Gary Harris went off for 30. I really wish we could have traded to get that guy

He's going to be good, Volans, but I've changed my tune on the LaVine pick. Harris is clearly more NBA-ready and will contribute right from the start, but I'm drinking the kool aid that LaVine is a long-term home run.

I've heard a lot of good things about Tony Snell, it'll be interesting to watch him develop.

Does Andrew Wiggins remind anybody else of Harrison Barnes?

He's got a better chance of that than being the next LeBron

I think of Wiggins as a young T-Mac.

Andrew Wiggins is Paul George to me. While not a true superstar, most teams would love to have a Paul George.

Whoa! If your definition of true superstar includes only LeBron and Durant, then I agree. But he's in the next tier of players with Chris Paul, Westbrook, Curry, Dirk, Love, Melo, Davis.

Not to me he isn't. People got high on George too much too soon.

LeBron, Durant, Kobe (healthy), Paul, Rose (healthy), Love, Westbrook, Melo, Dirk and Duncan. These are the guys I believe are superstars in the NBA. Obviously LeBron and Durant are in a league of their own right now, but for the sake of grouping them, I stand by my list.

Harden, Griffin, Howard, George, Davis and Wall are in the next tier for me. Davis will be a superstar in a year or two, though. He's a KG-like talent. All he needs is time.

There's not a damn thing wrong with being a Paul George or any of the guys I said were a tier below, though. I just don't see Wiggins having the ability to truly rise the play of his teammates like the above 10.

I am watching the Cavs vs Spurs game, and man I want Wiggins SO BAD, Bennent is also playing very good.

Wiggins settles for a lot of jumpers.
