Would assume Wiggins numbers would take a hit if KAT went down...

Also Robert Covington is a converted post up player in college to a 3pt launcher. Uh yeah, the dude is most likely not creating his own offense. But he does do things that he is meant to do at an elite level...

Sean also said Wiggins was hands down better than Jabari pre-draft and now he's saying Parker should have been drafted before him.

Typical backtrack.

wiggins is actual hot garbage

dude has never been a beneficial part of the timberwolves in his 3 full seasons there, and it doesn't look like that's changing in his 4th


why they extended him 5 years / 144 million i'll never know


never even logged a ws/48 of .100 (league average) in his career (his highest is .069 rofl)
highest per is 16.5 on a season
horrendous defender
inefficient chucker on offense

and it's like dm said, he's the "third best player" (don't know if i would even say that) on his team with a best player mentality.


he's arguably the worst contract in the nba.

Not really a huge fan of Wiggins game either, but you would be hard pressed to find any GM that would take RoCo over Wiggins...

Also another prime example of why ROTY is literally a baseless award. Good for a player that achieves it, but its a generally flawed award.

Yeah I would agree

As a GM I wouldn’t touch him tbh. Bad defender, hasn’t really improved his game much at all throughout the course of his career.

Despite him being 22, he hasn’t proven that he has what it takes to be successfully built around, and if I’m not going to build around the player I’d rather sign a guy who knows his role and excels at what he does.

Well... He's getting touches and USG% which definitely shows Wolves consider him the 3rd best player...

But I do agree, like I've said I don't like Wiggin's game. I remember watching Ballislife highlights of him and Jaylen Brown. And one thing I noticed between the two, is that Jaylen was more willing to make more decisions, versus Wiggins who was more of a straight forward scorer.

According to advanced stats so far this season he’s right around the same tier as Teague, Dieng, Gibson and Bjelica, so it could definitely be argued that he isn’t the third best on his team. It’s a crime that he’s leading the Wolves in USG.
