    Finally found some info on Andrew Wiggins and man.. this kid is unbelievable. Chad Ford, and Jonathan Givony say if their is a next Lebron James.. that this kid has the ability.. and it would not shock them if he went number 1 overall in the 2014 or 2015 NBA Draft.


    He seems to have already drawn huge praise from scouting websites even as a 15 to 16 year old kid

    Andrew Wiggins


    [SIZE="4"[B]]NBA Comparison: Scottie Pippen[/B][/SIZE][/SIZE]


    [B][SIZE="2"]Strengths:
    [/B] A freakishly gifted athlete with a remarkably smooth offensive game ... Just about impossible to guard at this level, due to his athletic ability ... Can effortlessly glide around any defender that plays up on him ... Quick first step, and very long strides ... Explosive athleticism ... Once in the paint he either leaps over the defense for a soft runner, or throws down an electric dunk; either way, it's generally a high-percentage shot ... Has great size for either wing position, with a frame that is capable of holding a good amount of weight ... Long wingspan, recently measured at 6'11" ... Fantastic shooter on the perimeter ... Already has NBA range ... Quick trigger, with beautiful shot mechanics ... If the ball isn't in his hands, he likes to spot up in the corner, where he can get off an open shot on cut the baseline for an alley-oop play ... Also has the ability to create separation off the dribble for a pull-up jumper ... Good passing instincts and court vision ... Defensively, he gets a lot of deflections ... Uses length and anticipation to come up with a lot of steals and blocks ... Father played in the NBA ... Extremely young, and will only get better in time ...

    Weaknesses: Despite having immense skill and athletic abilities for a player of his age, there are still several concerns from people who watch him with regularity ... Looks complacent at times on the court ... Inconsistent motor ... Needs to add more strength, though his body looks very good for a player his age, and this shouldn't be a problem in a few years ... Ball-handling ability is unrefined, but has a lot of potential ... Doesn't display a lot of toughness and isn't a very physical player ... He's been receiving a considerable amount of hype on a multi-national scale since he was 13 years of age, which can derail the development of a prospect as it can lead to him trying to be a big celebrity instead of a great basketball player ...

    Overall: Wiggins has an unreal amount of potential and he'll be under the eye of every scout over the next few years ... Considered the top player in his class by most recruiting services, and has 1st overall pick potential whenever he enters the NBA draft ...

    Notes: Measured 6'7 (in shoes) 190 lbs, with a 6'11 wingspan at the 2011 LeBron James Skills Academy.

    Not many kids recieves a Scottie Pippen comparison in the 10th grade, and he will only get better, so he can improve his stock. I doubt he reaches the Lebron James ceiling that so many have pegged for him. But he really impressed me last night

    Well, Jellybean Bryant's kid has had himself a good career. Let's get Wiggins.

    Keep an eye on Nerlens Noel, a 6'10'' center weighing offers from Kentucky, Syracuse, and Georgetown. He's an absolute monster defensively, and will be the most feared shot-blocker in college hoops next year.

    It seems like Shabazz is the consensus #1, and Noel's name has yet to pop up in this thread. I think he's the most intriguing prospect in the '13 crop. ESPN has him rated as the top HS senior in America.

    He's #1 on draftexpress and draft room, #2 on walterfootball and prospectcentral, #3 on nbadraft.net.

    His name is not poppin up yet because 99% of this board know nothing about HS basketball.

    I think Noel is going to go #1 overall in 2013. That's why the Rockets need to do what I say in my sig just for a shot at Shabazz since "developing young talent" (read tanking) seems to be out of the question.

    Edit: Kevin Martin to Wizards for Blatche and their unprotected #1 pick for 2013. Blatche can actually contribute if he's in a more disciplined environment.

    i didn't see a single right-handed dunk in any of Shabazz's videos. hopefully he can learn to use it effectively.

    I think Shabazz will land at UCLA with Kyle Anderson.

    He looks more like Manu Ginobili in this clip than Kobe

    Size always trumps. I'd bet on Noel going first, even if Muhammad is a more productive player.
