We can't read his mind so I'm just basing on development level. He could drop out at semester and play overseas.
We won’t get Wigginton for four years

Agree. I remember with Monte it was a "he needs to get an outside shot" and he did that his last two years...good that Wigg has a good base/start (if not GREAT).
If he can be both a shooter/distributer AND slasher...watch out. LOVE that we have him. And given the little I've seen him, seems to be pretty grounded and emotionally good (calm, but excited when appropriate).
If they both carry us to say an Elite Eight game their sophomore or junior years they will be gone because their draft prospect will be at its highest. Unless you're an elite recruit and your NBA prospect is already set, a deep run can do amazing things for your NBA resume.
Also they are both old for freshmen, Lard turned 20 in September and Wigginton turns 20 in March.
For borderline NBA early-entrants, familial situation often plays a deciding factor.
If Lard, over the next two years, can extend his current level of play from ~15 minutes a game to 25+ minutes per game, he'd easily average 15 & 10.
Actuary chart says 78% chance I'll be dead by then. So, not worried too much about it.
Haven't most determined that he'd have to play pg in the NBA? Therefore, alot will have to improve as far as his 'handle' and passing. Love his talent, but I don't think we need to think about it til after his junior year. And if we do, then that means a heck of a breakout year (LW and team) and then some his sophomore year, which we'd take. Everybody has to keep in mind, as does LW, how hard it is to play in the NBA, and how many great college players are not on NBA rosters.
I am thinking two years. Maybe three if year two does not meet expectations. He has too much talent to stay four years.
If we’re to put our head in the sand under the guise that mind reading is needed to truly know, I’ll say Wigginton will stay all four years.We can't read his mind so I'm just basing on development level. He could drop out at semester and play overseas.
That’s when he’ll be the most NBA-success ready. I mean, making it in the NBA as a 6’2 guard is tough for even fully developed point guards. I don’t see him running pg until his junior year, and I hope we add another pg by then.Reading the tea leaves isn’t for everyone. He’s alluded to wanting to leaving early. I didn’t take it as looking to leave without regard, but no mind reading is required to recognize guys with his billing often leave prior to what the basing it off of development level would determine.

He's going to be sharing the backcourt with a couple seniors next year. Strongly believe he'll see his junior season as a chance to take the lead with all the young incoming talent and maximize his draft status.

I think Shayok will be a starter.
He's a great talent and I'm pumped he's one of us but he has a long way to go to be NBA caliber player. If he gets to the point that he is deciding between returning for his senior year or to go to the NBA will mean we've watched 3 awesome years of bball from him.
I think most everybody is down with the...

...consensus for next year, so far.
Ive said it before but I think 2019-2020 could be one of the most talented rosters we've ever seen. If Wigginton leaves after his Junior year it very likely means incredible results not only personally for Lindell but collectively for ISU basketball. If we have a huge year and Lindell leaves early I trust Prohm will have the next great PG in the pipeline.
Sort of off topic but Hines feels like he needs to stir the pot over nothing.
