Btw, that UK vs. UL game could potentially be not only the #1 vs. #2 team, and not only a very bitter rivalry, but also the past two national champions..
(funny that UK's top 10 on the depth chart never played against UL just two years ago during UK's championship run... all new guys)
Not many college guys on good teams average that. Kansas will have Selden and others that will require the ball get spread around. I'd be surprised if he averages 20.. even though I'm certain he could average much more if that were the goal.

I doubt he will. Like PKM said, rarely do you see good teams with guys who average over 20 ppg. There are too many other good players there, and Wiggin's games still needs to be developed. I wouldn't be surprised with anywhere from 14-17 ppg from him.
Durant averaged 25.
Carmello averaged 22.
This dude is suppose to be a superstar, rare is what you do.
It's not like Kansas has any returning Juniors who were prominent on the team. If Wiggins is as good as advertised he should be able to drop 20 per game, at least.

Durant and Carmello had above average shots. Wiggin's main strength is driving to the rack, which he is very good at. However, on the college level, the lanes are more plugged up and they typically play a little more physically because everybody sucks. Since Wiggin's can't shoot...actually, Kansas doesn't have too many good shooters, the lane is going to get plugged up and he won't be able to drive as well. It's going to be a difficult transition for him at first.
Durant was offensively further ahead and had less of a team than Wiggins will have.
I think most people know that Wiggins has limitless potential but also needs a couple more seasons to hone his offensive game.

Wiggins is overrated. He has the potential to be a star, but there are a lot of things he needs to fix with his game. People are hyping him a little too much.
Requires context. He's overhyped for what he could do today in the league. His upside/future is not overhyped.
I agree. Thought the same thing.
Look at these haters.
Wiggins is going to drop 20, calling it.

I'll give you the props if so..
**** you guys. Hyping Wiggins all up and **** as the 1st pick and he can't even average 20?
