Ya just hating
He's never been fine. What does Wiggins bring to the team other than inefficient shooting? This is a serious question.

That he can go get a bucket anywhere on the court and anytime.

He can post, mid range, and three point.

That's a skill that only some players have in the league.

Anyone can get a bucket anywhere and anytime, it just will take them a lot of shots before you get a couple to go in. Sounds an awfully like Wiggins...

The bottom line here is that we like someone who seems to give a rats azz and plays hard all the time. Okie does and Wiggy doesn't and THAT's the way it's gonna be....

Wiggy fleeced Glen and is laughing all the way to the bank.....lazy azzed bastard.

No, probably not. Just thought Wiggins had a couple opportunities to draw a charge tonight and then Ologie actually did, so I ran the numbers.

At this point Okogie looks like a 5 year vet and Wiggins looks like a rookie.

I want to like Wiggins... I really do. I sit there and watch him and am like, ok, he is finally going to get it, but am constantly let down.

That charge Okogie took last night was fantastic. He came out of fucking nowhere.

Meanwhile Peterson broke down the play where Towns went for the block and Wiggins stood there like a fool and watched Towns guy drive right to the basket. He didn't even attempt to try to stop him or get in front of him.

Fuck you Wiggins.

Some nights yes, some nights no.

Give me Teague playing the way he did, with Wiggins on the floor along with Saric next to him for a bit, then we can talk.

I think Saunders will approach him about a 6th man role once Rocco is back

It’s gonna be a sad day when people find out that BOTH Okogie and Wiggins have awful TS%.

The money is one thing, but we need wings who can create and shoot it.

NONE of ours can.

Agree. Wasn't commenting on that. At least there's hope for Okogie who is just starting out and cheap. Wiggins is pure trash.

If I were to have to choose between the two, it would easily be Josh. Isn't that sad? Damn, what a waste Andrew is, but it was totally worth the shot since KLove didn't want to be here anymore. Glen signing him to a max is right up there with Kahn whiffing on Curry. Top 5 blunder of franchise history.

Will be interesting to see if you actually hold this up, or if you will continue to defend him because of ppg.

Jimmy Buckets still leading the league in game winners and still getting buckets. He was Okogie coming in. Okogie is a beast just like him and he will develop his shot even if it;s just a couple spots on the floor where he's money from 3. He will calm down and stop the forces. Other than that he gets 2 breakaway dunks off steals. A couple cuts to the rim, a vicious put back dunk, a few FT's, and your lock down 1st team defender is getting you 15-18 as well. That's a straight up winner.

Jesus, still clinging to Butler’s nuts.... :roll: pathetic.

What did he do for the Wolves this season, and he was a worthless bitch in the playoffs for us last season and the Bulls the season before that. Nice hero outta ya’.

GO WOLVES!! :thumbsup:

I like okogie a lot and would be surprised if he ever gets to the 15-18ppg level. I hope so, but I doubt it.

OMG seriously? The way he flies around out there? You know any coach is giving him 36. Just off his crazy D and hustle he's getting 15 even if he never improves his shot.

If he never improves his shot, he'll never get 36mpg consistently. I'm not ripping him and expect him to improve, but right now he's a net negative most nights (Houston game notwithstanding). That's okay and to be expected of a non-elite prospect rookie.

I think that's fine as long as his scoring is efficient. We have a scorer in Towns and can add another. Maybe RoCo will be that guy. So efficient scoring and great D will equal wins which is what we all want. Need to recreate Wiggins on this roster somewhere cause nobody is going to trade for him.

He is certainly not a net negative most nights. Get your head out of the stat book. Unless of course they have new stats for diving for loose balls, or making a guy pick up his dribble in a bad spot, or hounding a guy into a reset pass, or causing a travel, or shot clock rushed shots cause by his wicked D in the 1st 10 seconds. Or steering his guy into a charge. Or 10 other little things he does.
