His role has been upgraded and he shows that he performs a lot better in a bigger role, he is not a role player like Thibs wanted to transform him.
Give him the ball and give him screens in order to run the offense and he will have many options to score or pass the ball after blowing the defender with his first step.
I believe he has the ability to produce more and to take more responsibilities.
When he gets around 70 touches per game I think we will see the real Wiggins and what he is really capable of

I think Wiggins has shown improvement but if he’s getting 70 touches a game, this team is staying in the lottery

I don't think that there is a better perimeter player for the Wolves than Wiggins, so I think that the ball has to go to his hands as often as possible.
And I think that Wiggins as much more involved is, the better he plays.
In the last game he had 78 touches and he had 30points, 6 assists. The offense worked well with Wiggins, we lost the game from defense

Wiggins is playing better, no doubt. TRADE HIM!!

Hopefully he continues to build upon each game getting better and more confident with each game all season. One day maybe even getting to the point where he's moving around at full speed and doing these things well out of second nature. Maybe in the 7th year.

I am now totally convinced. Wiggins is one of the 100 best players in the NBA.

For Wiggins that is 7 straight decent games which include 2-3 truly excellent performances.

Decent most of the time and great some of the time. Sign me up for that.

Caught bits and pieces before the 4th, but saw two really nice passes to Layman when driving to the hoop that haven't been part of his great scoring games in the past.

It looks to me like he's trying to evolve into a 21st century Iceman. All the finger rolls and spins are really reminiscent of George Gervin, though to his credit Andrew has added the 3 point shot. The new offensive scheme really seems to play to his strength by clearing out the paint more, hopefully his success continues. He's always fun to watch when he's on.

Wiggins with 97 touches in this game. He would have to play 3 games under Thibodeau in order to get the ball so many times.

I think that the Wolves should consider to move him to pg position.
I have always said that he needs to move from sf to sg. The reason was not to have height advantage over the sgs but in order to move from the corner and get the ball more times and in the center of the court.
Now with his improved handles, I think he may better stay at pg position. Or to share the sg and pg position with another player(Beal for example would be ideal).
I think that Wiggins is a better player than Simmons, he is faster, more explosive and better shooter. If Simmons can play pg, Wiggins can play for sure.
He is a player who does not demand the ball, he needs to play in a position that the system requires from him to take the ball.

Only thing missing from his offensive game right now is the Peach Jam dunk action!

Without Wiggins, we'd be 2-6..man is clutch this season

So we all agree Tom Thibdueo was a terrible coach and holding the team back?

But he gave us first playoff appearance! Top4 offense! It was KAT and Wiggins who were holding team back!
