Get a life.

Really rich of you to say get a life haha.

OP certainly has a point. Wigness has the same flaws in his ball handling he's had for a while.

I think you make some very valid points, especially when compared to Daniels or Bayles. Wigness struggles to even control his dribble half the time. It's not nitpicking as it's fairly evident for most educated viewers to see

I think I speak for a vast majority of regular users on here when I say you are the absolute last person to be telling anyone to get a life KR.

Absolutely appalling performance against Turkey! Outplayed by Daniels, Bayles, and Galloway. Turkey play Mali next, and will obviously finish Top 2 in our Group. VERY DISAPPOINTED. How the heck did we lose to Turkey, if they got pummelled by the US? That game was so dreadful to watch! Wigness played 19mins, 0-3 FG's, 0-1 3PT's, 3 TO's, 2 Fouls, 1 REB, and 1 Assist, with -11 rating. Isn't he captain of the team?

What does Wigness beast mode look like?

I'm not having a dig at the young fella but will he stuff the stat sheet or just have large numbers in one category ?

I think you make some very valid points

His upside is limited by his size, and seeing as he's 5'9 and he's done growing, hasn't got any quicker, hasn't added much to his game, he's very much reached his peak as a player. It's a tough thing to say of a 19 year old but it's true. As everyone grows around him, and he goes further and further into adult leagues, there's going to be little he can do to off-set the growing advantages other players will have. His ceiling is a back up NBL point guard. At his height you need to be freakishly good at something to make a big dent in this game and he isn't that.

Because he was probably so quick at a junior level he didn't need to rely on a steady shot. Unfortunately what I saw of him at the Bullets this season he seems development player or at best end of bench standard in the NBL.

Lemanis made a number of seriously head scratching decisions in his time at the Bullets.

Was highly touted at 14 or 15.
Since them Daniels, Giddey, Proctor and Bayles have all overtaken him.

Would be foolish to write off someone who is only 19 but I too see him as a career nbl backup at this stage.

Anonaball...

Easy to bag the F out of a kid who has probably achieved more than you ever will under an anonymous post

The game against Turkey was.... interesting... to say the least. What I saw was one team, the Aussies, with by far more length and athleticism than their opponent, but just got outplayed by a smarter team that played like a team. AIS and COE were apparently known for their player development and making smart, savvy team players but that wasn't really what we saw last night.

The lucky thing is with that kind of length and athleticism it isn't nearly as hard to make ballers out of those kids than kids without those attributes.

As for Wigness, his main probably is he's 5'9. I could see a future where he's a back up point guard, maybe Asia Cup level Boomer. But he's beyond short for a basketball player. He has far less room for failure than do other players. I do hope I am wrong. I'd love to see him excel. But sometimes you just draw the short straw genetically. I mean, he'd be the smallest current player in the NBA by a fair margin if he were to make it that far, wouldn't he?

I'm sorry but what? Some of you are softer than snowflakes. OP made valid, non-judgmental points yet some of you are hating on him for expressing an opinion? Shame. Wigness is an adult and he allegedly wants to be a professional baller. He *should* be judged on his game. He's shown very little despite every opportunity. He legitimately struggles to dribble the ball.

When you guys get a horrible tasting soy latte from the SJW cafe do you continue giving them your money or do you go elsewhere?

Now you're just making it up Kobe. I don't care for Perry that's not who the thread is about. Almost like you're protecting him or something...

I've scrolled back up to the OP and you are correct. It says "pies", not "donuts".

My bad.

I think Wigness should go to the end of the bench.He can't create a shot and passes on reflex not vision.
My Pont guard would be Armstrong.
Wings Bayle's and Daniels.
Bigs Gak and Dengdit.
Coach needs to rethink the rotations in my opinion.

Well Coach did try to address the rotations but it sure looked like the players were not engaged.
They certainly got schooled on how to play,again by a Euro team.
Maybe we are not thinking enough about the style of play needed to do well at these tournaments.

Bit unfair to bring Butler into this, she had the gold in her hand until one of her studs did the dumbest foul ever and she ended up with silver


Very Very True but she was trained that way from 14s on by her coach and the VJBL let her do it without suspension, that was the biggest Karma bite I have ever seen
