Andrew Wiggins - “I want to be an All Star next year ”

Post by UnFadeable21 »

Andrew Wiggins won't be announced as an all-star reserve tonight.

He wants to change that in the future. "I'm motivated to do it. I've just got to work, get better, clean up some stuff and stay consistent."

What needs to improve to reach that all-star level?

Andrew Wiggins: "I feel like everything needs to go up. Everything."

Heard it before. Too bad he doesn't give a rats ass when he's on the court.

When asked what it would take to be a All Star "I should start by actually running on the court"

Him and Towns are both making it next year.

I’m proud he’s going to take it serious. Our future is bright with our 1-2 combo!

Yeah, keep hanging on those All Star appearances, Rising Stars MVPs and Skills Challenge wins, or whatever the hell that was.

By his sixth year, he's going to buckle down and take shit seriously.

Already with a max contract too. So many bums being overpaid in the Association right now.

If I was Andrew, I would continue to half ass it and retire after my contract is up.

Even Johnny Athletic said what I have been saying. If Wiggins isn’t shooting well, he’s been rebounding, play making, and defending under Ryan Saunders.

It will get better.

The game before against the Jazz, he was our best player. He was solid in the Lakers win.

andrew sounds a little like some 2nd round draftee talking about how he's excited to join the team and bring his talents to the nba and do whatever it takes, blah blah - and then reality clamps down and the dude gets cut in training camp.

i no longer have all-star aspirations for wiggins. he's not talented enough - he dribbles like crap - his bbiq is weird - he's got bad hands - his shot is never beyond suspicion. he goes 6 for 7 in the first half, but no! he's not hot!, it was a blip and you can bet he'll go 2 for 14 in the second half. i don't see how that stuff gets better to the point where it's all-star level - unless you're talking jamaal magloire all-star level.

but as i've said now a million times - he's ours and ain't going nowhere. now all i hope for from him is an improved motor, better rebounding and defense, and a passable FG% thru better shot selection. someone not nearly worth $28M a year, but if he was on your team for $8M a year, you'd go "eh, he's not so bad".
There is little difference between the memory of a real event and the memory of a dream.

Some of these posts crack me up.

In fact Wiggins post cracks me up.

To be fair, I'd love if he actually did as he said and was motivated to become an AS.
