    As a Mormon, I definitely agree, our best NBA contributions have been awkward white people. (I served an LDS mission in the favelas of Salvador, Brazil, where I can only guess that it's about 90% black. Unfortunately they all aspire to be futbol players. :))

    he has the same ability Lebron did at 16, but Wiggins has a better jumper, and works harder. Lebron only started working a few years ago. In HS, he just messed around. This guy, Wiggins is already a workhorse.

    So sad that his dad is one of the best A&M bball players in our history and we didnt even make it on his recent Top 14 list ... Guess his mom is the big influence in his life though since he followed her religion .. Lol

    Thats my favorite book, and heres something even more creepy, Ender was originally named Andrew Wiggins, but the author decided to take the 's' off the end of the name at the last minute.

    He reminds me a lot of a young Paul Pierce. He will be a very good player at the next level.

    I don't really see explosiveness and crazy quickness in those highlights. Seems more measured and cerebral. Definitely has some great ability for his age.

    i dunno if he's the best player since lebron..hell he's not even the best player to come out of simeon; that designation goes to derrick rose, but he definitely has talent. i've seen him play before and he's more of a combination of paul pierce/carmelo anthony as people had mentioned before me. if continues working on his game and gets comfortable going left, i can definitely see him doing some damage at the NBA level.
