Wiggins NBA comparison Shawn Marion.

[bostonsportsfan]

in my opinion

1a Embiid - he's got the chance to be an MVP center. You take him.

1b Wiggins - he, as Embiid, will look better in the NBA than in the NCAA. He might be better than Embiid, but with similar potential, you have to take the big kid.

3 Parker - best all-around player, will struggle more than the former 2 when adjusting to NBA game. Wiggins shut him down, imagine what someone like Iguodala can do to him.

4 Randle/Smart/Exum/Gordon - all very good, they might be top 3 players of this Draft, but right now they seem to be a step behind the other 3.

8 Here's where the Celtics will pick (hope I'm totally wrong and we can get Embiid/Wiggins/Parker). Who knows.

Wiggins will be a totally different player (and better) than Shawn marion. Think about Vince Carter with Pippen's D as best case scenario.

Don't forget about Zach Levine From UCLA Garry Harris from Michigan state Rodney hood from Duke Vonleh from Indiana and the best player in college hoops today Doug McDermott

I think people forget (or choose not to acknowledge) that Shawn Marion was an absolute beast in his prime. I know people look at Wiggins and hope LeBron or Jordan but that probably won't happen. If you told me that he would be Shawn Marion I would absolutely take him no questions asked. That being said...Marion was valuable because he could play pretty much anywhere. Not that great of a comparison.

Here's another article from back in May:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1653638-5-bold-predictions-for-andrew-wiggins-freshman-year-at-kansas

It basically predicts that Wiggins will struggle early on at Kansas, but likely will get it together eventually and prove he is #1:

Andrew Wiggins will play his way out of No. 1 pick lock status with his early struggles only to reestablish himself as the surefire selection with an incredible second half.

By the time the NCAA tournament comes to a close and Kansas has at least taken home a Big 12 tournament crown and maybe more by the end of March, NBA scouts will once again be drooling.

Just sayin...  nothing he's doing right now is really unsurprising.  He still has phenom potential.

Great stuff.  I'm glad you are fully on board.  I have my reservations.  Time will tell.

Celtics 18 TP. My thoughts exactly. It's unfair the expectations. He's really nice. Not the next coming of Ghandi that's all.

 Tyronne Biggums. Thank you for pointing out how awesome Marion was in his prime. IMO it is a good comparison because you say Marion could play anywhere. Well really he could guard anyone except centers, but so can Wiggins. Marion could play three or four on offense. Wiggins they same, you could get away with Andrew at the two I'm sure.

 But your right If Wiggins ceiling is Marion in his Prime you take him no question about it.
