      I gotta point out Rusty wiggens stats compare similarly with kobe bryant his fg percentage and 3 are very similar kobe just scores 4-5 points more a game also rbs and assists are similar a couple more assists a game for kobe also kobe makes about one more free throw out of every ten compared to wiggens the big difference is defense definitely but it's a lot closer than I thought before I looked it up obviously stats don't tell the whole story

      If your a real sports fan, especially a basketball fan, you’ll know that, at least 80% of a athletes game is mental.. Now I’m not making an excuse for Wiggins, but imagine being the most HYPED! high school/ D1 prospect since LeBron at that time (In my opinion well deserved) gets drafted number 1 to the pro’s, Then couple weeks later the biggest name in basketball probably in sports PERIOD! signs to your very team through free agency, then does not contact you, mention you, or nothing.. THEN! after summer league you get TRADED!! as a GENERATIONAL HYPED NUMBER 1 PICK!! TO THE TIMBERWOLVES!!! Not only was LeBron a DICK! towards a young Wiggins, but I’m very sure that messed with his mental and threw him off his GAME! I love how everyone forgets that situation and how it was handled. If that same situation was to happen to LeBron himself in 03, who knows if we’d get the same LeBron we have today!

      @@jermainefran7070 I agree with you, and that's the reason why everytime Wiggins plays Lebron, he remembers that and he outscored him, head to head on 12 games Wiggins scored 25.3 pts/game (Lebron 24.5 pts), I know Lebron has won most of those games (Lebron has a 10-2 winning record), but now that Wiggins is not in a crappy team like Minnesota and he is in a winning team like the Warriors, plus you add that he is playing his best this season with way better defense than previous matchups against him, that record will change.
      I can not wait for their next game. So far in his first full season with Golden State, Wiggins has a 1-0 winning record against Lebron!

      No. He's a good player, but between his talent and his draft status he should have been a franchise player. He's at best the third best player on the Warriors. Probably more like 4th or 5th. He landed in a great place and he's taken advantage of it. That doesn't absolve him of his first six years.

    I genuinely think the majority of the blame should go to the Timberwolves. As you can see in Golden State, having someone like a Draymond Green or even a good coach who's always on your ass will always push you to be as great as you can be. Wiggins clearly has the work ethic but he just never knew how to utilize it or have someone to help him utilize it.

    • @randomnerd2332
      @randomnerd2332 3 ปีที่แล้ว +60

      Even though The Timberwolves do deserve blame, its not like Minnesota never tried to bring in guys who tries pushing others. They bought in Thibs who was knowm for being one of the toughest & intense coaches who was known for giving his starters significant minutes as well as trading for Butler, who even though didn't work out in Minnesota did call out Wiggins & the other young players for not workingas hard as they should be. I think most of the blame came to the fact that Wiggins necer tried to work as hard to reach the potential he had as to this day I remember when the Timberwolves were on ESPN & Doris Burke was announcing & called Wiggins out for his lack of effort.

What would D'lo do? He's horrible defensively and is utterly useless off the ball. So you give off D'Lo for Wiggins (who's been a two way threat so far) and hypothetically a top 3 pick.

      Be depressed by the incompetent mess that is your team... not Wiggins... I know Wiggins is a disappointment so far but at the same time how many young prospects have the Wolves managed to develop into great players? Ummm... ONLY FUCKING ONE!!! And that one was Kevin fucking Garnett who is one of the toughest and most aggressive SoBs to ever play in the NBA combined with amazing talent from the day he walked in, meaning it wasn't even that hard to develop him... he had the mentality of a great player from day one... he wasn't some scared kid...
      Sorry, but people acting like every 18-19 year old kid that comes into the NBA knows the exact way to develop his raw talent into "the next Kobe" is incredibly naive... being in a good franchise counts A LOT... especially for a kid like Wiggins that wasn't some ultra aggressive, confident dude... Wiggins is more like Steph and Klay than he is KG or Kobe... he smiles a lot, he enjoys relaxed people around him and not ultra aggressive "alpha dogs" that chew you 50 times a day which is why in GSW he's been showing what kind of basketball he should have been playing all along... cause his defense is DPOY level this year which everyone disregards cause "he doesn't put up enough points"... which is bullshit... an almost 20ppg DPOY level defender is an EXCELLENT player... not just good...

    Been watching Wiggins on the Warriors and he's fun to watch. I think he's a good fit for the Warriors, but the only thing that I noticed about him is that he needs to be more clutch at the end of games, I watched him miss a few crucial layups and shots that could have changed the momentum and even the outcome of the games I watched. Play in game he literally air balled a 3 pointer that could have helped the Warriors. He is a talented scorer and plays defense and above the rim, it's just his performance at the end of close games that has me confused. Hopefully he can develop into a clutch player, he is still young. Not sure if the Warriors are going to still give him a chance to become great next to Steph or use him as trade bait.

    I think you understated how valuable wiggins has been for the warriors' defense. He always gets assigned with defending the best wing/guard on the opposing team and he's defending them at a high level. He's also being a pretty good playmaker when he slashes for the warriors. He's been okay offensively and he could improve more. The problem right now with the warriors' second unit is wannamaker. He's been shooting the ball a lot thinking he's steph curry or something, which takes the ball away from wiggins, the supposed first option in the second unit. It's not helping that kelly has a scorer's mentality and takes even more away from wiggins

    I remember once during his rookie or sophomore yr, he hit this sweet dream shake fadeaway over Kobe (Kobe was on his retirement tour I think). And as they were running back on D, Kobe laughed and said “that looked familiar” and Wiggins replied “I learned that from you” and Kobe praised him postgame too. I thought that kind of recognition and praise would push Wiggins to work as hard as possible - at times he even looked like a young Kobe early on in terms of his build and game. But he just didn’t have the drive to get anywhere near that level. What a shame.
