Title: What if Wiggins is a bust?
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on November 05, 2013, 09:42:18 PM
Listen guys, I TSC for a living, but facts are facts. Andrew Wiggins aka lebron 2.0 aka Wilt the Stilt 2nd coming of Jesus, is only averaging 13 ppg vs D2 schools from Kansas. :frown: What if Self ruins another one?

OK, first off, Wiggins is our guy and a complete stud.

BUT, if you were going to do an analysis of how well every consensus #1 player did in his first two games, Wiggins numbers would probably be the worst ever.  However, that does NOT matter to us,because A) we love him, B) his teammates are rough ridin' dicks, and C) wait until conference time, bros.

Title: Re: What if Wiggins is a bust?
Post by: pissclams on November 06, 2013, 07:40:38 AM
This is like complaining about the star QB's stats when he played one quarter in pre-season NFL games. Sure Self is more concerned about vetting out the back end of the rotation with Duke around the corner. Pretty obvious with the minutes distribution. Maybe he should have made it the Wiggins show to get him on ESPN more, but I'm not sure Wiggins needs that. It was pretty clear that when he wanted to, Andrew could do whatever he wanted out there. That's what I took from the game. That, and we are very, very deep with talent and Mason is going to be a heck of a player for us for several years.

Post by: yoga-like_abana on November 06, 2013, 08:53:31 AM
I expect wiggins to put up huge numbers! BIGGER than Beasley did.
Beasley was surrounded by a cast of stud professional basketball players that took away some of his #s.

Wiggins has a cast of guys that are going to go pro in something else.
He is going to have to carry this team which means he will have some up and downs throughout the season..
but just like all cats he will always land on his feet.

Guys haven't seen the games, but is Self still a nervous wreck in games like these? 

Maybe not so much now, but when he first got to ku and a few games early in the season against inferior opponents (the kind that Roy's teams would just murder) were much closer than expected.   Self would look like he was about to toss his Salty Iguana lunch on the sidelines, probably knowing the outright demand for style points (I mean think about it, there were phogtucks openly questioning if Self was the guy back then). 

But yeah, I'm all in for #teamwiggins-give him the ball!!

With "Andy and the Blue Chips", you don't need offensive sets... You just roll the ball out there and let 'em play.

Also, that hair.  I'm as TSC as the next guy, but surely he can do something about that unkept 'fro with all the money they're paying him.  Amirite?

I just don't see any way he could possibly be a bust, especially when one considers all the hoops talent that has been developed in Canada over the years...

The list of Canadians to play in the NBA is a veritable "Who's WHO!?!?" as they hope that somebody comes along to supplant Nash as the greatest Canadian ever. 

http://www.tsn.ca/nba/feature/?id=554418022.html

Outside of Nash, I recognized exactly TWO names that I could put a face with and maybe another 2-3 that "sounded familiar".

that this years ksu team couldn't beat some YMCA teams?

We're just worried for him. We don't need another Selby result. He's only averaging 13 ppg against NAIA schools.   :frown:

#1 players in the country are never busts that attend blue bloods schools.  Just look at John Wall and Austin Rivers, they turned out fine.  Our guy will be ok, unless Self decides he wants to keep him there for another year, which I think he already has decided he wants too.  :frown:

Perhaps your reading comprehension isn't strong, but I think Wacky has a valid point.  We want this Canadian prodigy to succeed as much as the next guy, however at this point there is some legitimate concern that maybe he won't average 35 & 20 as we've been led to believe... 

At what point is he considered a bust?  30 & 15? 25 & 10?  That's where the concern lies as we want him to have tremendous success to make the entire state of Kansas look better in the eyes of the nation. 

With all of the media attention on what appears to be a Jordan/LeBron cyborg type athlete, I'd think that anything short of an undefeated national championship season would have to be considered something of a disappointment.

Rumor out of Lawrence is the Celtics organization has been in talks with Self about how he's been mistreating our guy Andrew. They said they didn't tank this season to get Parker, Smart or Randle, they tanked it to get Wiggins and only Wiggins. They knew about Self's plan to make Wiggins look so awful that he needs to stay another year and obviously, were not happy about it. I assume they offered Self a cash incentive, but obviously my source wouldn't speak about that.

Wiggins the individual is quite a bit bigger than the KU program right now.  I can see why Bill might get jealous

610 was having this exact discussion this morning.  Said that they spoke with Bill and he had said that the team has received all the pub of the national magazines with Andy on the front and how the marketing has been so huge and yet KU hasn't even had to spend a dime for any of it.  So, for those keeping score(Bill) Andy comes on campus and KU is thrown all the attention it could want, where Bill has to actually rely on a marketing budget that KU uses to pay ppl to pay attention to Bill.

Look, Bill may be able to shrug that off for a while, but there is a point where he won't be able to.  Question is, how long until then.  I am guessing it is only a few more 10pt games before Bill snaps and starts talking about how Andy isn't KU and how KU is bigger than any one player.  Which we all know that the idea that Ku is bigger than the single best college BB player ever is just ridic.  This program is Andy right now.  Andy is this program.

