Aaron Gordon, Embiid, Kyle Anderson, Zach Lavine...

Who else could bust?

Andrew Wiggins

He might not become a top ten player as everyone was predicting a year ago, but there's no chance he's a bust.

There could be.

Maybe I am the only one, but I really don't see anything special about Wiggins, I really don't.

The only can't miss player in this draft to me, is Jabari Parker.

And even though, I wouldn't necessarily rule out dealing him for an all-star.

There's definitely a bust potential with Wiggins.  I don't think its hard to envision him falling short of his projected ceiling.  Kid definitely had some ridiculous hype at this time last year.

Shooting & motor.  Two things of concern.

Also, he seems really undersized, doesn't he?

Wiggins' quickness, jumping ability, 2nd jump ability, and body control is amazing to watch especially for a guy his size.  He needs to improve his skills, but they aren't bad as they are.  I really think Self's system limited his game.

Wiggins?  He's a 6'8" swingman who can certainly play the 2.  I definitely wouldn't say size is a concern with him.  He's only 19 so his frame is going to fill out too.  He'll be fine in that aspect.

He's 6'8" with a 7' wingspan.  He may end up even playing shooting guard.

I meant, he seems kinda skinny.

I don't know what he's weighed out at this summer but I saw him listed at 200 lbs.  At 19 years old, that's fine by me.  Like I said before, he'll fill out as he gets older. 

Durant has two inches on him and weighed only 15 lbs more than him back in '07.  Not saying that he's Durant by any means but just for comparison sakes.

Let's just hope Danny doesn't trade #6 for Sebastian Telfair again.

He also is suppose to have an 8'11'' standing reach.

Yeah I love the annual tradition of getting all worked up about players "dropping" and "rising" on a bunch of mock drafts that have zero impact and little relation to what actually happens on draft day.  How many mocks had Anthony Bennett going #1 last year?

How do you know that when the draft has not happened yet?
