    Chalky,

    Don't feel sorry for him, he's the best prospect since Lebron.

    Durant was the best prospect since LeBron. Davis was the best prospect since Durant.

    Wiggins only compares to LeBron in athleticism, but people read that as: "wiggins is the next LeBron"

    As such, there is no way he lives up to the hype. Especially because he went through high school relying solely on his athleticism and not understanding the finer points of the game. He can't just power through people in college. As such, he will struggle until he figures it out. Everyone like him does.

    I would be shocked if Randle doesn't get taken first. Randle is the best Freshman since Davis. Wiggins is young though, so there is that.

    What about Durant?

    He won't even average 25 a game like he did.

    Maybe another Darius Miles/Stromile Swift in the making. You never.
    But I guess when you end up on a bad team and get minutes you'll put up "numbers"

    Are you trolling ? (honest question) Or are you actually mistaking Randle for Wiggins?

    I highly doubt Lebron had the all-around game when he came out of highschool that Wiggins already has. Only problem is the IQ and the demeanor, and there James beats him by a large margin, so does Jabari and Randle (the demeanor part at least).

    Let's not get hyperbolic or anything.



    I actually like Parker a little more than Wiggins.

    What part of my post makes you think I am confusing Wiggins and Randle?

    The only Caveat to Randle's game is his age. Meaning his dominance is slightly misleading considering he is older than most Sophomores. Whereas Wiggins is young, even by Freshman standards. He came into last season as a High School Junior and reclassified.

    Without reclassification Wiggins would still be a senior in High School.

    Michigan State and Duke at better than 9-1 ain't bad.

    Already have futures on Arizona at 14-1 and 16-1. $100 each.

    Lousiville at 9.5-1 makes Kansas at 7-1 look foolish.

    Wiggins not really that impressive so far.

    There was this guys on Sportsnet Canada tv talk show basically deepthroating Wiggins for like an hour saying how we'll be blown away and this and that when he plays at Kansas.

    Still waiting.

    I'd bet a million dollars he won't put Durant Numbers in 1st year college...

    Parker of Duke is clearly number 1 player in the draft

    He has most upside in nba

    At this point I would pick Marcus Smart before Wiggins. It's gonna be a very interesting NBA draft.

    I believe Wiggins is the best player in the college game right now. Let's not fixated on his PPG......both himself and Bill Self said he wouldn't have gaudy numbers. He's a team guy, and wants to win. A lo of talent around him.

    k13.....he's not expected to put up Durant numbers.....he's a different player, in a different situation around better players. I don't know if you remember Durant at Texas, but he did everything by himself....it was difficult to watch at times.

    I've been saying Parker is better than Wiggins for a while.

    Wiggins is just an overrated Canadian dude. Americans run basketball and we all know that.

    They are all African. He's a son of an NBA player. He'll be #1 pick.

    If Canada had 50 million Negros and US had 1 million you'd think USA would be "running" basketball...

    If Wiggins doesn't go #1 that GM will be fired in 3 years.

    Randle, Gordon, Parker, Smart all gonna be Very Good/Great NBA Players.

    Randle is the best player in the college game however, 3 college bigs can't stop him from at least getting to the line. Make the defense gameplan nearly impossible.
