I think WBs game just translates better to the NBA. WB has advantages in speed, hops, outside shooting, and unselfishness/not forcing things. CS is clearly stronger and more aggressive, but those traits may not help him nearly as much when trying to become a successful NBA role player guard. We'll see for sure how NBA teams rate them tomorrow night. And we'll likely have to wait a few years to know for sure whether either can make it in the NBA. I think WB should be able to find a niche as a backup PG. CS, I'm not so sure. The main advantages I see for CS is the size/ability to play both guard positions and perhaps better at getting to/finishing around the basket. CS also has shown some very good instincts/basketball smarts, although WB isn't bad there either.
