We won’t get Wigginton for four years

[cyrocksmypants]

Not saying he leaves for the pros after this year, as I absolutely don’t think he will. But you can just see the talent just pouring out of him when he’s on the court. There were a couple of plays today and against Iowa where I just shook my head in disbelief at how gifted he is. It’s going to be really exciting seeing how Prohm works with him and gets him to harness it, but I just don’t see him being here all four years before he’s hitting on all cylinders (although I hope I’m wrong and his love for ISU keeps him here through his senior year!)

He doesn’t have enough pieces around him to take some of the attention so he will look great but not NBA ready. My opinion is he’ll be here for his Junior year and then have a decision to make.

I’m calling it now: Wigginton will lead ISU to a Final Four before he leaves, likely next year or the year after.

Agreed. In the meantime, gonna enjoy it while we can, because I think he’ll be a special one.

He's a freak, the growth from game 1 to today is incredible. I don't know that he's a one and done, but to think we'll have him for four years is pretty optimistic.

His passing is pretty poor right now, but that can be fixed. I hope we get three years from him, but we may only get two.

That driving reverse layup was something that most players could not do on their best day.

That was the one that got me thinking. Maybe @CycloneRulzzz can get a gif of it.

I have no idea when he’ll leave, but to be drafted he’ll need to show a good amount of improvement as a pg. He’s never really been a pg and it shows. I’m guessing it’ll take at least a couple years.

I'm going to enjoy these two years, and I'm going to try really hard not to be upset if he doesn't come back for a third.

He has a really nice shot, his passing will improve. I think he leaves after a break out sophomore season.

But probably this year.

At 6 2 pg is his NBA position. I have been pleasantly surprised by his shooting however. I didn't expect it so soon. The defense will tighten up when he plays tougher teams with good defensive guards but he also has the ability and strength to drive around and finish inside.

I think the only thing that may keep him from leaving this year or next is that he won't be the primary ballhandler until NWB graduates. I predict he'll stick around to have a junior year in the same vein as Monte's senior year, then head to the pros.

 

[FinalFourCy]

He has a really nice shot, his passing will improve. I think he leaves after a break out sophomore season.

Again, there’s a difference in leaving and getting drafted.

I honestly don’t see him passing NWB as a pg next year, but maybe he’ll be a combo guard by then.

Totally agree. He's going to have to prove that he can play PG in the NBA. Next year, he'll be more of a 2 with Jackson gone and Shayock playing the 3. The following year, he will be handed the keys as a PG. I don't think he leaves before that, but if he does and gets drafted, more power to him.

 

[JP4CY]

He can get just a tad sloppy with the ball when spinning/doing a fancy drive.
But, and this is a big but, the kid can elevate like I’ve never seen for someone his size. For a freshman he’s got a nicely developed body with some impressive looking arms. If he can clean up a little bit of that ball control, oh boy watch out.

 

[SoapyCy]

Let's see how he does against some better defense but yeah, he's good.

 

[NWICY]

He makes BB look easy. Even when his shot doesn't fall etc.. He just makes playing look effortless. It's going to be a lot of fun watching him grow and improve for however long he is at ISU.

I think we get two years with him. Will enjoy every game. I really didn’t expect to be this excited this year for our young guys
