Which duo would you prefer to build around? Both groups are young and still developing, arguably 2 of them could become top 5 players sooner rather than later.

I'm a big KAT guy however...Greek Freak is a special, special talent. It really depends on your opinion of Parker. Wiggins is/will be a very good Robbin to KAT's Batman.

Good question but I'm taking the Bucks duo since I like Jabari more than Wiggins.

People are really sleeping on Jabari this season. He's really developed a lost game, and now has explosion since that knee has healed. I'm taking G the Bucks Duo all day. We still really don't know just what Wiggins is

I'm partial to any duo featuring the Freak.

I would have to go with Freak/Parker. I love KAT but I feel Freak/Parker give you so many more options on play style

I'd take him over Wiggins all day.

This isn't even a question, besides the fact that Giannis has better numbers than KAT and Jabari has better numbers than Wiggins, one duo has led their team to 13-13 and almost single handedly beat the Cavs last night while the other duo has led their team to an 8-19 record

Would anyone venture out to say Jason Kidd is a better developer of talent than Thibs at this point?

Gotta go Giannis. Towns comes off at a little soft TBH. Needs to get a little dog in him thibs should toughen him up but it won't happen over nite.

Antetokounmpo/Parker until Wiggins starts walking on water like people thought he would.

I've always said JP was better than Wiggins since high school.

People just get caught up on how high Wiggins can jump but JP has and alway have had a more polished game

I agree that I would take Giannis/Parker over Wiggins/KAT, but I am guessing you have not watched KAT this season.

I don't understand how Minnesota is this bad. Milwaukee would love to have Zach Lavine and Gorgui Dieng on their roster. Greek Freak and Parker have a horrible roster around them but they are playing .500 ball. Wiggins is the same player he was when he entered the league. I think the Cavs won that trade with how well Love is playing.

Besides scoring, which largely a result of him shooting more, he's either improved little or regressed in other facets of the game.

I still can't get over how he only averages 2.4 assists per game with a high usage. He averages more turnovers (2.5) as well.

Frankly, he's an average player who happens to shoot more than other average players which makes him seem better than he is at this point.

Because Wiggins isn't nearly the player people expected him to be and that people still imagine him to be. He's not good.

Wiggins is a very flawed player but Towns, Lavine, Wiggins, and Dieng should be a lot better than a 8-19 team. Lavine has surpassed Wiggins as the second best player on that team.

The question should now be:
If you're Minnesota, do you trade Rubio, lavine, or Wiggins?

Honestly looking like lavine could be a more complete player than Wiggins.

Rubio is limited offensively but he's so underrated as a defense.

Wiggins just seems to be a high usage scorer that doesn't have great range either and wings need range.

22/4/2, shooting 44/35/76 wiggins
21/3/3, shooting 48/40/88 lavine
