I was genuinely curious how Wiggins would react in that situation. He's a rookie and young and promising and all those wonderful things. And this is a lost season and the guy certainly put in his time amid the "injuries" and ineptitude around him. EVENTUALLY, if he's going to be the (super)star many here project him to be, however, he'll find a way to make an impact in that situation that's more than 1 solitary rebound.

By the way, I'm ok with ripping young relentlessly for 6 rebounds while ignoring Wiggins' 1 rebound... And the irony there. Because wiggins is still a rookie.
And I'm not really ripping Wiggins. 1 rebound in a game like this in year 3? Then I'll rip him.
Maybe I'm sensitive Abe, but that looks like a rip to me, and further making the comparison of Young's average rebounds (rounded up of course) to one low rebounding game for Wiggins furthers my belief.
As for sticking up for Young, wasn't that you in the KG trade thread I commented on presenting Young as a "legit professional PF" or something to that effect. That sounds like sticking up for him.
Saying that Thad Young is a legit professional PF is not exactly a crazy thought. What am I missing here?
That's about as tame a "stick up" or "compliment" that I can think of using. Are you claiming Thad Young should not be considered a "legit professional PF" or something? Seriously, what am I missing here?
