Look inward Andrew, look inward.


If he's still been unaware all this time, it's also a mark on how this team isn't being real with their players day to day. Poor communication kills all. Letting players know where they are at and where they need to get to is the only way forward. Without that communication and honesty there is nothing at all. That probably goes for any position anywhere. Piss poor management is piss poor management. I don't care what the excuse. Does someone feel they can't talk to him? Is there a claim that he doesn't listen? It's all a weakness on management's part for not communicating exactly what is expected of him. If they are communicating that clearly, then it's up to him to pass or fail and be rewarded with minutes or have minutes stricken from him and he should be wholly aware of why the result is what it is because they just tell him. Of course, the minutes have never been taken away and we don't know what they actually talk to him about. So, why should we expect him to know until the day his name is thrown around in trade talks.


I can't blame the team for this. Andrew has access to the internet.


Are you kidding me with that remark? Now we expect the internet to coach and manage our players?

If I was an ultra rich sports player who spends over 8 hours in a gym or working out per day, I would choose outside life for the remainder of my day and truly I might avoid the internet like the plague. There will always be haters there to tear you down a peg or ten and maybe 10% of these people actually have anything constructive to say. Imagine weeding through the crap. I would avoid it.

“We look forward to him having a breakout year. He’s already in the gym and we feel confident about Andrew [Wiggins] in that sense,” Saunders said in an interview on NBA TV during the Las Vegas Summer League.

Would love for him to become a slightly below average player. :)

It's nice to hear, but what do you expect him to say. Wiggins is what he is and we expect him to continue to suck?

Yup. A coach has to say that, no matter what he thinks of the player or if the front office desperately hoped to trade him.

A lot of Wolves fans want them to say he's being moved to the bench

How freaking awesome would that be? Saunders would receive a lifetime contract from me if he told us how it is

I know that I'm one of the only ones but I'm excited for Wiggins this season. I think he is going to do great things this year under a new coach, a new pobo and a new system. I really think that people are giving up on him too early

Nope, you're not alone. I think he still has all the potential, he just needs to realise it himself and work on it.

If no other significant moves are made this summer, I think it's pretty clear that the plan is to force feed Wiggins next season like Flip used to do. He will be showcased to see if he can improve his value. If he puts up 25 ppg, maybe we can dupe some team with incompetent management like the Knicks, to trade us some picks at the deadline.

If he averages 25 ppg and shows heart I want him right here in MN

I didn't say those 25 ppg would come efficiently... think Carmelo Anthony.

Look at SL, the team's offense is going to be either shooting 3's or driving to the rim; Rosas isnt tolerating that and neither is Saunders

I don't disagree with that. Carmelo is a bad example because he lived on mid range shots.

What I'm trying to say is that Wiggs can put up 25 ppg on mostly drives and 3's, but it will be because of sheer volume as opposed to shooting efficiency.

I hope you're right about him, but I can see that he is basically the same player as he was as a rookie. If that makes me a hater, so be it.
