Remember Wiggins

[OregonDucks]

Remember this guy?

 

[bksballer89]

who is he? Don't recall

 

[OregonDucks]

He'll be in the NBA next year, you'll hear some hype around him in Summer league, but then you won't hear his name for another 4 years or so.

 

[Shanemansj13]

He's garbage and shouldn't be #1. He is going to the draft, but he isn't ready. He could be very good in the NBA, but will take much longer than you think.

Anyone who takes Embid in the top 5 is dumb. Back problems already? I'll pass

 

[Shanemansj13]

I wasn't impressed with him the whole year really. He did have like a 41 point game, but he was just on fire. Other than that, he is just a good player, nothing spectacular.

That's why I said you wont hear is name after the draft and summer league for another 4 years. Because these kids straight out of high school aren't ready to be in the league besides a rare few. Wiggins was a glorified 5 star recruit and he proved he isn't ready for the big leagues yet. But he will go, they all go.

4 points, 4 turnovers 1/6.

Only taking 6 shots says it all, get to the free throw line and find ways to score. Good and great players do that.

Hard time to root for these teams that go after these 1 and done players. You made the bed, now lay in it. They might give you a nice season and a decent run in the tourney, but if you don't win it, it's like starting all over again the next year.

Look at teams like Florida and Wichita State. Those were built with veterans. These one and done programs are annoying.

Ohio St used to be like that and I hated it. The lat couple years guys are actually staying, like Craft. Ot is good to see, instead of them just abandoning their team after one year.

They should change it to the same rules as football. 3 years or 2 years and redshirt.

Kentucky is the worst. I can't wait to see them get their ass handed to them by Wichita State.

maybe coaches are realizing how it can backfire on them. Because it is a one and done year for them as well, there really is no program being built. Get the best AAU HS kids put them together for a winter league and hope you win the national title.

Rather then going out there and recruiting and building your program to not only obtain success, but sustain success.

Yeah they are probably the best example at this too. They got lucky that one year, won the title, but look since then, a bunch of Freshman going out there year after year. Kentucky ends up losing ot the bigger and more experienced team.

Problem as I see it is Kansas had him playing out of position most of the time. Next year he won! t have to be a one man gang. IMO he will be just fine as a pro.

 

[WhiteMamba]

best HS class ever coming into college led by Parker and Wiggins...

= 1 combined win in the tournament...

Looks like these one and done experiments are starting to catch up to the big boys.

Calipari "Best HS recruiting class ever" Wichita State 1 seed vs Kentucky 8 seed.

Wichita State is going to slap the shit out of em.

Has Greg Odom written all over him.

Lamar and Greg Oden's offspring?

I figure you were just exaggerating but did you really call him garbage?
