ANDREW WIGGINS (Once in a Generation)

[bullardfan]

I really hope we can get this guy. Just keep him away from cocaine and we'll be good. What could've been if his pops wasn't busted...

Well it looks like Andrew Wiggins status may be reclassified making him eligible for the 2013 draft.... That would mean there are 3 potential franchise players in the 2013 NBA draft ....looking at statistics this may be our best time to tank.

He cannot be in the 2013 draft, he needs to go to college remember? 1 year rule...

Like father like son he will be a Rocket (Without the damn drugs)

I am sorry, I had a brain fart. I mean't to say Wiggins may graduate high school in 2013 and not 2014. He would probably spend a year at Kentucky.

My thought exactly. "His name is really Andrew Wiggins?"

The enemy's gate is down!

[OremLK]

Alternatively: Ender's Got Game

[mylilpony]

I want him and i want to call him cheif wiggins. or ralph.

[what]

Mix tapes highlights don't generally impress me, but two things I like about what I say was his handles look elite and he is able to shoot off the dribble. If he is able to do that he is going to be special.

However, it still appears that his mind moves faster than his body, he always appears to be out of control.

Andrew Wiggins Contemplating Reclassifying To Class of 2013

Ewing Athletics ’33 Hi’ Launches in August (KICKS)LeBron James Skills Academy Recap Tuesday, July 10th, 2012 at 3:35 pm | 9 responses Andrew Wiggins Contemplating Reclassifying To Class of 2013 According to his high school coach, highly touted 2014 recruit Andrew Wiggins may reclassify to graduate with the ‘13 class, making him eligible for the 2014 NBA Draft. ZagsBlog.com has the details: “Wiggins told CatsPause.com that he was ‘not going to do it,’ but left the door open that he could change his mind during the school year. In that regard, Wiggins would be similar to incoming Kentucky freshman Nerlens Noel, who changed from 2013 to 2012, allowing him to go in the 2013 NBA Draft, where he is currently projected as the No. 1 overall pick by DraftExpress.com. ‘If we could get him to college early which would then get him to the NBA earlier, as a coach and a mentor to him, then we have to tell him, ‘Hey, this is probably the direction for your development that you will probably want to go,’’ Fulford said. ‘But also if he’s not ready we’re not going to push him because he’s still young. He wants to experience high school. It’s not like coming back here for a year is not going to help him. He’s gotten bigger, stronger. He’s gotta develop.’ Fulford said Wiggins, 17, would need to do some additional coursework at Huntington Prep in order to reclassify to 2013.”

Yeah yeah Clutch...... Man I had not idea this was Mitchell Wiggins son. When I heard the last name Wiggins, Mitch Wiggins was the first thing that pop into my mind. And yes he and Lewis Lloyd we busted for cocaine. Both were Rockets. Man oh man Lewis Lloyd was almost unstoppable going coast to coast with the ball in his hands even on drugs.

I also remember the days of Dallas with with the cry baby dude (Mark Aguirre), then Adrian Dantley with the high floater killed us all the time it seems like. And Dallas with Roy Tarpley. wow lots of history.

Hakeem Olajuwon punching guard Robert Reid in the face in practice one day for spreading roomers that he was taking and using drugs.

Robert Reid used to have a night club over on Richmond street just west of Chimney rock back in the day (west of Rick's Boat). I digress.

zzpot.

Wiggins will be a fantastic scorer, but I don't think he will be half the defender and playmaker Pippen was. With that footwork he already possess, a Kobe comparison is justified, so I'll go with that.

I think shabazz is a much better prospect than this guy and is in a higher athletic class than wiggins. This kids obviously got pretty good shot though!
