Let's say he goes to UK. How much time would he realistically get? Even if he is the best player on the team, Cal has to play the other guys, too. Is Wiggins so sure he's the number one pick the following year, whether he averages 12pg or 20? I can completely understand wanting to maximize your chances of winning a NC in your one and only college year. But, having a small role in that would sorta diminish the accomplishment for me. That said, it's not like Jordan won at NC in a vacuum... And the Fab Five wasn't diminished... Hard to tell what these kids are thinking and we'll never get a truly candid response from them.
But, re: Wiggins — I've only seen him in three all-star game scenarios. I have not yet been impressed. His highlight reel is spectacular. But, I'm not convinced he's not the next Felipe Lopez. Then again, I didn't see Lebron beating HS kids off the dribble, and that concerned me, sooooo... you know.
I think the Duke kid is the next Paul Pierce. And Randall is going to be fantastic. Did anyone see Karl Towns in the US/World game? Good lawd. He's immense and skilled. He might be the pick, over Wiggins.
