Wiggins was having an all star year until recently (i.e. the past month and half). I've watched most Wolves games, and I'm not gonna lie, his defense is in a slump, and he's starting to become passive. But give it some time, he'll be a superstar one day. You'll see...

Bro its not hate. Just observation. I think he's a good player. I really like his postgame (should use it more). I just don't see the skill with him. I don't care for his PPG, I wanna see what he does on the court. He's not difficult to stop.

All I'm saying is that I don't see him being a generational talent like people were saying.

Agree with you. For his age, he has a REALLY good postgame which he should use way more often. He's already one of the best at getting to the rim, picking up fouls, etc.
His free throw percentage is something he really needs to work on as well. If he was a 82-87FT% shooter, he could easily average 23ppg+.
He has A LOT of room to grow, no excuse for him to be averaging like 3-4RPG as well. And on the defensive end, he has the potential to be one of the best stoppers in the league.
Just give it a year or two, he'll start to show people why he was once labelled a generational talent.

Watching the Magic this year is giving me some serious "organic growth" flashbacks.

Nice backdoor play by Warriors earlier

It's truly astounding that Kawhi is making a case for MIP, DPOY and MVP all in the same season. That's freakin' remarkable.

I feel like everyone used to talk about Curry theoretically being able to step back and shoot from well behind the 3 pt line, but now he legitimately does it. Like 4-5 feet behind. That's stupid.

Ridiculous finish by Steph

I think he will be shooting from basically half court soon and we won't bat an eye

Last game against Indiana he made 2 half court shots in 1 game at the buzzer. One counted, one didnt.

Not a smart idea by Klay to help off of Green

He did it the other night! There was a vine of it. It doesn't seem to be displaying too well for me though.

Parker is a huge liability on defense right now

Warriors do such a good job of helping. Steph full fronting Kawhi and Dray automatically knows to shade baseline for protection against the lob over top or baseline spin.

Clementine9 · Post #1919 » by **Clementine9** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 3:55 am

Love Kawhi's one legged step back a la Dirk.

Spurs choking hard against the warriors. 5 turnovers in 5 minutes leading to 12 warriors points. Yikes!
