The more I hear about Huntington (W.Va.) Prep standout Andrew Wiggins, the more intrigued I become with just how good he might be regardless of whether he stays in the 2014 recruiting class or switches to the 2013 class as many Kentucky fans hope he will.
Regardless of his class, some basketball analysts speculate that he might be ready to play in the NBA right now.
“That probably depends on what they define as ‘play,’ but there are 30 teams that would gladly take him on their roster just for safe keeping,” said DraftExpress.com’s Matt Kamalsky.
The draft analyst says it’s not hard to explain what makes Wiggins, who seems to be favoring either Kentucky or Florida State, so special.
“Consistent improvement in the substance of his offensive skill level growing to match crazy athleticism. Started making midrange shots more consistently, making his ability to go wherever he wants with the ball more impactful,” Kamalsky said. “Ballhandling coming around. Doesn't necessarily jump any higher than say, Gerald Green, but is in that echelon and elevates as fast as any athlete you will ever see from a standstill.
“You'll see what I'm saying when you see him in person. It’s incredible stuff you can't teach combined with increasingly functional skills. He's as much the number one guy in his class as (Anthony) Davis was in his.”
