ANDREW WIGGINS (Once in a Generation)

Uhm with those examples I don't think you've been following HS stars for a long time. Telfair, Green, Kwame, Bender, Curry, Miles, Swift are recent ones.

 

Austin Rivers had a lot of hype too.

Too soon to compare?

Im hoping Andrew Wiggins becomes better than Lebron... Dude has alonger wingspan than Lebron and more moves inside the paint than Lebron.

 

Rudy Gay, DeMar Derozan, Terrence Ross, and Andrew Wiggins wing rotation...


That'd be a hilarious amount of athleticism

 

Prepare to be disappointed. That is pretty high expectations.

 

The raptors have some great fans. I hope he goes there.

 

So this is Mitchell Wiggins son?

 

I would not count on that happening.

 

Do people really not understand the word "generation"? LeBron was drafted ten years ago.

Once in a lifetime! Once in a millennium! Once in a bajillion-zillion-year talent!

Sound like something an infomercial salesman would say. "And this one-of-a-kind hype can be yours now for the low-low price of $19.99. Wow!"

 

If only....:grin:

 

.....more like the most overrated prospect of this generation.

 

Gay surpassing durant's level. Soon to be on wiggin's level.

 

Yes. He's Jar El.

 

He would just end up leaving Toronto when he becomes a free agent to team up with someone else in a big glamour city anyway.

 

That's just after 2K. The 90's blue chip hype was just as bad.

Anyone remember Felipe Lopez? Schae Cotton? Travis Best (the "Telfair" of his time)? Lester Earl and Ronnie Fields were supposed to be some Vince Carter kinda showstoppers. Kenny Anderson was a good pro, but was supposed to be shutting the game down Derrick Rose/Chris Paul style.

I do think Wiggins has the makeup and tools to be a solid pro. He's not gonna be a Ndudi Ebi flameout or some scrubified DeShawn Stevenson.

I know its bleacher Report but this was interesting

 

Thanks! Been trying to watch him play. Sick! This kid is truly amazing. "Two feet planted". wOW

 

Uh, what? What makes LBJ such a monster is he has Karl Malone's body along with Kobe's athleticism. Wiggins is extremely athletic, but I don't think he possesses LBJ's body type.

Wiggins might turn out to be a very good player, but it's too soon to compare him to LBJ. Also I doubt he has more moves than LBJ, the competition is so beneath him he just dunks on everyone. Remember Derrick Williams and Beasley averaged 20-20s in the NCAA.
