this guy?

someone brought up oladipo and maybe guarding 3's because of his length. IF i had to try defensing wiggins(melo, durant, lebron, gay etc) id much prefer poythress over oladipo(and hayward...)

in my mind its like burks vs shumpert of 2010, ones older, similar measurements, id say probably oladipo probably brings more to the table... next year.

he seems like much more of a player that makes his team better, when you watch oladipo he brings an attrition factor, he rarely screws up, and hes electric.(very easy to like).

poythress is not like that at all, yet. check his game logs, they dont lie. but poythress is built to survive out on an island, especially on defense. which is what we need. if poythress can ever get his game to the constant attrition factor like oladipo, watch out.

are we all just gonna pretend like poythress isnt shooting 42% from 3 and 57% overall...?

I've never said Poythress isn't talented, hell, I've not even pointed to a weak spot in his game. I am implying that he'll get chewed up and spit out in the NBA if he doesn't decide to start playing MUCH harder and with a purpose.

ty doesnt care how crazy his dunks are, when he screws up he will sit, early on. i know you do not wish that on the kid. BUT, inevitably it will increase his learning curve, and motivate him to maximize his minutes. you have lead me to believe he has a very high aptitude, his obvious tools are almost too numerous to list, we have 4 cant miss guys already right? and a 25sf DMC who looks worth keeping, we can afford a gamble on this kid. id contend we cant afford to not go after him.

come 2014 the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse(at-least 4,SF's) in the league by then most sfs will fit the bill of 6'8 7'0 wingspan, and some of them wont be skinny or slow, at all. hayward has no chance he isnt built like that. hes a 2. these types are already here. durant, lebron, melo, george, gerald wallace its laughable imo to say oladipo will be able to hang with these athletes whatsoever.

btw: i prefer poythress over aminu. but i fully endorse the jazz signing aminu at market value and going bpa bpa. i have 3 worthy trade up targets, Shabazz, Austin, Poythress
 
i endorse Wiggins to be a better prospect than Jordan or Durant, best ive ever seen in the 2/3/4 range. PKM, any chance he plays 2 guard in the league?

now i dont have any insider info. i can only see what is above, and only from below.

but i AM an expert at undressing marketing, my gut tells me Wiggins is a lock to declare at UK, and they are just waiting it out to let the anticipation build. the fact that Randle and Gordon are waiting too, re-enforces this, imo.

Edit : [url]https://ballislife.com/32784/ [/URL] pkm, do you plan on challenging him to a staring contest?

Good Marketing essentially is being able to replace the real reason to love something, with a feeling of familiarity, and furthermore fleecing the people; thru abusing their instincts(color,sound) to perceive love and familiarity as equal.

So Wiggins is making people replace the real reason they love him with a feeling of familiarity, thereby fleecing them by abusing their instincts by waiting to choose a school?

nope. not at all.

the marketing as it relates to wiggins is the next jordan stigma, or lebron, thats the familiarity. thats been placed on him in hs, hes gotten himself so much attention he cant possibly do anything but mess up, yet he doesnt.

when you take all the psychology out of it and just look at wiggins resume and tape skillsets, you will deduce hes the best 2/3/4 player youve ever seen in HS, ive come to that conclusion.

the marketing here is that anyone else has a chance at wiggins, florida st... really?

hes obviously going to kentucky imo, not because he wants to secure a championship and not devalue himself by fitting in around supreme talent, he seems genuienly liek the type of kid who wants to win above anything else, but also win all the individual accolades too (like adrian peterson) so why in the world would he pick anywhere but kentucky. hes an obvious one and done anyway, thats the best fit to go 1/1 for a championship, plus cals rotation is so indepth that Anthony Davis who had the 5th most shots on the team last year SWEPT the player awards in a way that only durant had done before him, without the defense. i see wiggins going to kentucky because hes trying to hunt down that type of season.

fsu because of ties to his parents? c'mon... that sounds naive to me

[video]https://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=8581928 heres some marketing at its worst. trying to get you to class wiggins with parker, he should be compared to all time greats

Edit: Honest player comparison. i have him as a 2/3/4 so its Mitch Richmond/Lebron/Anthony Davis
