So is this draft class a bust?

[KingSpeed]

Do you not remember Roy fouling Yao on a turnaround baseline 20'-footer, up one, with .7 seconds left?

0.8 and then Roy hit the game winner. No game winner for Wiggins.

If Wiggins doesn't foul, Jimmy Buckets gets an open 15' J ftw. Fouling gave them a shot to miss for the tie.

If Wiggins doesn't foul, Butler doesn't get the shot off in time. There was only 0.2 left and the ball was still in his hands.

making a game-winner or not, it was an incredibly stupid play. One you can understand from a rookie in his 3rd game after 1 year in college. Not so much in an All-Star with 4 years at UW.

Wiggins sucks.

We'll agree to disagree. Until February or so, when we revisit this.

Sounds good.

 

[KingSpeed]

Looked at it again. Butler had just fallen over. Wiggins was standing right there. There is no way Butler will make a shot there if Wiggins doesn't buy the fake.

#27 pick Bogdanovich looking good against Thunder

 

[BrianFromWA]

He's one of the few rooks with a trade kicker, iirc

What does that mean?

 

[BrianFromWA]

If he's traded he gets 15% of the salary owed left in his contract given as a bonus.

Relatively rare for rookies

 

[KingSpeed]

Interesting. How did he get it?

 

[KingSpeed]

Only one rookie (Parker) is averaging double digits in scoring (10.5) and he's shooting 37% to get there. This is one of the worst draft classes in a long time. Not even Noel (not from this draft class but a rookie nonetheless) is averaging double figures. Boy, the Wolves got fleeced in the Love/Wiggins deal.

Wiggins is certainly starting slower than expected.

17 for Wiggins last night

Dude, the season just started. Some believe that Wiggins is a few years away from being a decent starter. You're pulling this after a week?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Wiggy looked good. He didn't look so lost for once.

I see Paul George as his ceiling.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Boy, the Wolves got fleeced in the Love/Wiggins deal.

Wait, what??? How can you possibly say that.

Wolves last year with Love = .488
Wolves this year with Wiggins = .500

Cavs last year without Love = .402
Cavs this year with Love AND LeBron = .250

Clearly, it's the Cavs that got fleeced. Love is a loser. Minnesota is clearly better without him and his losing ways have infected Cleveland. He has turned the greatest player on the planet into a loser.

Learn the game, then post!

Maybe, maybe not, but I don't think Paul George has hit Paul George's ceiling yet.

Hahaja using Kingspeed against Kingspeed. Well played sir

Yes, and using a little new math...

Minnesota with Wiggins = .500
Cleveland with Love and LeBron = .250
therefore...
Wiggins = 2x(Love + LeBron)

You heard it here first folks, Wiggins is twice as good as Love and LeBron combined.

BNM

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'll take it a step further...no way would MIN trade CLE Wiggins for either LeBron or Love, and would have a tough choice trading him for both.

Wiggins with 29 in a loss tonight. Highest scoring by any rookie this season? Way to go Wiggins!
