Wiggins has been pretty good for them...defense is right up there with butler


I haven't watched enough of the Warriors to have a good read on Wiggins' improvement but I know he's gotten better. I still don't think he's Butler who has a long track record of clutchness.

He was REALLY good defensively this season
Top defenders this season by defended field goal percentage with a minimum of 200 DFGA:1. Mike Conley - 38.1% (86/226)2. Andrew Wiggins - 38.5% (141/366) 3. Jakob Poeltl - 39.3% (137/349)4. Kevin Durant - 39.3% (90/229)5. Jamal Murray - 39.8% (86/216) pic.twitter.com/z4aw6BFm7T— r/Warriors (@GSWReddit) February 16, 2021

That's what happens whenever you bring in a player who needs the ball and doesn't shoot 3s.

You reduce the role and usage of everyone else.

Randle's best skill is his playmaking. Bring in Butler, and you're not gonna see that as much. Same goes for RJ, as you said.

I don't even think Dragic would tell you to take him over Collin.
