Gift from the basketball gods, the next Lebron James...

[tgan3]

Andrew Wiggins, 15 yo in this vid. He is hailed as a "gift from the basketball gods" and the "next Lebron James" by sports writers. He seems more of a man amongst boys then Lebron at age 15. His already 6'7 with NBA athleticism. If im not wrong, Lebron was about 6'4 at that age..

Anyone hailed as 'the next', never fulfills their expectations. The media is dooming this kid just by putting that pressure on him. Have we not learned this yet?

This kid seems legit though. Keep in mind his only 15yo, he already has NBA height and altheticism.

6 foot 7 at 15 years old? Did he finish puberty by 9?

I think I had just broken 5 foot 6 when I was fifteen, and I was damn proud.

He's too much of a capable scorer to be compared to Scottie Pippen. If you look at the vids, he does have pretty good court vision for a wing and has some good handles and moves ala Lebron.

Then again when Deshawn was in highschool his comparison was Jordan. That website really sucks balls.

anyone with the last name of Wiggins isn't going to be superstar, sounds like some scottish hillbilly.
