I was gonna come back say that it took PG 3 years to get it together. Still, he should be boarding more than he is right now. Play making takes time.
Boxing out and playing defense (which he's doing) is FAR more important than some silly ass rebounds. :manny:
Paul George is/was lesser talent the years doesn't matter. Wiggins is the #1 pick people need to be hard on him
I think some folk are being too hard on him. He's only 20 and he's close to being a top 10 scorer in the league. The real talk should begin in his 3rd/4th season.

Draft status doesn't mean shyt. Draymond Green, Chandler Parsons, Isiah Thomas were all second rounders. And Paul George was a lottery pick, so I don't know why you're acting like there wasn't any expectations.
Parsons and isiah thomas are 3rd option material no clue why you brought them up. And you proved my point that that high picks have higher expectations and more value . Thank you

Top 10 scorer based on what? He's below league average on efficiency. He's struggling . His defense is what is helping him. Even that has slipped

I
I said CLOSE to being a top 10 scorer. 21 points on 17 shots for a second year player isn't struggling.

15th in the league in ppg
Averaged 22.9 ppg on 44% shooting in November
Averaging 20.4 ppg on 44% shooting in December
9th in the league in clutch scoring
6th in free throws attempted per game

The only thing really stopping him from entering the conversation is his lack of a 3-pt shot.

Only thing that is helping him offensively right now is his ftr. If he didn't draw fouls at the rate that he does he would be borderline garbage. He's been a straight up disappointment, hopefully he turns it around by the end of the year.

And 21 pts on 17 shots is nothing to talk about , especially for a sg/sf that draws like him. He needs to do better

Providing elite man-to-man defense and averaging 20 ppg in your second season is a disappointment to you? I think your expectations of him are beyond unrealistic.

Wiggins isn't a good scorer yet. Best thing is his Free throw rate at times.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
only on the coli is being able to get to the FT line a negative trait


Dudes can't put two and two together, if he can get to the line now, what happens when his game becomes more refined and he's still getting to the line.

People can't see the forest for the trees breh, he's getting to the line with people giving him space :dead: he's so quick that even with a cushion defenders are fouling him. Once the jumper comes around :scust:

The typical excuse-dudes back doing what they do best. :stopitslime:

It's okay for them to call Wiggins' defense elite when it isn't, but they get their panties in a twist when people get sceptical on a nikka who puts up 20 on 17 shots. :mjlol:

Ole 'Wait till 2021 and you'll see what we talked about in 2014' ass nikkas. :laff:
