[Eric Cartman]

Fvck yeah! Hope they both stay, gonna be insane Rubio setting up those 2 for years to come. Both have all star potential, gonna be game over for the league soon, especially if they get another star this draft.

Can possibly be true.

[Dasher]

I'd say false. Neither of them is big enough or plays big enough to be Toronto Tracy.

[Eric Cartman]

I'd say false. Neither of them is big enough or plays big enough to be Toronto Tracy.

Wiggins is T-Mac 2.0, except without this:

I can see Lavine pulling a Marbury

[Sammyzuko]

I can see Lavine pulling a Marbury

Lavine and Marbury could not be more opposite when it comes to attitude.

[NugzFan]

Wiggins looks like the real deal. But lavine looks like a potential Gerald green-type role player.

True

You mean, pull a TMac since that is who we're comparing them to. TMac could have teamed up Vince to be a formidable duo and brought Canada to it's knees, instead he wanted his own team. And losing in Orlando followed, after numerous injuries to Hill.

Lavine is putting up 21/6/6 on 48/34/86 so far this month. I'm not saying he's going to be that type of player for his career, but if a rookie can put that up for 7-8 games in a row, they at least have the potential to do that at some point in the future, especially given that when you watch him play, he displays a world of talent even in his bad games. What will determine how good he gets will be how his decision making on the court develops. To the thread title though, I doubt he quite gets to the level of Toronto Carter.

I actually see them as a less talented version of Westbrook and Durant. Wiggins won't be as good a scorer, and in all likelihood Lavine won't be as good a scorer as Westbrook, but they'll have a similar play style and dynamic I think.
