wiggins is undecided, he is the son of an nba'er (mitch wiggens) and a silver medal olympic medalist track and field athlete. so you can imagine he has some pretty ridiculous genetics, and it shows. he is touted as like the best athlete since lebron; hes not as strong or big as lebron but he looks like hes as fast on tape, and he can shoot. strength is something im sure he'll develop with time, hes 17 ffs.
right now he's between kentucky, unc, and FSU. i think duke, ohio state, syracuse are now off the table last i checked a few days ago. FSU because his parents are alums, and UNC/Kentucky. i'm guessing he chooses UNC, mainly because FSU is god awful and kentucky has commits already from two of the other best wings in the class in andrew harrison and james young.
parker is committed to duke, he had a foot injury earlier in the year and apparently struggled with anxiety issues but is close to derrick rose (who also went to simeon prep). parker is more compared to melo/pierce, way more nba ready than wiggins, with a more developed skill set. he can cut and pass really well for a wing, his shot is way more developed than wiggins. he lacks in athleticism but only compared to wiggins really, hes a fine athlete for the next level.
unc/duke between parker and wiggins is going to be something special, if only for a year.
that class just has some insane talent; wiggins, parker, randle, gordon, harrison twins, young, vonleh, dakari johnson. all of those guys are going to be so ****ing good.
