Somewhere along the line it seems it became acceptable to talk about Wiggins like he's a complete project.  "Wasting Lebron's prime", "He might be a star in 3-4 years", etc.

Who says he needs to be a star for Cleveland to win?  They have the biggest star in the game, and another potential star.  He just needs to play well within his role.  It's really difficult to win in year 1 of a team that hasn't gelled yet and where most of the key guys have never played in the playoffs.  But who says they can't win a title with Wiggins playing a big role within the next 2-3 years?  I don't see the rush.  Minnesota wants a lot for Love.  They probably aren't panicking and trading him before the season to anybody else.  I think the Cavs should see what they have first.  See how good Wiggins is right now, see if the big guys they have now are good enough to win with, on this particular team, see if Bennett is the player they thought they were drafting, etc.  They might  be good enough with what they have over the next few years.

Back to Wiggins...I think Carmelo and Durant may have set the bar too high to where any highly touted freshman who doesn't completely dominate gets written off a bit.  Maybe he didn't meet the too high expectations, but he still averaged 17 and 6 on 45% shooting as a freshman, had a 41 point game, 30 in that Ok. State game, etc.  It almost seems like he's getting underrated now.
