Another 3 level scorer with a nasty handle and knockdown shooters.

Let them sleep.

dude looks like shyt, and the ball sticks with him tryna iso and "survey" smfh

it's like Oubre never left

Stop it

Wiggins is here for defense, he'll get you 15 points
That's what we need from him. He's just not a scorer playmaker like that

 

[MostReal]

This is why I keep saying he doesn't fit the identity of the team, and needs to go. It's why whatever points he does score gives a false reading of his play, because they typically come at the cost of the offense not flowing properly whenever he touches the ball. He's the oil in the water of the Warriors offense.

You can see the difference when Poole gets the ball; he's making quick decisions, and if something isn't there he gives it up and relocates.

Wiggins is on the squad for defense
Poole ain't playing no defense

with all the spacing on this team Wiggins needs to be an aggressive cutter to the rim, he can get an easy 8-10ppg just off of that

Wiggins' defense is only good in a 1v1 setting; he rarely ever contributes to actual team defense. And he's not just on the squad for that, the Warriors traded for him to be the 2nd/3rd option, which he's never going to be if they have any hopes of winning a title.

It's been evident for a while now he just doesn't fit the team.

He's taking up too much of the cap just to provide defense.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

If Poole can show that he's for real, he'll eventually overtake Wiggins in the pecking order on offense, and then with all the other shooters on the team that'll demand touches, especially given it looks like the Warriors will be living outside of the arc, Wiggins will end up being the odd man out.

They can't be paying 30+m for someone that has no definitive place in the team. Trading him is the only option.

If he overtake wigs in pecking order when Klay comes back Poole will have the green light as the 6th man… Might as well swap wigs for Simmons lol

Between Steph, Klay, Poole, OPJ and the rest of the role players, there'll be enough perimeter scoring. What they're lacking right now is versatile big defenders that can guard 4/5 - Draymond is essentially the only one. Rebounding and playmaking is also a requirement. And they have to be able to play in small-ball lineups and traditional.

Simmons or Siakam fit that description.
