And I have watched all of the above on a list other than Ming and Darko.
It might be bias from not wanting to be wrong when I first saw Wiggins. But, I dont think it is. Ive been in love with his game since he was a SO playing up a level. People forget he is young for his class. Just turned 19 right before the NCAAs, I believe.
He obviously has the physical gifts. I think he has the game. I just don't fully believe he has the killer instinct to be a superstar. He'll put up 16-18 and be a very good defender on talent alone, which might be good enough to put the Cavs over the top as a 3rd option, but I don't personally see him ever being a guy to carry a team to a ring.
Would obviously prefer to keep him, but if push comes to shove I pull the trigger to make the Love move happen. Even if he is the best prospect since Lebron, you have actual Lebron right now, and the Cavs gotta maximize the remaining window of him still being an unstoppable force in the league.
tl;dr, I'm tired of waiting for the future. It's time for the present.
