Watch a recap and really focus on him. He fucking stands around half the time.

(I think this only shows scoring plays.)

Your guy Jace did not say he was a "positive" for the team.
I can tell already you didn’t watch the game last night and didn’t see the flow or how the game played out so your opinion on last night is NIL.

Wolves gave up 71 in the first half. Starters got the lead down to single digits closing out the 3rd. Ryan took out KAT and Wigs. Our bench came in and the lead ballooned back up to 17 heading into the 4th.

Box score watchers get owned and served easily.
I sure as shit did watch. I may not be the most astute observer but I certainly saw terrible shot selection from Wiggins and an absolute inability to guard Ross.
If you watched last night like you claim, Ross cooked everyone last night. Wiggins, Deng, and Okogie. He was making shots over double team contested too.

Some nights guys are on fire. Ross is like Jr Smith, some nights he’s way off, some nights he could look like Kobe. Plus he’s on a contract year so he’s play his tail off.

Listed under “Positives” from last nights game.

Really?
That isn't the same as saying he was a overall positive...

That tweet is trying to find a silver lining in a crap performance.
So Wiggins was a silver lining from last night’s team crap performance?

Gotcha, point proven again.
Jesus your twisting is amazing.

He wasn't a silver lining for the team last night.

That guy was trying to find a silver lining in the crap performance Wiggins had.

It's like saying Wiggins winning the rising star MVP was some great achievement in his career. Who cares that we won that? It doesn't make him any better in anyway.

And it really doesn't matter if Wiggins what other things Wiggins does if he continues to be a travesty on offense. He is a max player. If you can't at least be a positive on offense then you aren't even close to living up to your contract. If Wiggins legitimately improves in rebounding and defense it wont justify his contract at all unless he improves on offense.

Wiggins' missed long 2's are essentially turnovers. He essentially averages 8 turnovers a game including the 2 real ones.

His offensive rating has plummeted to 98 per 100 possessions this year, his worst season yet. Meanwhile his horrible defensive rating per 100 poss is right at career average of 113.

His true shooting percentage is at a career low.

His free throw rate is the second lowest of his career, near last year's pathetic number.

His rebounding, assist, and steal numbers are all at his career average.

He's shooting under 40% from the field. Yuck.

The dude has not improved anywhere in 5 years. He's getting worse.

Yeah, but how do all of those numbers compare to Otto Porter?
ORtg - 120
DRtg - 107
TS% - .602
3P% - .441
FT% - .828

Otto's only managed 10 PPG for his career though.

Not if Porter takes 8-10 shots a game compared to 28 from the Rising Stars MVP.

Only in unfadeables world should the worst shooter on the team shoot the most.

Always said Kat should shoot the most.

Dane Moore said today on his podcast that last night no one could get a shot off except Wiggins. In plain english, that means get by their guy or even get an open jumper. It was a whole team problem. No point guard to run offense or motion and when our 2nd unit was Cannan, Tolliver, Deng, Saric, Gorgi. It's hard for those guys to get a shot because they are covered and can't move.

But you didn't even watch the game so yeah LEARN THE GAME again.

So your evidence is now random reporters. OK, I can play along.

So what about all the other reporters, players and analysts that say he's trash? Those don't count?

Haha. I almost knew Wiggins would have one of his good games after the dud last night. Now we get to hear his supporters do their thing.

23-9-3-3-2 last night is such a dud.

Wiggins 23-10-7-2 tonight.

But we should bench him or include a 1st round pick to get rid of him right?

He took some 30 possessions to get those 23 points against Orlando. He's averaging 18 ppg on sub 40% shooting.

Gotta give credit when it's due, he was pretty good against Pels tonight and drove in more. Glad he got his teammates involved a little more, gotta see more games like this.

Exactly what I think. He's had two good games since Thibs left. That's what Wiggins does though, 1 game on 9 off. Dude has the ability to get close to last nights game every night. He does this Thursday and we win.

Yet Dumb & Dumber will ride this game for the next 9. :lol:

he's so inconsistent, but there's a weirdness to it that can hardly be explained. i did some minor number crunching and found some weird stuff.

we've played 56 games - wiggins has played 51 of them. in the 5 games he didn't suit up, we went 2 and 3. so... extremely small sample size, but it's not like we went on a jag with andrew in the whirlpool. we lost 3 of 5.

in 43% of the games in which he did play (22 of 51, or nearly half) andrew shot a crappy 38% or less from the field. actually a combined SHITTASTIC 120 of 386 from the floor (or 31 freaking %!). this, from the guy who takes more shots than anyone on the team not named Karl.

that really sinks the wolves, right? must be. except now for the REALLY weird part. in those 22 games, the wolves went 12 and 10 - a winning % of .545. right now, for the season, the wolves have a .464 winning %. in other words, we win more games when andrew is shooting horribly than when he's shooting well. i guess we can stick that in our wolves stat blender and hit the "grind" button.

Yep. Cool to see a box score where every starter scored more points than shots. Those lost possessions on long two's or iso misses blow.
