I was trying to figure out who I think has been this smooth right off the bat.Probably the most polished offensive player as a freshman that I've seen in a bit.
Wiggins at Kansas?

John asked him if he patterned it after Dirk on an interview they played at halftime tonight and he said not really. Basically said he started watching some of Dirks highlights after people started making the comparison, but he said he just started doing it and it felt good and he was making shots.Shorter Dirk is a closer comparison to a legend MVP if we must compare to top 10-20 players in history of basketball. Not just because they're both white. They have more comparable athletic ability, shot and same off balanced fadeaway, I'm sure Milan studied it. Just Dirk was a 7 footer which made it even more lethal.
He shoots a little like Bird. And he's about as tall as Bird. And he's white. That's about all the farther I'm willing to go at this point. I do like what I see though.
I think they'll have a tough time doing that with Lipsey and Gilbert on the floor as the lane will part like the Red SeaI'll be curious to see how teams guard him. Do they feel comfortable enough to double him and does ISU have the ability to really make someone pay?
Do teams try some sort of Triangle and 2 type of thing with him and Tamin?

That mid range fade away is a thing of beauty. First time he put one up I thought that wasn't the best shot selection. Nothing but net! He should touch the ball every possession and be given the green light every time he's open. Defense, rebounding, and passing look tight too. I didn't expect him to be such a good defender.
Dang things run so smooth when Tamin is on the floor. Plus he has added the outside shot. This team is so much fun this yr.I think they'll have a tough time doing that with Lipsey and Gilbert on the floor as the lane will part like the Red Sea
Milan chose ISU for one reason only - TJ. He showed Milan from the start of the recruiting process how much he believed in him and he never let up.How did the state of Wisconsin let this guy get away.
No way! Him and Lipsey being able to drive to the hoop is going to open things up for Milan. Take one away and we'll hit you with another. Gilbert looks great. Think we'll have 3-4 players..Lipsey, Gilbert, King, and Milan putting up some big offensive #'s this season. Curtis Jones at nights too. Lots of offensive threats.Yeah Gilbert may turn into a bit of a de facto as things move along.
My best friend growing up went to Marquette and I’m friends with all his college buddies. I’m on their MU basketball thread throughout every season. They all respect Iowa State’s program and how well we have recruited Wisconsin. Most are from the Chicago burbs but the ones from Wisconsin know the basketball history in the state and they fear TJ. One guy lives in Milan’s town, watched him play a lot in HS and he said last year that Milan was going to be a star at ISU.Milan chose ISU for one reason only - TJ. He showed Milan from the start of the recruiting process how much he believed in him and he never let up.
Bird and Dirk comparisons are high praise this early. Tell you who he reminds me of..Doug McDermott. Watch some of his college film and tell me Milan isn't close.All I know is Mrs. Momcilovic needs to request Larry Bird undergo a paternity test.
He’s good so the badgers didn’t want him.How did the state of Wisconsin let this guy get away.
Just be glad we have a solid team and good coaching around him so there is actually a chance to accompolish something while he is here.I was hoping we'd get Milan for 2 years, if he keeps this up into Big12 play, we won't
Come on now! He's at Iowa State, not KU!!Milan is an absolute stud. Big 12 Freshman of the Year
