Andrew Wiggins plays defense now!!!!!
He doesnt just play it now, hes a legit candidate for 2nd or 3rd team defense
@@cheekypasta55 there's no 3rd team defense. 😂
Yup and He's only 25 years old 😂 people always hatin on this man
@@dcacho4681 there will be now and he is the only one on that 😆
Had no idea Wiggins was THIS GOOD defensively! An all-defense team for him this year would be well deserved
He wasn’t. He is now. He’s actually trying. And I hear draymond has helped him realize his potential. He always had it in him. He just never really showed enough effort or passion.
@@TheIcemanthomas draymond is that guy who can be like 45 and would still help the team off the court tremendously
Pretty sure he was considered a bad defender until now. Really cool to see him turn it around. He came into the league with the expectations of him being a lock down defender so it's good he's finally beginning to reach his full potential (on defense anyway...he hasn't put it all together on offense just yet but I won't count him out)
@@odonnellcaleb yea true, Wiggins was also known as one of the best defenders in college with the Kansas Jayhawks (opponents shot 33% against him) so I think it was also due to the dysfunction of the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise that did him in defensively.
@CzechMapping Yes. Consistently not up to his full potential. Which isn't to say he's been bad... Just I don't think he's at his full potential. Unless you think this is as good as Wiggins can possibly get?
As a fan supporting him from 2014 ,I really look forward to watching his every single game now
Curry and KT = splash brothers
DG and Wiggins = firewall brothers
"Great Gate"
Golden Gate Keepers
They Have Gary Payton Jr. and Wiseman too now
Andrew Wiggins is actually getting coached now and I love it. For so long, I have said he should be a much better defender than he was on the Wolves with his athleticism.
and really long arms
He's getting coached by Green.
While with the Kansas Jayhawks, Wiggins held opponents to 33% shooting and was one of the best defenders in college. I think it was definitely the Minnesota Timberwolves dysfunctional franchise that made his defence bad.
The twolves can't develop players for shit. KAT should get out there while he still can.
You really see how great of an athlete he is and you understand why he was so highly regarded as a prospect. He has crazy lateral quickness, recovery speed, he's reeeaally long, good reactions and timing. He really just glides on the court. Aestetically pleasing athlete to watch.
Those surprise blocks at the rim - players are "where'd that come from?"
That steal steal on KD then the block on Kyrie consecutively...thats an incredible defensive play
Most improved and defensive player of year
indeed
He has played like a dpoy so far, super impressive!
he better be all defence first team
Eason Low he probably won’t. There’s many fans in the nba who don’t watch warriors games that are still calling him trash on defence
@@Martooo251 don't mind them stats wise Wiggins will make it
@@Martooo251 he'll be either first team or all second
@@Martooo251 fans can't vote for that, only analysts and broadcasters and people like them can.
Someone post his last game against the Lakers, he forced LeBron to commit three travels. I’d never seen lebron so frustrated with a defender! Great vid!
Link?

Best 4th quarter I’ve seen all year, I don’t think GS had led all game and Wiggins played near perfect defence on LeBron.
It's scary how much he has improved on defense 😬
Draymond and Wiggins got me interested in watching defensive highlights maybe even more than offensive ones now.
Wow🔥Wiggins becoming a elite defender.if he continues like this he will be in all nba defensive team
Wow! He could replace Iguodala. Looking forward when KT is back
wiggins showed everything i wanted from him and even more. dont worry about the offernsive side (althought he has been really efficent thus far) the defensive intensity is what this team needs. i really hope he stayes long term! and to think people wanted them to trade him AND the pick...
That one possession starting at 3:54 where Wiggs gets involved in defending three different Pacers is particularly impressive to me.
Wiggins is becoming the next kawhi leonard right in front of us
He finally landed on the right team. Star makin' machine.
Seems like players that go to the warriors turnaround their game a whole 180 degrees.
Nice to see the young man living up to his potential and becoming a dominant two way player. Very impressive.
THANK YOU!. Progression is all I ever wanted to see out of him. I just want u to show me some type of impact on the game and not just scoring for the sake of scoring. I want him to succeed. I don’t enjoy having to harshly critic niggas when they don’t produce like I know they can.
