We traded for Wiggins in 2014 while he was just 19 years old. From that day he took on a huge responsibility, being a go to scorer for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He did pretty darn well in his rookie season, averaging about 17 PPG and showed the kind of promise that had NBA franchises drooling.
With devastating dunks, quick speed, and damn near immeasurable athleticism, it was no surprise some people labeled him the Maple Jordan. Unfortunately, Wiggins could not manage to live up to the hype and promise of his early projections and he has struggled to find his game in recent years.
Today we traded Andrew Wiggins, he is no longer a Timberwolf. That said, he gave us 6 years and played damn near every game of those 6 years. Although there was a lot of a disappointment there were a lot of good times as well. All the amazing Wiggins dunks, the handful of clutch shots, those early yeas when he went to battle with some of the games best.
This thread is an appreciation for Wiggins the basketball player and person. He was a big part of this franchise for many years, he was a good dude, and he was our guy.
Thank you Andrew for suiting up nearly every night and for being good to the community.
