When I am comparing Rudy Gay and Kawaii Leonard, I was reffering to their games BEFORE they enterend the NBA, coming out together

GM's in general, will always take the player with greater "potential" in hopes of being able to correct and fix the bad habbits and have a "super star" to fill the seats and have a franchise talent
The NEXT Jordan, the next Lebron, and so on...

My point is, what isn't weighed in on the potential of a player are the stuff we do not have the information on
We would have no clue of the character of these inviduals possess that youtube highlights will not show
How and if a player develops, including their ceilings, may or may not be reached, however, 9/10 GM's will go for the higher potential player

Just like the last draft, with Wiggons and Jabari Parker
Jabari Parker was by far the better player when compared to Wiggons and Parker also had a NBA body already though both still needed to do some work
With that said, Wiggons upside is still much higher, especially with his length, though he will have to add much more weight/strength with his ability to jump/length/big hands that has over Parker
Wiggons has the ability to defend more positions where as Parker is going to be a SF/PF, while Wiggons could be a lock down defender and be able to defend 3-4 positions in a couple of years

Honestly, had Wiggons stayed in Cleveland and Lebron did not return, I do not think he would have had a BIG CHIP on his shoulder as he does now
The idea of being the #1 pick and then being mentored by Lebron, then being shipped out by the guy you idolized growing up for Kevin Love certainly put a chip on his shoulder

Now Kawaii is a very good player right now but playing for a system like The Spur's, Poppavich and their staff, and learning of veterans that provide leadership and slowly handing more responisblities as they aged surely helped

His role was defined the second he was drafted by the Spur's (or traded or whatever you want to call it)
The attention was never on him as he worked hard on his weakness but continued to work on his strenghts at the same time
How hard a player works and if they develop cannot be predicted, however, under the mentorship of Poppavich and his staff, the veterans on the squad, and the chemistry, unselfish basketball was already established and he had no choice but to continue an follow it

Who knows if Kawaii would still be the player he is today had he not been drafted by The Spur's....
Would he have been that role player that was drafted too high before Klay Thompson? It is a realistic possiblity this could have been true if he was drafted by The Knick's
Cause history tells us our coaching staff, development staff, and lack of mentors/leadershp/chemistry/ is completely horrible here
