Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologies Here
This organization is almost afraid to criticize Wiggins. They are afraid to challenge him for some reason. Because he's a #1 pick? Because they have sunk that contract for him, they are paralyzed to do anything? Can't upset the delicate little Canadian flower?
They have bent over backwards for this kid and he has not returned the favor.
"Coach says don't take that shot, screw that, if it's "open", I'm taking it." What a great mindset.

This isn’t a pickup game. There are coaches on the sidelines to manage these things. Why do you think the Rockets don’t shoot long twos (much less contested)? D’Antoni won’t allow it!
Does this mean I don’t think Wiggins should be criticized? No! Wiggins deserves all the criticism. He should know he shouldn’t be taking those shots too. But since he doesn’t, what then? Saunders gets a free pass?
C’mon, now.

Coaches need to control shot selection and Thibs/Saunders have both failed miserably.
I better get out of this thread before Kilkenny gets mad at me for agreeing with him. (And don’t you start!)

That's easier said then done. At some point the blame falls on Wiggins for continuing to take those shots. Ryan sure as hell is trying to get him out of that habit via his practices where long twos are negative points in scrimmages.

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologies Here
I don't think TT was this patient with K-Love.
Twice the player might I add.
Wiggins for Love, straight up. K-Love, sixth man role since his body is fragile. Big man rotation of Love, KAT and Saric. Dieng goes with Wiggins to Cleveland.
Wiggins and Dieng for Love and Thompson.
Move Thompson to a third team.

Wiggins needs to be made to understand this his long twos are hurting the team.
It would be great if Wiggins could control that himself but clearly he can’t.

There goes unfade who calls everyone else box score watchers and then he goes and uses only total points without context and completely ignoring everything else to show how "great" Wiggins is.
