Wiggins isn't elite. He's a borderline allstar but I'm only moving 1 for an established star or a haul of premium picks.

Also why would you want to invest in a max contract in him when you can have Fultz or another rookie  for much cheaper.

Fultz is a better prospect than Wiggins and has more years of control. Not happening.

I think that's true now, but people expected him to be much better than he is now, especially defensively. He was very highly regarded when he was in the draft.

I think this current version of Wiggins is Fultz's absolute floor - a one-sided volume scorer that is a much better shooter than Wiggins.

Thanks, but no thanks.

hopefully Brown = Wiggins vol. 2

Right now Wiggins is light years above Brown... as much as I like Brown but he is still a project

Light years?  I wouldn't go that far. 

Wiggins has been in the league three years, vs one for Jaylen.

Here are their first year stats:

JB: G-78, GS-20, PPG-6.6, TRB-2.8
AW: G-82, GS-82, PPG-16.9, TRB-4.6

Wiggins has better stats on the surface, but that was on a Wolves team that went 16-66.  He averaged 36.2 MPG vs 17.2 for Jaylen.  I'd bet, next year, if Jaylen starts, he is going to be in the same category as Wiggins, and, oh yeah, Brown did it on a team that went to the ECF!  That experience in itself is worth gold!
