A poster on another message board thought that KA could have a career like Hedo Turkoglu. That might not sound like much, but Hedo was a big part of the Orlando Magic's playoff run the year they made the Finals (2010). A big guy out on the floor who can handle, drive, shoot and pass is a nice option to have. I'd like to see how he measures, but if he's got combo forward size, I think he's an interesting player.

People make a big deal about athleticism, but I think it's a bit overrated when it comes to players who can really play the game.

He has already been measured.
 
Andrew Wiggins' comparison to Rudy Gay says all I need to know about whoever is writing the mock drafts for nbadraft.net these days. Unbelievably inaccurate comparison that I think expresses a bias on behalf of the writer.

edit: In the same mock draft Aran Smith of nbadraft.net simultaneously compared Kyle Anderson to Magic Johnson and Andrew Wiggins to Rudy Gay. If you believe that... then, well, you are Aran Smith apparently, whoever the F that is.

I can see the Rudy Gay comparison though. Rudy struggled to create his own shot effectively and doesn't have a great handle, both known for their defense in college. Similar size and both really athletic.

A lot of people have compared KA and Magic. They don't say he will be as good, but that is the player he is most comparable too.
 
Reporter: What do execs or scouts tell you most about your time at UCONN?

Rudy Gay: They say sometimes I was a little passive, too unselfish and stuff like that. Looking back at tapes I do kind of see myself doing that, but that’s what I’m working out for.

Reporter: What do they like about your time at UCONN?

Rudy Gay: I think the fact I filled the stat sheet, I think that’s one of the things I try to do the most with defense and scoring and steals, rebounds, stuff like that.

Reporter: Do you see yourself as a ’potential’ guy?

Rudy Gay: I think I could be a ’potential’ guy. [My trainer] always tells me the one word you want to get away from your name is potential, because that’s saying you’re not there yet. And that’s what I’m working to get.

Part of a pre-draft Rudy Gay interview. Sounds kind of Wiggins-y. Not that ridiculous of a comparison.
 
If we're going to compare solely based on style, then Andrew Wiggins reminds me a lot of Michael Jordan without the passing. Guys used to get the Jordan comparison all the time, but I never agreed with them. Now that I'm seeing it in Wiggins nobody else seems to notice. If you go back to Jordan's early years, the body-type, the athleticism, and the way they move with the ball is very similar.

I'd say Dominique Wilkins.
 
Anderson at any higher than 8th would be depressing, unless there are a lot of returning top prospects.
