It's absolutely the right time to talk how Andrew Wiggins is still an average basketball player

[Malta]

Crazy to think if he develops a constant three and sharpens up his handle

Dude can get to the rim at will

The thing people are missing, or just haven't noticed is that the handle wont hold him back much because of two things -

- He's developing a really nice post game, jump hooks, turn arounds. Once you have that you don't need to dribble drive as much because you can get deep penetration out of the post.

- His post game is made even better by the fact KAT can operate in the high post, they were doing that last night and it gave Wiggins an attack at the rim with no shot blocking to stop him cause KAT was out top.

Meh, id have lavine coming off the bench,they need a guy who can knock down the three

Wiggins, Towns, Lavine, and whoever comes in this year's draft together should be more than enough to become to a top 3 team in the west by the end of this decade

 

[Malta]

That's average according to @Eye Cue 182

 

[Miggs]

Hologram Flip would be proud...

 

[im not you]

what if the wolves win the lotto again and cop simmons

simmons guarding PF's and running point, just throw bricky to the bushes

they need a 3 point guy, a point guard, and a coach.

2 out of 3 gets them into the playoffs next year.

I want them to get Thibs, you couldn't ask for a better situation as a coach, an inside-outside center that looks like a generational big and a potential superstar wing that plays off the ball, in addition to secondary players like Dieng, LaVine and Shabazz.


The Warriors got a taste of the future last night. It's the Bucks & Wolves moving forward, crazy how talented they both are.

DEADLY. Yesterday was the first time they really did this and it was fantastic. It looked so easy. Wiggins was just sitting there shooting warm up 5 foot hook shots.

Karl and Wiggins are perfect complements

They finally figured out how to use Wiggins, they were doing it with Bjelica on the floor too, anyone that can give him some space to operate in the post.

What I like about Wiggins is that he's not ball dominant, he's getting his in the flow of an offense so all the talk of his handle is overblown. It's like people want him to be LeBron, out there running high PnR when that's not his game.

Flip was cooking

Dude took the model the 76ers were trying to do and traded a stat stuffer to complete a deadly young team. Even WITH Anthony Bennett being a complete bust. If dude was even a role player it would have been even crazier.

I was annoyed a few weeks ago at the lack of post feeds wiggins was getting this year compared to last year but its honestly helped his perimeter game.

If yesterday was a preview of how they will utilize him going forward.......

It was like a perfect combo of rookie wiggins and sophomore wiggins + the vast impact of rookie towns. Its hard not to get ridiculously excited about this team has a basketball fan.

Defensively Wiggins played the best offball defense ive ever seen him play. If they could get Thibs like you said, they'll make the playoffs next year

Yeah, they also used that lineup that gave the Warriors a lot of trouble -

KAT
Wiggins
Bazz
LaVine
Rubio


The Warriors couldn't cover KAT and unlike a lot of other big men, they couldn't expose him on defense, he was too big, too mobile and too skilled for them to take advantage of. He opened up the floor for Wiggins a lot, their skills don't overlap and they can play off one another, the Wolves won so big with those two.

They abused the lineup of death
Granted they werent at 100 but still.


They werent ready for a cat like KAT
They really did. Why couldnt it be for my lakers. We stuck with a snitch and Julius freaking randle as future building blocks .
In the end , Im just happy they ended up on the same team. Their chemistry during the 2014 Nike hoops summit had me like. It was meant to be

Shooting 44% from 3 post all star
