re: Andrew Wiggins is starting to become a player you just can't miss

The Cavs screwed up. He's turning into a generational player and Love has serious flaws. They could have been set for a decade and a half, from Lebron to wiggins.

when you make a trade and win a championship, I dont think you should consider it a screwup.

BB03.

If you're still out there.


Man, this is my bad. I owe you a beer.

This is kind of what I am getting at. None of us know whether they were afraid to max him out because of the tax bill, or they were afraid to max him out because he wasn’t worthy. If they were afraid to do it because of money that is a shame. As a fan I could live with them missing on the projection because of exactly what you said.

But those triple-doubles though

Yyr

But he had no help

This year he got his guys and he’s a Paul George / Steve O out two week ankle sprain from not even making the playoffs.

LOLLLL

I think Wiggins is going to be a top 15-20 player ever, yes.

This thread has not aged well

It's always somewhat of a leap of faith to say that kind of thing this early into a player's career, but he'll likely end the year averaging 20/7/2. You look at the greats and how they looked in their rookie year, he falls in with them. He's definitely light years ahead of where Love was his rookie year, and Wiggins only had 1 year of college ball.

When he puts some muscle on his frame and refines his offensive skill set, forget about it. I have no problem believing this kid will be a top 3 player in a couple of years.

Yikes.

Well I still stand by the fact that Wiggins has all of the physical tools needed to be a superstar. So many things go into taking that next step though. He got his money already though, so I think what we see now is pretty close to what he's going to be at his peak. Can't teach desire to improve and I don't think that's there. Maybe Lebron met the guy before the draft and knew he didn't have that drive in him. And I did say he had some improving to do, which he didn't do.

He's still only 22 (23 in a few days) so maybe he takes some miraculous jump in performance but not likely. He's a solid starter but definitely a bust having been the former #1 overall pick.
