For comparison, they gushed on this pod about Towns and how he can play anywhere, do everything, and you run the whole show around him.

These two players were at one time thought to be on a similar trajectory.
One has the drive to be great, the other doesn't. It's as simple as that. Wiggins 100% has the natural ability to be a star in the league. His effort the last two years has been unacceptable, especially now given what he makes for a contract. Yikes.

If Wiggins is only allowed to take 3's and drives to the basket, will he be an effect offensive player?

He'd be so much more effective if he did that (not saying he'd be good). We don't need his career 34.2% from 16 out to the 3 point line. Wiggins likes to play like he is a HOF but without the talent.

Let’s not over inflate KAT here now. We had Butler - who everybody here knows only wanted to win and told everyone who would listen that he worked harder than everybody else in the gym. (God I love that people here ate that crap like candy - you weren’t one of them)

As the truth came out, Butler hated KAT - he got along with Wiggins fine. Many of Butler’s digs and rips at how the young players here had no clue, weren’t going anywhere and didn’t seem to care enough - we can now with the above knowledge know he was pointing much of this ire at KAT.

Just because “Mr Big Talk” Rosas has put out a statement about KAT and how he and the organization are now 100% focused together and moving forward, it’s probably smart not to buy all of that either.

The more Rosas talks the more BS detectors start to go off in my head. It’s nice to here stuff from him, but at this point for me it’s all going to come down to what he puts on the floor and what it produces. He gets this season to put on the shit show lottery bound product like every other new coach and GM have gotten here, then he needs to actually produce on his “Big Talk”.

GO WOLVES!! :thumbsup:

Wigs is concentrating on the Wolves and that’s what We all want.

Ben Simmons isn’t playing for Australia either to work on his pro game.

Stay learning rookies

So this is what, season 6 for Sleepy? Do we finally get to make a judgement on him this season or what are the Wiggins lovers built in excuses this season?

I don't recall Kevin Love getting this much leeway while actually being productive even with Kurt Rambis as a coach.

Well he's had about 53 coaches since high school so he at least gets one more year. :thinking:

Honestly, fro Wiggins is best Wiggins. When he went to cornrows his game fell off a cliff. Somebody in his camp must've finally told him to quit fuckin around, and loosen up the braids. Now that troll doll wiggs is back, I'm back with him.

Kobe and Michael didn't ascend to true alpha winner greatness until they shaved their heads. Time for Wig to get out the Bic.

He's making max money... everyone is allowed to proceed with whatever judgements they want to make. I was fine with his play the first three years though in year 3, Thibs started doing iso Wiggins in the fourth quarter which was really strange. Year 4 and Year 5 though he's agreed to and then start playing into his max contract... he needs to produce or else he deserves every negative comment thrown his way. Wiggins lovers don't really exist anymore except for a guy or two on here.

I realize this is snark, and I'm not making excuses, but he's only had one coach for more than 1 year probably ever, at least since his dad coached him in AAU, and that was Thibs.

When you look at Wiggins the total number of coaches he has had is pretty much irrelevant. The problem with Wiggins goes beyond coaching to the point where until Wiggins fixes his head then his game wont progress at all.

I wouldn't be nearly as pissed off at Wiggins if he simply tried and sucked but Wiggins doesn't try 90% of the time and still sucks.

Yep. Coaching has nothing to do with sporadic effort.

Actually we now know Jimmy Butler thought KAT was a lazy piece of shit and hated playing with him.

Oh well......The Truth Is Out There.

Maybe they are both lazy pieces of shit and the Wolves are just fucked.......Butler seemed to think exactly that, and many here believed everything Butler said while he was here.

Again, not making excuses for him being a lazy bum, but it's just intriguing how many coaches he's had going back to travel ball as a kid. KAT is just 1 year off from having the same thing. Some stability for them will hopefully be good.

Find one quote that says lazy, just one. He mentioned worried about stats and other things, I don't recall once lazy being mentioned.

Imagine calling Wiggins lazy and then saying that KAT is also lazy when he is a 2 time all-star and 1 time all-NBA at the ripe old age of 23.

I'd kill if Wiggins had the "laziness" of KAT.

I'm sure this is how a lot of Wiggins' offseason workouts and practices go. He tends to start the season hot from three and then cools off. Maybe he just needs some unbridled love and energy from the home crowd to keep his blood pumping?
