    First of all Wiggins was as expected, dude had all the all world talent necessary to succeed and be a superstar. He just isnt interested in basketball that's not the fault of "everyone" who had him no 1 they arent omniscient and they cant crack open his mind to say oh yeah this dude will not work on his game and just coast along.

    As for Jabari Parker dude tore his ACL 2 times after a relatively healthy career in college and high school. Obv when you tear your acl 2 times you lose all the mobility and quickness which were the reasons everyone had you as a top pick. Again are you blaming "everyone" for being unable to predict what will happen to Jabari Parker's ACL?

    All of these decisions are made with limited info knowing what they know now Jokic would go no 1 doesnt mean everybody who passed on him are dumb.

    I blame Wiggins bust more on lack of IQ than lack of effort.

    He is just not that smart or instinctive.

    All world athlete however.

    Point is it's not really something you can determine at highschool/1 yr college level.

    I think its more of effort though cuz his shot is still broken. Even if he is low bball IQ doesnt mean he cant improve his shot, those are more mechanics than anything else (see: Gerald Green)

    Hype is toxic, the NBA has the best pool in the world every year.

    Then KJ has to earn it.

    Tate one of team's best defenders and secondary passers.
