So we are just going to crown Embiid now? He's 15 games into his 'second season' after only playing in 25% of his first. Let's give this guy 250 games played before we say he was the better choice over wiggins. (If he stays healthy and gets better it won't be close)
Wiggins hasn't looked like the next lebron but he's been good and gave the Wolves something to be happy about during our rebuild. If Wiggins is your third best player your team is doing well.
Wiggins isn't good though, he's so incredibly overrated...
He was the worst defender in the NBA last season, a total liability on that end of the floor.
He's a volume scorer, who is also one of the worst rebounders and passers in the entire NBA.
He's athletic, and puts on some athletic finishes and occasional hot games with a lot of shots. His Real Plus Minus is very deep in the negatives, (as I mentioned 292 players in the NBA have a better RPM than Wiggins). The Wolves are BETTER when he is NOT on the floor.
The name is still giving him his glory, and yes he's still young so there's certainly room for growth but HE HAS NOT IMPROVED IN THE NBA YET. Four years in, and this guy is the same player with the same flaws....

Embiid could stay just as good as he is now and Wiggins wouldn't even be able to sniff his jock strap...
Let's just stop there. Not even comparable.
