Kawhi Leonard is an inch or two shorter, yet looks like a giant compared to Wiggins. Leonard is probably built 1/3 heavier. Wiggins has been a twig since he started. I don't see him adding any more mass until he's 40 and resting on his lounger in retirement. He's been in the gym since his rookie season, Wiggins isn't weight lifting averse like a Bjelica is. But it's not really amounting to any noticeable mass and weight.
The only way I see Wiggins increasing output is by the team doing what they did with Towns/Wiggins in 2015. Run every possession through them and they can each average 21-24. But even if they each average 30 pts on 45 possessions each that's only 60 points and we lose again. Because it doesn't leave much for others to pitch in with. Nevermind how good anyone else is. There won't be enough shots for them to help with. 29 wins in 2015, 31 wins in 2016. That's about the ceiling running that one two punch a few are asking for lately. Because it's more of a 1.25 punch with one of them rarely playing efficiently. If anyone remembers those days, we often had Lavine carrying a light load many nights trying to spark something off the bench. Wiggins could bring is possession efficiency up by relearning how to finish at the net (he's forgotten). But neither he nor Ryan appears to want him playing that way. I'm not rebuying tickets based on that fictional story. Going to need a better one. They at least have to start audibly explaining how they might be changing what he's doing. They haven't done that at all. So why assume it? Watch the Wiggins videos, he's above it all.
