ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 2/23/2015

Per 36 minutes:

Harden
15.6 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 2.8 apg, 1.7 spg

Wiggins
16.2 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.0 apg, 1.2 spg

 

I like Wiggins, but he lacks a certain finesse to his game. Straight line quickness and explosive athleticism only get one so far. I think his own athletic abilities dominate the way he thinks about basketball and that will limit him from being a top 10 NBA player in the future.

That could certainly change in the coming seasons but there are very few players who make the leap from star leaper to MVP candidate.

 

Wiggins won't ever be as good as harden only because he can't facilitate/pass like him. Very few players have the ability to score 30 and drop 7-10 assists nightly. I def belive that wiggins can be that 25 Ppg scorer with lock down defense but his handle and vision our lacking compared to harden.

Wiggins does have very good footwork for a rookie so I can see him developing some Paul pierce moves. I think his game is best suited 15-18 ft in and he can be just lethal because of his athleticism and shooting ability. He's a stud and as his body matures so will his game I def see him being a top 10 player in 5 years.

Now harden he's a generational talent and potential top 5 player of all time.

 

Wiggins is the next Kobe
