What a colossal load of shit that is. These pro prospects are already basically forced into a system that completely exploits them and you want them to participate in multiple years of it while risking millions of dollars at the same time? For what? So you can bitch and moan for hours on end about them supposedly not caring if they have a bad game at the wrong time? Hilarious. These kids have their livelihoods to worry about like everyone else in the world. They don't owe anything to you.

You can't have it every which way, he's a phenomenal talent, who isn't mature enough to contribute when it matters, and YES the NCAA tournament is when it matters, Self himself said and says so, but it's OK because he's a kid and he feels bad, but it's also OK that he's leaving before he matures because he's gonna get that NBA scrilla, yo.

Wiggins was plenty mature enough to contribute when it mattered. He did all season long as this team's best player (at least when Embiid wasn't on the floor), including on Friday. He came up huge in hostile road environments when practically everyone else was shitting their pants due to the pressure of it. That doesn't mean he's not capable of a bad game, though, nor does it mean he doesn't care today or didn't give an effort. You're completely out of touch if you think otherwise.

And though I stick with Self, I also put that failed 1'n'done gambit on him, not Wiggins. He picked a shitty approach for how he coaches. Learn, and move forward.

There's nothing wrong with recruiting "one and dones." It won a NCAA title two years ago for Kentucky. It helped KU have another good season and conference title this year after losing all of their starters from last year. And it's likely going to help plenty more teams next year including KU with Cliff.
