Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
I will say this it does feel a little different this time around now that the negative Butler situation is over. I just hope this is a new Andrew not the one that is awesome a couple times and then sucks like the next 5.

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
I like Andrew. His stroke from downtown is encouraging. He's shooting 41.2% on 5.7 APG from 3. And these are all when his feet are set on the perimeter or he's coming off a screen by Karl or Taj and can let loose behind em.
He does need to eliminate the 2's or just the off balance shots in general. But he has a great stroke when he's set and in position to shoot.
The activity defensively we saw come through last year and hes ramping back up to that it seems. Averaging about 2 STLs a game.
He touches the ball a lot more just during possessions without Butler. So does Karl. So does everybody. It has to be easier when everyone is passing and looking for the best shot on offense. That stuff breeds confidence. And Andrew has always seem to be a confidence player.

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
His handle has appears to have gotten more sloppy this year, but perhaps that's with playing so much off the ball when Jimmy was here.
When he's in traffic, that ball certainly has a tendency to pop out. Hope he can clean that up.

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
He’s had a couple of assists that have ended for naught when Teague for some bizarre reason was afraid to take a wide open three. Last night late in the game Teague finally took and made a couple wide open threes and you could see the look of total relief on his face. Take the shots guys, they are all helping each other get some much better looks right now than at any time in Thibbs time here.....take the damn shot.YBBR wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 1:32 pm I like Andrew.

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
I’m a Wiggins booster at this point and hoping for Jim and KAT to step up and develop into the leaders and soul of this team, but I agree with this.
Wiggins has shown to be streaky and when he is on a high you can ride him, but he then goes low.....real low. I am hoping for the consistency you are. It needs to be where there are highs but the lows aren’t so low and don’t last as long.
GO WOLVES!!

Wiggins fan boy's get all excited when he has a good game and they hang on to it like their life depends on it. I would love to see Wiggins live up to his potential. But he won't. That dunk the other night got me out of my seat... He doesn't have it in him to be that guy night in and night out.

He is absolutely atrocious. Okogie gives us a better chance to win at a fraction of the cost. We are stuck with the lazy piece of shit though because there is not one team that would take him. Not one

Wiggins not good against Grizzlies. He needs to learn how to get to line when his jumper isn't falling. He had open looks against Grizz and couldnt make them pay

True. But I would argue driving hard and creating contact helps create space from getting blocked. But he is really into finessing everything.flexbuffchest wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 7:33 pmHe was getting stuffed or striped constantly whenever he went into the lane tonightjimmyjamjammer wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 7:21 pm Wiggins not good against Grizzlies.

Wiggins is having the same problem driving and finishing early in his career that Brewer had, believe it or not.jimmyjamjammer wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 7:38 pmTrue.

If you’ll remember, young Brewer was an AWFUL driver/finisher for one reason: he ALWAYS put the ball on his hip as a part of his big windup to get off the ground. The result is that the ball was routinely incredibly easy to strip, and strip it defenders did.
The solution is to borrow from Magic Johnson and move that ball all over hell DURING your two step drive. You get fouled or you make it to the rim, where your finishing rate goes way up.
Brewer did exactly this. This unpredictable driving technique turned Brewer from an atrocious finisher to an excellent one. Brewer is now essentially know as this player with unpredictable yet consistent finishing skills.
Long story longer, Wiggins keeps the ball very low way too late in his drives, and predictably so. Again, the solution is to keep the ball high and moving during your two step drives. Ball fake the shit out of it, a la Magic Johnson.
Wiggins can easily do this If he watches some Magic tape, and—laugh all you want—even some prime Brewer tape. For example, Brewer’s 51 point game. He was holding the ball up and all around and finishing everything as a result. Check it out. Almost every finish begins with the ball held high:
https://youtu.be/vC1srGqOrK4
Basically, Wiggins needs to hold the ball up high sooner on his drives and he’ll shoot more and better shots at the rim.

Another wonderful egg by sir Andrew the Lionhearted - what'd he have 1 rebound and 2 assists in 36 minutes to go along with 25% shooting. There's no way Okogie could hope to match those numbers.
