I'm with Cam on the Wiggins comparisons and projections. I looked at the comparative Jordan stats last week and was going to post some comments very similar to Cam's. A key point Cam made was the fact that Jordan's much higher FG percentage reflected Jordan's ability to get to the rim almost at will, which reflected Jordan's far superior ball-handling. Even Scottie Pippen ball-handling was a lot better than Wiggins' -- reflecting the fact that Pippen was a PG before his late growth spurt. Note that LaVine was a PG in high school.

I like Wiggins' upside and see him as a potential all-star caliber SF. He reminds me of Paul George. But I agree with Cam that Wiggins doesn't seem to have the stuff that will make him a superstar wing and I agree that LaVine is actually the better prospect. How nice it would be to have both.

If we get Wiggins we are sorted at the 1, 2 and 3 spots for the next 5 years with Rubio, LeVine and Wiggins. Add Dieng and Bazz to the mix and it would be exciting times to be a wolves fan, although probably a painful couple of years developing these guys.

I agree, Matt. And I wouldn't sleep on Bennett either. There's a lot of upside there.