I fear for Andy.

'Stone, Andy is a completely different cat.  Sure, they have had some good players at KU whose career Bill has had to Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) but he has never had anyone like the best college recruit of all time Andy.

Despite the fact that young Andy is a far better basketball player than both Jordan and LeBron, I don't remember either of  them ever being on "cruise control".

Can someone make sure that KU has to get to Manhattan the night before their game here and they get super pak'd in Aggieville like they did in Dallas the day before the TCU game and have to play in the fOOD all hungover-like?  I think its our only chance.

They could spend all afternoon at the Ville getting pak'd and they would still walk into the gym that evening and beat us by twenty. No combination of circumstances could lead to a K-State win vs KU this year.

To be fair, a lot of the calls were :lol:. I turned it on at the 8 minute mark in the second half and saw about 10 straight possessions that resulted in free throws. Then a couple regular shots, then ten more possessions with free throws. It was awful.

Post by: wabash909 on December 01, 2013, 08:27:25 AM
honest ?  did beas ever have a line like wiggs did tonight?

Honest answer: Lol No.

The Beas was one of the most dominant players in the country as a freshman. His 26.2 points (third-leading) and nation-leading 12.4 rebounds were the most by a Big 12 player in any season. His 866 total points and 408 rebounds ranked third and second among all freshmen in NCAA history. He also led the nation in double-doubles (28), 40-point games (three), 30-point, 10-rebound games (13), and 20-point, 10-rebound games (22).

It's becoming clear that Andy is a nice two year player, but will most likely leave early and go play pro with Josh Selby in China.  For his own good, I hope he listens to Bill Self and Doug Compton and returns for another season.

It's just so rare for a freshman to come in and be an all world superstar of college basketball like Michael Beasley.

For his own good, I hope Bill and Doug can talk some sense in to him.

=====WEEKEND COMPARISON=====

OGF (Our Guy Foster)

6-13, 17pts, 2 assists     year AVG: 14
posterizers this year: 1
______________________________

Wiggins

4-14 14pts, 1 assits     year AVG: 15.9
posterizers this year: 0
______________________________

Breakdown: Foster attempted less shots and came away with two more makes and 3 more points. In addition when the team has had to lean on him he has stood up to the challenge whereas Wiggisns hasn't been able to (though to be fair its a lot to ask of a freshman.)

Foster is a steal and making me eat my words about oscar's recruiting (so far). Hopefully he can keep up the good work and drop some shots on lil bro next week. (Thomas is making me pretty :excited: too)

Guys, I'm pretty bummed out that Andy won't ever know the joy of winning in the fOOD despite ku's un-godly overall success rate in Bramlage.

 :cry:

Pretty sure Josh Selby is the only KU player in the last 30 years to not win in Bramlage. Very elite company he's joining.
Who is/was Josh Selby???

Apparently the #1 Point Guard in the country at one time who decided to go pro in something other than sports after high school

Looks to me like Embiid and Wiggins are both the better players, unless all you value is ppg/100.  Also, why does Wiggins get blasted for scoring 16 points on 4-12 shooting in a hostile environment, while Foster is forgiven for going 3-12 and scoring 7 points in a 26-point loss in AFH?  There's a complete double standard at work here.

NBA drafts on potential rather than performance because the performance I saw was the two of them getting clowned by a white kid from Overland Park who all KSU fans wanted off the team until like 3 weeks ago

Embiid will likely be a servicable backup/journeyman pro off the bench for a bunch of shitty NBA teams over the next 6-8 years, so I'll give credit where credit is due.

On the other hand, any team dumb enuff to draft our boy Andy will get what they deserve for being so dumb.  He'll get eaten alive by the NBA and become another trivia question answer, much like Selby.

I don't think anyone over ever claimed Foster was "Lebron 2.0". I think that's why they are picking on Andy..  Also, Embid is apparently brittle and a FP.  Also 2.0... Foster is a stud/boss

Here's the thing:

We're here as fans of college basketball.  When folks get excited about a HS recruit it's because of what they could do for their basketball team.  In that context saying one player is a better player than someone else solely because of where some jackoff thinks they'll be drafted is silly.  It doesn't put basketballs in the bucket and it doesn't put W's in the W column for the respective college programs.  Clearly Foster is a better college basketball player than either Wiggins or Embiid.  The stats are there to prove that.  And that makes me happy because I want the KSU Cats to win and be successful in college basketball. He has clearly exceeded expectations, and I think Embiid has, too.  But Wiggins has not.  He's not the 2nd coming of Jordan or Lebron.  He's a bust in that regard.  I'm not happy to say that at all, either.  Poor kid never had a chance to live up to the bill and the expectations.

Life lesson here, folks.  In the course of our lives, and often in the wake of unwanted developments, a person may become consumed by the possible - even likely - deterioration of our mortal coils.  But if and when that day may come, would you want to arrive there knowing you sold out the good times, wasted them for fear of the struggles which were then only mere possibilities?  No, no, you enjoy the present goodness and in the future let come what may.   We exist within the flat plain between two spools, one winding up the past and one unwinding the future.  No spoilerz!

