From the embers
Wade was slightly better as a rookie but then again Wade was also 22 when he got drafted while Wiggins is 19. I think Wiggins long term potential is MUCH higher than Wade. He'll be on the Kobe/LeBron/Jordan plane when its all said and done while wade is on a lower level.
better defense. similar offensive production. he's easily better right now. and by season's end it will be laughable to compare the two.

I could have upped it, but he's been the number 1 ranked player for ages so there's no need to go into that whole "I told you so" shyt. It's like looking at the weather forecast and seeing it's going to rain, then telling all your friends it's gonna rain and patting yourself on the back for it.
Of all the things he's done, the most amazing accomplishment is being the first ever number overall 1 pick to come out of nowhere.
you nikkas don't get it. i didn't just say he was gonna be a good player EVENTUALLY (like everyone else). I said he'd be AMAZING in his 1st season. I said he would average 20/5/3 (remember alot of people were calling him raw and it would take time for him to develop). I said he would make the Love trade look mornoic by Janaury (many people were still calling Love an elite player). I said he'd be Paul George by the end of season 1 (and this was roundly criticized).
so it wasn't just a prediction that the #1 pick would be great. I gave clear predictions about when and how he would be great. I also made projections that his greatness would arrive MUCH SOONER than everyone else was saying. So fukk outta here talking like all I said was dude would be dope.

way to misconstrue things. when I said he would average 20ppg as a rookie 4 months ago that was roundly criticized. now that he's dropping 20 a night, nikkas are acting like they expected it. remember how everyone kept saying he was raw offensively and it would take time for him to develop?
stop acting like everyone expected him to be THIS GOOD THIS QUICKLY. I was the only one that said he would be THIS DOMINANT as a rookie.
I was also the only one who said Kevin Love would be THIS PATHETIC on a good team.
It was criticized cause he won't be Paul George by the end of the season, he's closer to a young Kobe (years 1-3) right now than he is PG. He's wildly inconsistent which is expected, and he's not ready to carry a team like PG did.
You're going so far overboard with it which is the issue.
Exactly...he put up an awful game today. Just let him grow and stop trying to make him the next Kobe.

Slightly?? I think it's bigger than that. Wiggins is more physically gifted but Wade was better in every offensive skill except shooting the 3.
And I think Wade, in his prime and before the injuries, was at that level of knocking on the Jordan/Kobe/LBJ tier. All 3 of them are obviously better but Wade isn't like T-Mac or Vince. Prime Wade was pretty much Lebron-lite attacker mixed with a Kobe craftiness.
And I think Durant is gonna be the dude on MJ/Kobe/LBJ level before Wiggins.
Hell, I think Durant is the most naturally talented scorer ever.
Wade was 21-22 as a rookie, not really a fair comparison.
Wiggins numbers right now are very similar to Kobe's in his second season when he was 19.
