Stats don't even cover most of his impact, including steals/deflections/all around hustle and will to win.
Someone tell Wiggins, this is what a MAX player looks like.

Wiggins doesn't think about though. If he has an open shot he's taking it. Not my words.

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologies Here
i still think the raptors/wiggins thing is worth exploring. (wiggins and teague for lowry and powell).
kawhi very likely could leave.
raptors might blow it up because they're forever stuck in the 2nd round.
wiggins is canadian - and the raptors are going to need SOMETHING to hitch to their marketing post once everything comes crumbling down. plus, they might see actual hope in wiggins game as per the final month of the season. he IS the player of the four in this trade who has the potential for the best future, weird as that sounds.
lowry has looked super mortal in the playoffs and they still owe him $33M next year.
they are seriously dismayed about the production they've gotten out of norman powell since signing him to a 4 yr/$40somethingM deal. so they are nearly as dissatisfied with a SG/$ situation as we are - and would welcome a change.
hmm.
from our end, getting powell for the next 3 years isn't ideal - but he's infinitely less of a klugefest at $10M a year than wiggins at $27M per year. it opens up our cap considerably. plus it entirely chucks the totem pole dynamic here of wigs first/everyone else second. a SG trio of okogie/powell/reynolds would get PT entirely based on how well each is playing. and wouldn't that be nice for a change?
as for the teague/lowry swap, who cares? we'll have exchanged one last year of contract vet PG for another.
i like it! make the call as soon as the raptors get eliminated. good. glad i can check that off the to do list.

No player has been more coddled than Andrew Wiggins. He's such a loser. 150 million dollar loser but still a loser.

Kirk has at least put up excellent numbers on good efficiency. Andrew's stats are just inflated by opportunity while clanking 56% of his shots and doing little else. At least I know Kirk gives a crap. No one can say that about Maple...what's the opposite of Maple Jordan? Maple Oden? Maple Bennett?

Re: Post Your Andrew Wiggins Apologies Here
I'd say give Wiggins one more time to show if he can do it. If you want to move him, move him and #10 for Beal. Otherwise I want to keep him instead of taking these fake bad deals like Dion Waiters, Olynik back or Batum back.

The Wizards would laugh hysterically. You realize that right? Really. A top 20 player for the 10th pick in a mediocre draft and a bad player on a terrible deal? Look at that from Washington's POV man. I'm not even trying to be a jerk but come on.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 4:27 pm I'd say give Wiggins one more time to show if he can do it.

Timberwolves new POBO, Gersson Rosas, on why developing Andrew Wiggins makes more sense than trading him:
“The reality is this: If I go out on the market to get a player, I’m not going to find a player that’s got a bigger upside than Andrew.”

I actually believe Rosas meant what he was saying about Wiggins.
I personally believe Wiggins will be here next season and will be given every opportunity to succeed.
Not happy about it, but I’m just trying to accept an almost foregone conclusion.

What the fuck was he supposed to say about him?
Saying he has upside is a sneaky way of saying he's been a disappointment. I'm not sure what else he could say.

Can we just stick him on the bench? If he starts getting hot you play him more for that one game.
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.
