Will Kelly Oubre Be Better Than Andrew Wiggins?

Andrew Wiggins had a season full of up and downs at Kansas this year. He averaged 17.1 points per game, 6 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block. Wiggins had his load of good and bad games, like 41 points against West Virginia and 3 points against Oklahoma State. Wiggins remained a top 3 NBA Draft prospect although his year wasn't that great. Wiggins' athleticism and potential kept him at the top of the draft board. Wiggins was immensely hyped coming into Kansas, but his only season wasn't like what most analysts thought it would be like.

Kelly Oubre will overtake the Kansas starting small forward job. Oubre is a better shooter than Wiggins was in high school, and his success should translate to the college level. Oubre isn't quite the athlete Wiggins is, but Oubre powerful and quick off his feet. Oubre can score any way he needs to, and he is also a strong distributor and rebounder. Oubre's combination of scoring, rebounding, and passing make him more of an all-around threat than Wiggins. The lefty Oubre should be able to get to the line and make more free throws than Wiggins did.

Wiggins Stat Line: 17.1 PPG, 45% FG, 34% 3-FG, 78% FT, 1.5 APG, 6 RPG, 1 BPG, 1 SPG
Oubre Predicted Stat Line: 20 PPG, 43% FG, 38% 3-FG, 85% FT, 2.5 APG, 5 RPG, .5 BPG, 2 SPG
