He’s really not even a good defender when he wants to be. He has great athleticism which helps him a lot but he lacks understanding, iq, and desire. Wiggins at this point is all dud. Not a good defender (which was his sticking point), not a good shooter, not a good playmaker/passer. If I’m minny I trade him this offseason before his value plummets.
That is a good point. He has the physical tools to be a very good defender and I have seen him defend in bursts well but he has never had the consistent and long term defensive success that you would expect from someone with his skill set. There is something wrong with the Wolves group of young players. KAT was a very good defender in college and has not been in the NBA, and doesn't seem to be locked into games.
yeah he just reminds me of just another long lanky wing coming out of college with hype. sure he has the ability to score but other than that, never really takes the steps to further develop all the other aspects into a real star type player. his own opinion might say hes that good but in reality he isn't. id actually say lavine has taken more steps as far as development as now there isn't much difference bw the two.
Their team lacks balance. It’s all shot creators and ball dominate players. Teague Butler Wiggins Kat All need the ball in their hands to succeed. They also have ball dominate players on the bench Rose Crawford Jones Brooks The only complimentary pieces are Bjelica Dieng Gibson I would call the clippers this off season when the extension kicks in and offer Wiggins for Beverley and Tobias. Players that will defend and succeed without the ball in their hand.
Wiggins. There hasn't been a player since Loul Deng that had so much manufactured hype surrounding him.
Honestly, and I know Kevin O'Conner has said this before and I have thought the same....but is Wiggins basically Rudy Gay? Players that "look the part" but really aren't elevating their game to be difference makers?
T-Wolves have blown a chance to sign Budenholzer by waiting too long to fire Thibs (if that's what they decide to do).
he should feel lucky that he is third option now, I'm not saying anything about future, just what he did this year
