The thing I like about Wiggins success is that it looks reasonably sustainable. First, with the Wolves new offensive scheme the lane has been a lot more open for him than it ever was under Thibs, so his ability to drive is looking pretty good so far this season (he only needs to beat one guy to get to the basket instead of having to fight through 2-3 defenders every time). Second, cutting down the extremely inefficient long 2s was always going to give a major boost to his TS% and it has, I only hope he goes a step further and cuts another 5-10% off his shot attempts between 10ft-3pt line. Third, his passing looks significantly improved and if his teammates could hit wide open shots at even an average rate he would probably be averaging 2-3 more assists a game. Finally, his defense has been decent to the point where I don't consider him a liability on that end. Basically, he's had a good start to the season even though his shooting hasn't been particularly great which gives me a lot of optimism that his success isn't going to rely on hot stretches like it has in past seasons.
