Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologies Here
For everyone who doubted him and still doubt him.
He’s back at his natural position at the two guard. He still has his flaws but he’s a true two way player. He has the ability to score in the post, mid range, and 3.
Are you in or out?!!

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
There's no such thing as a 2 or 3 with us. He's playing well because he's putting in the effort on D and rebounding which seems to keep him in the game until his shot comes around. He's always been a slow starter shooting but now he is just playing until it comes around instead of forcing it because scoring isn't all he does. It's cool to see. He seems to get 2 stl and a blk in every game now. He's getting deflections. 4 assists tonight too.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 9:42 pm For everyone who doubted him and still doubt him.

Anyone who knows the game understood two things about Brother Wiggins.
1. He's a beast
2. He's been playing out of position. He's a SG.

Wiggins said he has to change to the 3 last season and and it stopped his post game and driving.

The "position" is meaningless. The problem was his chemistry with Butler. Wiggins movement was minimal last season and in games with Butler.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 10:16 pm Wiggins said he has to change to the 3 last season and and it stopped his post game and driving.

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
His movement was limited because he didn't know how to do it. His post game was limited because he wasn't tough enough to do it. He lost his confidence and either pressed for buckets or he just floated.mlhouse wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 10:21 pmThe "position" is meaningless. The problem was his chemistry with Butler.

Thibs just laughed at him in the press conference and said well, if he thinks that's why it's fine because he's playing better and harder. I think we all knew from game one he's entirely a confidence player. That could really be seen at the FT line last year. Who goes from 80's to 60's in one year? Someone who lost his confidence. He's right back to 80. How did Jimmt Butler effect that?
Wigs turning point is not the day Jimmy left like so many haters want to think. It was end of last year and in the playoffs where he figured out you can contribute without scoring. Now he looks like he's gonna be a 5+ board 3 assist 2 stl 1 blk guy who plays solid team and man D. Score 15 a game doing that and you are really good. Score 20 and you are borderline allstar. He strings a few more good one's together and look for that breakout game.

Every year, I've seen a good month from Andrew only to be followed by two bad ones. We'll have to wait and see if this is the time where he's more consistent.

I'm sticking with that he learned to play D and rebound consistently and it's helping his confidence when the shot is not falling. Because that would be nice.

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
To me it’s not the numbers that jump out, although those are good—it’s the decisions he’s making out there, the calmer presence actually, the more methodical offensive style, the less forcing it, the changing of speeds, that stand out. It’s what great players do. It looks like the game is really slowing down for him.

He has no motor and is still a poor defender. If you could trick a team into taking him you do it but there is no team that would take him and his contract. Not one.

Fuck points per game, the only stats that matter are rebounds and assist, those have improved.
He is still a high volume chucker but him hitting the three has made him more effective.
One while season with no 22 shots, 1 rebound, 0 assist games and I'll be convinced he changed his evil ways.

2 or 3 matters with who he defends.

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
Got to remember the small sample so far this year with an 8 minute no tally night when he got hurt and then coming back from the injury. That effects those numbers quite a bit. He is coming on and stats do not reflect the good man and team D, the deflections, and the tip out to teammate non rebounds that he's getting now. And it all just leads to him staying "in the game" and not floating on offense. Once the attack mentality he's bringing on D hits the other end he will start getting those FT's. Then he's a 20+ scorer again. That plus good D and rebounding is a damn good player.zeitgeist wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 9:20 am2015: 4.6 RPG, 2.1 APGMoses Scurry wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 8:28 am Fuck points per game, the only stats that matter are rebounds and assist, those have improved.

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
I agree with this. Although as another guy said, let's wait and see if he can continue this. Andrew's MO has always been a few very good games scattered about a bunch of duds. Hoping he keeps up this intensity.thinktank wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 7:02 am To me it’s not the numbers that jump out, although those are good—it’s the decisions he’s making out there, the calmer presence actually, the more methodical offensive style, the less forcing it, the changing of speeds, that stand out.

We shall see, but it is kinda funny just how similar his numbers look to every other year. His defense has looked better the past several games.Thrillkill wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 9:56 amGot to remember the small sample so far this year with an 8 minute no tally night when he got hurt and then coming back from the injury.

I still like the guy. I've just dropped my opinion of how highly I think of him and what his ceiling can be. There's a reason why I was so high on him in the first place.
His man to man D/3pt shooting is encouraging. I'm just not gonna claim anything until I see this as a trend and not a mirage

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
To me his upside is still intact because of how simple it is for him to reach it. Back to an 80% FT shooter just need to draw a couple more fouls a game. Will likely never be even a solid ball handler but just need to learn how to get his position early, cut and post up more, and negate the need for the extra dribbles that hurt him. That's more points, less TO's. Ad that to what he's doing and that's an allstar level player.Pacman wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 11:02 am I still like the guy.

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologises Here
How many times have we seen this? Wiggins will have a good game 2 or maybe three times a year and he goes back to the same lazy, overpaid, under achieving POS, for the remaining 79 games.
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.
And if HHM feels the need to tell me to eat poop every time Wiggins has a good game I'll take it. Only if I can tell him to eat my poop for the 79 other games.
P.S. Unfadeable - You really need to get a grip. Stop telling people to learn the game and they don't know basketball. We're all hoop heads, that's why we are here. The fact you are holding on to this Wiggins dream of him becoming the next MJ is creepy. Don't be afraid to talk about his negatives along with the few positives. We're all here to do the same thing. Talk about the game we love.
