 23 points in only 24 minutes. On the other hand, he had 0 assists and 5 TO's .. and fouled out. Combo guard, period.
