Yea' Wiggins hype was otherworldly but he gets an awful lot of criticism for a 22 yo that averaged 24 as a second option. I would hesitate to give him a max with Towns on board as a top priority as well tho tbh. I'd wait to see how he played as a third option with someone like Butler on board before re-signing


If I was Wiggins, I would call Ray Allen and ask him how much money it would take for him to coach me this season. The T Wolves right now could have a very similar style of play to the Garnett-Pierce-Allen Celtics, but be even better. Wiggins would have to fill the role of Ray Allen though, Butler's game is already too developed and superior to most other players to change his role on a team.

The perception proceeds this game and their games in general, Wiggins isn't great but shouldn't be seen as lesser

The first two points are up for debate, but point number 3 is definitely correct Goph.

lol tbh, I still really like Wiggins. As someone who followed him since he was like 15 and expected him to be the next great Canadian hope, I'm just a bit disappointed to see his game be so one dimensional right now. But the guy is still young and has plenty of time to add more components to his game over the next few seasons. Wolves may have paid a lot right now, but they're doing what they can to lock up their star so he doesn't pull a Gordon Hayward on them just when the team is ready to contend.

Hopefully getting the money early doesn't cause Wiggins to stall in his development and he's a far more complete player 5 years from now when he's ready to join the Raptors.

yea' just don't understand how he's not a better rebounder or defender than he's shown with his sz and athleticism. Hope he can do a little more of both next year

Wiggins has the height of a SF, but weight of a PG. If he can get some muscle on him, move to SG, become great at catch and release shots, and focus on defensive fundamentals (something Thibs is amazing at) then Wiggins has the potential to be a perennial all star.

That's not much to ask of a #1 draft pick, he's already shown much progress. Thibs knows how to get the best out of many players. Gotta give the T Wolves credit for making good moves.

Didn't realize he was still around JRich's weight, he looks at least 220 or 30.

Fultz was going to be centre with the ball until they found out he picked Kobe over Lebron.