He is 6'2 and he is not a point guard.   That is about 3-4 inches shorter than a normal shooting guard in the league.  Kinda similar to Pullen being only 6'0.  It's tough to be a 6'0 point guard and basicly unheard of to be a 6'2 shooting guard in the NBA.   So for now, I think it is a safe bet that Foster is here all 4 years

Durant and Beasley really ruined the expectation people have for highly rated freshmen in this conference.  Wiggins if fine, he's just no Durant/Beasley.

Neither Durant nor Beas labeled Andy the next Lebron.  They also weren't the ones to say that Andy was going to be better than Durant or Beas.  That was ESPN and KU.

Link?

And Sports Illustrated.

Wiggins is a fine player, and above average for a freshman player.  It's just that he doesn't come close to living up to the hype.  Wilt redefined basketball.  Beasley and Durant put up outrageous numbers.  We were told that Wiggins was supposed to do that stuff, and he just hasn't.  At all.

Guys, the draft projections I've looked at have Embiid #1 overall, like across the board. Now, its obvious he's hurt and Self is doing the right thing by sitting him out today. Thing is fellas, I don't wanna see him lose that #1 draft spot. It looks to me like he could only hurt his NBA draft status by playing. He just needs to shut it down and get healthy and declare himself pro, like, right now.

Can anyone think of a logical reason why this super stud should ever play college hoops again?

As far as I can tell, the only person wishing harm on another player is Embeed. That much is clear by his conduct.  Just a little karma that he got hurt.

Wiggins is hyper athletic, but his skillset needs development. I could see the Kings or the N.O. team (Seagulls?) drafting him, they both seem to really suck at the draft.

Wiggins is shooting 42% from 2pt in the Big 12.   For a guy who has the ability to get to the rim and gets some easy looks off KU fast breaks, that isn't that good.    I think it was Tom Keegan that said on the year, take away dunks (not layups) he is only 40% on 2 pt shots.
35% from 3pt and 75% from FT on the year.... those numbers are fine considering he is not a great outside shooter.

I think because of his length, he is a good defender but ave only 1.0 stl and .8 blk is a little surprising considering how athletic he is with those hops

KU had 53 possessions yesterday, which is the lowest in the Bill Self era.  Tech took the air out of the ball and didn't shoot it until there were less than five seconds left on the shot clock.  There weren't many opportunities for Wiggins to put up huge numbers, but he gave us his best overall game in a Jayhawk uniform and made a couple clutch plays down the stretch.  LOL at how many of you clowns are actively rooting for this kid to fail.

LOL at how many of you clowns are actively rooting for this kid to fail.

I personally don't want him to fail.  If Ku was 7-5 and Wiggins was ave 20 and 10, I would be a lot happier

My point is he put up 19pt-6reb-2ast.   I don't care how many poss. there were tonight.  I have seen studs put those numbers up in less than a half.    Parker for Duke is also a 6'8 talented freshman forward.   Over his last 9 games he is putting up 20.1 pts and 11.3 reb and has combined for 3 blocks/steals per game.

Since Jan 1, Wiggins is only a 46.1% 2pt and 34.6% 3pt shooter, and over that time his 16-6-2 averages are about the same as his full season ave.   Add in under 2.0 combined steals and blocks, I would say his stats are good.   A long way from great .

But I am glad for you and the other hawk fans that his 19-6-2 and last second hoop was his best overall game for KU.  It helped you beat a team that won't make the tourney by 1 pt.  Grats!

I happened to catch Steve Kerr on the Herd today at lunch and he said this year's draft looks to be the weakest it has been in the last 10 years... Parker is the only player in this class that come in and contribute 20 a game... Hopefully guys like Wiggins can figure it out in the D league and become nice players someday. 

Sorry, Andy.

Every time I watch ku play Wiggins is pretty unimpressive, so the announcers are usually relegated to talking about how great his "jumpiness" is and how he has a really high ceiling.

I wonder what his numbers would look like if he didn't get to shoot two every time he did a spin move, or if they actually called his "quick first step" travelling like they do for everyone else.

Wiggins, At 19, Has Been Timberwolves’ Best Player
It’s pretty rare for a rookie to become a starter in the NBA, but Wiggins has started every game with the Timberwolves in his first professional season. He’s living up to the hype, averaging more than 15 points and four rebounds per game. He hasn’t been afraid of the moment, meeting lofty expectations for a teenager.

It’s pretty rare for a rookie to become a starter in the NBA, but Wiggins has started every game with the Timberwolves in his first professional season. He’s living up to the hype, averaging more than 15 points and four rebounds per game. He hasn’t been afraid of the moment, meeting lofty expectations for a teenager.

Funny that KU fans bitched about his level of effort and tossed him under the bus for his year there.  True plantation mentality.

Self had the rookie of the year on his roster and couldn't make it to the Sweet 16?
