The Raptors and the 2014 Draft

[mcHAPPY]

Jalen Rose just compared Andrew Wiggins to DeMar DeRozan on his podcast.

Says, Wiggins upside is T-Mac. But right now he sees him as a DeRozan type of player.

Was he talking offense? If so, alright, I can accept that.

If he was talking total player, including defense, Jalen got this one W-R-O-N-G..... in my humble opinion of course

He was saying the WORST he would be is DeMar

Why should anyone take offense to DeMar comparisons especially the way DD has played lately?

I don't see the Wiggins/DD comparison at all...they aren't in the same league physically, defensively or open court wise. Even half court Wiggins uses screens to get into the paint whereas DD still can't in his 5th season

It isn't that it's offensive, it's that it's inaccurate. Or, I suppose, it's the inaccuracy that's offensive and not the comparison itself.

Although let's be real, it's an offensive comparison. I know who Demar is as a player, and this is not him:

Jalen probably just trying to get some hits on his podcast. As usual, mention any Raptor and things go a bit crazy.

forget about the obvious differences in defense and overall game. anyone that tells me wiggins shooting stroke is similar to demar did not watch him when he was younger. demar was smaller with a better motor but he was nowhere as good as a shooter. we knew he was work in progress when we took him.

Wtf lol

i love DeMar but Wiggins has much more raw talent than him. He's also a much better defender

It's a "worst-case" comparison, and a pretty damn good one at that.

I'll take a flyer on a player whose floor is DeRozan.

Tyler Ennis with another good game for the Orangemen. 10pts 4rbs 9ast 5stl. Would love to see him in a Raps uni. He's a GREAT player.

Fixed. We don't know what he's going to be at the NBA level yet.
