I've been saying this for 4 years.KevinBaconIsNotMyHero wrote: ↑Sun Feb 03, 2019 3:08 pm People keep saying that it’s a question of effort and not skill. That’s nonsense. He’s an inefficient shooter, always has been. He’s a bad ball handler and passer. He hasn’t improved either. His defense may be a question of effort but his off ball defense is also about knowledge. I just think it’s time to stop saying it’s all about him being lazy, and realize he’s very athletic but not skilled.

Re: Andrew Wiggins - “I want to be an All Star next year ”
Yea. You have. I’ve also been a Wiggins realist as well. My delusion was him becoming a better defender. It just hasn’t happened and I thought it could. But he’s a clueless team defensive player. Difficult to watch. And his ball handling for someone who has the ball as much as he does is also below average. I think it’s why he’s hesitant to drive and often just shoots a pull up jumper which is such a stupid, inefficient shot. It honestly sucks to talk about him at this point.zeitgeist wrote: ↑Tue Feb 05, 2019 11:33 pmI've been saying this for 4 years.KevinBaconIsNotMyHero wrote: ↑Sun Feb 03, 2019 3:08 pm People keep saying that it’s a question of effort and not skill.

Maybe he just needs a pair glasses to improve his shooting and a good nights sleep for more energy.Hornets wrote: ↑Sun Feb 03, 2019 7:04 pmSadly, it's both....Wiggy is not skilled AND he's lazy.

It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

At least Andrew acknowledges his performance lapses unlike a lot of players. He is still young and he is better then most people his age. He may just be a late bloomer.

It's in everyone's best interest that Andrew pulls his head out of his ass. However, history shows that outcome has a very slim chance of happening.64DegreeWedge wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 4:34 pm Now rooting for this dude b/c all the homers are starting to flip.

Every time you see KG, it reminds you he is still the Wolves. He can't be anything but this team, and needs to have some role here.

Don’t know the whole story, but pushing KG out the second time after Thibbs came in was easily one of the dumbest things this franchise has done.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 8:33 pm

Re: Andrew Wiggins - “I want to be an All Star next year ”
It wouldn't even make the top 10 of dumbest things ever done. Having KG sit on the bench for another year would not have dramatically changed our team. I don't know the whole story either, but part of the story is that Glen Taylor and KG hate each other and the only reason KG was here was because of Flip and that he'd be a minority owner with Flip of the Wolves, that all fell apart when Flip died.jodaman01 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 9:04 pmDon’t know the whole story, but pushing KG out the second time after Thibbs came in was easily one of the dumbest things this franchise has done.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 8:33 pm

Re: Andrew Wiggins - “I want to be an All Star next year ”
So you don’t think keeping KG around would have helped the player development in KAT and Wiggins, and that he possibly could have helped make the Butler situation here work any better. I believe he could have made huge a difference in all of it, and that he should have been hired by the organization in some other professional player/organization related roll.zeitgeist wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 5:18 amIt wouldn't even make the top 10 of dumbest things ever done.

I think Glen put in a big effort to hire a firm to get a coach and leader for his business. They brought Thibbs to the door. Part of the deal in going in that direction was to destroy and deal Flip had with KG and himself. Everybody knows now that that Thibbs wanted to be the only voice in any of the players ears.
