I'll keep repeating myself. The worst thing that happened to Wiggins is that he was drafted #1. All the scouts said then project with huge upside. But because he was #1 people are impatient. He's progressing. Week by week you see minor shifts to his game. His perimeter D has definitely gone up a notch.

If NBA GMs had a draft of players under 23 yrs old, where would Wig go? No way he's top 10.

If he played like this consistently he would be. Whoa!

Cool, why do you think that is?

Why what is?

What a block by Wig.

KAT as matador tonight on defense and Taj not much better. I'd put Aldrich out there, he cant be any worse.....

Some dumb ass tonight is going to post that he didn't see the game, but looking at the box score he figures Wig didn't impact the game in many ways.

Woah Wigs locked in tonight. On fire

Dumb mistakes keeping the Clippers in the game. Ive seen more defense in All Star games.

I'm not 100% convinced Wig won't be the best player in the league in 3 years. Embid or the Freak are more likely, but wings like Wiggins are pretty rare.

SI has him as the 11th best player under 25, with Booker, Simmons, and Beal in the top 10.
