Ron Adams on Andrew Wiggins
"I really thought he did a good job for us," Adams told The Athletic's Tim Kawakami on "The TK Show" podcast. "People always look at scoring or shooting. I didn't think he shot the ball very consistently from the perimeter. But good grief, he really showed himself to be a really, really outstanding all-around player. I was particularly pleased with his defense, especially on the ball. I just thought he did a really good job. And against the best players in the league, he really enjoys playing against them and actually picks his game up when he did play against those guys. I thought his floor game was good -- his passing, his penetrating."
"The sky's the limit for this guy. ... He walks onto the floor and he scores 20 points," Adams continued. "There are areas that he can get a lot better in, there's no question about that. I think he can rebound the ball better. He's got a nice perimeter shot, but he's got to groove it a little more, he's got to get a little more consistency in his delivery and, in my estimation at least, using his lower body into the shot. When he does that, he seldom misses. But he's been inconsistent on that."
"I was elated to get him into our program," Adams said. "I think he's a star player. I think he's gonna flourish with more shooting on the floor.
But I was personally really happy with the all-around nature of his game and what he showed in that regard more so that his scoring, even."
