Hopefully you're just trying to make a joke.

I would rather win the lottery too. Who wouldn't want a couple million dollars?

TeamRicky- You say that someone would have to be clueless to compare Wiggins and Muhammad. I've been called clueless before, so I'll play.

-they were both the clear consensus high school player of the year in successive years

-Shabazz was 6-6, 215. Wiggins 6-7, 210

-Shabazz averaged 29.1, 5.3 and 1.8. Wiggins 23.5, 11.3 and 2.5

-there are articles out there about both of them saying "Settle down...this isn't the next LeBron"

Every year there is excitement about the latest high school phenom. Heck, one year it was Sebastian Telfair! And there was more buzz in high school about NBA flop Felipe Lopez than there is about Wiggins. I'm just saying there's a big difference between playing in the NBA and playing in high school. I'm going to let Wiggins take a couple freshman classes at Kansas before I anoint him a perennial NBA all star.

Derrick Williams gets in touch with his inner Kevin Durant, becoming one of only two all-star NBA SFs with an overhead reach of 9'0 or better.

It will certainly help if the supporting players step their game up but I feel it is more important that Ricky and Pek up their consistency. And of course Love has to get back into MVP form. If that happens and Ricky can become a better threat to score and Pek can play through injuries then the team will really maximize their output. Stars are what lift the team most of the time and Kevin, Pek and Ricky are our stars.

Ah, yes, I remember the Felipe Lopez hype! However, I'm predicting quite a few easy games the second half of the year against the Wiggins hopefuls! Maybe some excessive Pop-style 'resting' ?
