It’s Crazy How Some Of You Guys Are….

 I haven’t seen anyone hate on him, just say that’s he’s "overhyped in an  unrealistic way" like you say yourself.

 It is way to early in the season to determine the best player in this draft class that’s why we have to wait 4-5 years down the line before we make our opinions ….. judging Wiggins Parker or Randle off one game or a small sample size is just stupid … it seems this website is very in the moment … one bad game "he’s a bust" one good game "wow i think he could be a hall of famer" it’s truly comical

 I agree. I think the problem is that Wiggins was way overhyped. It is just not realistic to expect that he will be the next Lebron. His offensive game is pretty raw and hes got a long way to go. He could definitely still go number one, but I think Parker or Randle could also go number 1. Parker and Randle are much more refined on the offensive end, but they don’t stack up to Wiggins athletically (not that many players do). Im not a Wiggins hater, but if I had the number one pick, I’d choose Parker or Randle. Although Wiggins has the highest ceiling, his offensive game may not ever develop, which would be pretty disappointing. It is early in the season, so we will see how his game develops as the season goes on.

 I don’t hate Wiggins. I just simply think Parker is better currently and will continue to be better in the future. Just because someone isn’t saying Wiggins is the second coming of Michael Jordan, doesn’t mean they’re hating on them.

 I think this argument is based off of semantics, and how we as humans talk about other people. We like to use superlatives when describing these kids, and sometimes we get a little lazy. Saying a player is "generational" isn’t enough, so when people finally watch players like Wiggins and Parker play they expect to see college KD and Shaq, when in reality, Wiggins/Parker/Randel are all on pace to reach their respective potentials, even if they aren’t putting up mind-boggling stats. Wiggins was pegged as a do everything player who has potential to turn into a more committed Tracy McGrady. I don’t know about you guys, but I still feel that way, and when I watch him play I still see an amazing prospect

 I am not hating on Wiggins.

I actually argued last year I thought Parker could be number 1.

Based on everything I have seen I truly believe in my opinion that Parker is a better player now, and is a better NBA prospect. That is all I believe. I do not hate Andrew Wiggins, I do believe he was overhyped only because the hype on him was silly unfair. Best prospect since LeBron? C’mon…

I believe Parker is a more skilled player who controls the game, can dominate a game, is efficient, effective, and carries himself like a star. I think his athletic ability is no joke, he is a formidable NBA athlete, and his skills will continue to get better.

Wiggins right now is kinda raw. Not a ton going on in his offensive game. Part of it is Kansas’ offense, part of it his offensive game isn’t great.

I don’t hate him, I don’t think he should go anywhere lower than 3. I don’t think he is a slouch or a bad prospect by any stretch. Just not quite the prospect Parker is. That is all.

Plenty of people on this board have been torn on Wiggins/Parker since their junior years of high school. Just because someone prefers one to another does not mean that anyone is hating. People are entitled to their opinions even if it conflicts with the norm. It isn’t like the scouts are always right either…
