And in addition, probably a few first rounders packaged in. You lose those too.

So now Love is a guy that just hangs around the perimeter? He gets 13 long rebounds per game?
Here's another risk to waiting : what if Wiggins sees the floor and he plays like Ben McLemore last year for the Kings? Similar games. Decent stroke, ok handles but not really a good creator, a bit tentative offensively, very good athlete not quite sure how to use it. In that case, maybe Wiggins loses some of the shine of "#1 pick with unlimited upside!". That's not necessarily likely, but it could very well be a sell high situation right now.
