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.

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

So there's your answer Beems. T's and p's bro.

Marcus Foster is a nice little player on a nice little basketball team.

I think that when Embiid is 100% he's the best post player KU has ever had.

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.

It's hard to play basketball well with a bunch of bed bug bites. Nba scouts know this and are projecting that when they are out of Lawrence they will get better.

Wiggins is a poor mans Darko Milicic.

Until Monday night, I thought his name was Higgins.

Does anyone know for a fact his name is Wiggins?

The Iowa State Cyclones (15-4, 3-4) stayed close until the Kansas Jayhawks (16-4, 7-0) were able to pull away late in the game on January 29, 2014. The Jayhawks superstar freshman Andrew Higgins scored a career-high 29 points to help KU beat ISU, 92-81.

at the superstar part

Leave it to the University of Kansas to misspell his name on his jersey and try to confuse everyone.

So Marcus Foster is just as good as the projected 1st and 2nd NBA picks? oscar Weber took an unranked 3* athlete and did that. Self "did that" with top 10 recruits. I thought Self was supposed to be good?

Serious question, any shot Foster could be Big 12 FOTY if Embiid stays hurt and Andy continues to be meh? I mean, no, right? RIGHT?

embiid is the real deal. andy should be giving him a handjob every night because there's no way andrew would have his numbers if he had to fight though double and triple teams like foster does.

No. Why on Earth would you think that?
