Is Wiggins going to slip out of the top 3?

Apples to oranges.

Noel slipped because he tore his ACL right before the tournament. Wiggins hasn't torn his ACL.

A better comparison might be Embiid. If concerns over his back linger, I could see him slipping ala Noel.

And even then, I'm not sure if that's a great comparison. Embiid has a much higher ceiling than Noel. Noel is a great defender but has zero offensive game. Embiid has a nice offensive game in addition to being a great defender.

I think the top 4 is about as set in stone as it can be.

I heard alot of people talkin bout oladipo, a bunch sayin len, and quite a few even talkng about burke

It was a ****ty draft
 
Embiid and Parker might be considered safer picks. I don't see how a team would pass on Wiggins at 3 or 4 if he somehow slipped there. But lets see if Vonleh or Randle can crash the party.

I can see Wiggins dropping a few spots. But not past 5. I would hope not anyways.


I really like Wiggins potential, but also see some bust potential in him. It's all about his athleticism with him. He is still so raw. I don't see complete bust, but I could definitely see a pretty big let down considering how he has been projected all year long. If he falls then we have to pick him. I used to put him barely above Jabari, but I think I'm leaning Jabari above him now.

That being said, I doubt he slides past 3.


Don't forget Noel last year too with his slide down. He was protected number one overall all year.

Noel was coming off a serious knee injury. I would be shocked if he got to #5 but I would run to the podium as quick as I could if I were the Jazz representative. The main reason why Wiggins is "sliding" is because he was so overhyped. There is only one way to go.