Sup
He's now, finally, the defensive stopper everyone expected
that footwork
Now if he could use it offensively he wouldn't have a problem scoring in the paint or dribbling.🤣
@@lahkooky504westside3 he has been decent on offense so far
@@lahkooky504westside3 hes the most consistent guy in the floor bruh every game
@@Triplefga yes but he has literally one job and that is to slash. Oubre and curry are more agressive in the paint
Great defensive IQ, Moves his feet very well, times his blocks very well.
Maple Jordan to make an all star this season. He's ballin' consistently good this season.
Wiggins stealing, blocking, ruining shots - without fouling! Any more surprises with this guy? 💙🏀💛
wow so much improvement... great job Wiggins
I’m really looking forward to him coming closer to his draft potential I think the warriors can make really good use of him going forwards
Defend and score 14-20 points a game.
Warriors got an impact player.
2:09 do refs normally clap when it's that clean?
Ball
like swiping the ball not the hands , its understood tho
His wingspan and length is so long, it gives many players trouble and is why Wiggins should be a great defender
I think early on he struggled because he was playing how he played on the t-wolves trying to be a scoring threat when that’s not his game. Draymonds influence really amped up his defense and he’s now smarter on offense. When klay comes back he’s going to wreck even more havoc defensively and ease the burden on him.
Part of why I think he was an uninterested defender in Minnesota is because no one on that team took pride in defence. Once he came to a team that actively defends with veteran leadership and established coaching he took pride in his defence.
Plus on the Warriors Andrew doesn't have to carry the offense, he can focus on D
About time! All It took was a max contract and years of watching the ball until his man cuts to the rim.
That is why he shouldn't be traded....
Very impressed!
Wiggins is a beast my man better get in the all defensive first team I’ll ripped my hair out and he has a good chance of dpoy
He's on a way better team and franchise he is actually enjoying playing basketball he's trying to win
looks like culture is so important look at his defense right now so awesome
Impressive.. Wiggins is a lockdown defender now 🔒
More games and be will be a monster
When klay comes back and Wisman matures Warriors will be the best team again
I wish Wiggins would put on some muscle on him. Cause he’s so crazy athletic he’s be even more scary than he is now.
WIGGINS FOR ALL-STAR GAME...VOTE HIM
He’ll already get DPOY certainty
How about offensive highlights (with the Warriors) next?
Iguodala=wiggins
Nah Iguadala is more experience and good overall specially during clutch moments
@@Liam-pm5hp Watch basketball!
@@tghmaecas8760 yeh i watch how clutch iguadala is and how many times he saved the gsw, meanwhile ur comparing him to a player that hasnt been in the finals?
@@Liam-pm5hp What while he still progresses you will see more thank what you expect.
MVP
The Timberwolves couldn't sell those aspects of his game. I'm from mn
Dumbest trade in Wolves history 😭
No not really. Wiggs can actually unlock his potential with an organization like goldenstate while Minnesota can actually have the PG they been looking for in dlo. Now if that pick goldenstate is getting from Minnesota turns out to he a future hall of Famer then I will laugh my butt of
@@lahkooky504westside3 DLo isn’t that good. More of a 6th man quality PG. He has more turnovers than assists. He can’t guard anyone. He doesn’t playmake for others at a good enough level. It was a bad trade even without the draft pick.
yeah i mean imagine lamelo,kat, and wiggs.... sounds fun right?
Slashing lock
💪
Maple Pippen
Fuck dude seriously looks like he’s filling in for iggys role...
It’s looking like his lack of effort on the terms was because nobody hold him accountable. Kerr is putting him on the number one option now!
He could be like a iggy with a lesser passing ability and a better three point shot while matching prime iggy’s athleticism.
Iggy wasn't a two way player in his prime! But Wiggins has a potential to be in a next couple of years!
@@killingmachine9780 lol he wasn’t a two way player? You’ve gotta be trolling for most of his career he’s been at least a good defender
@@killingmachine9780 you forget about phily iggy
@@chillinchez Yeah but he was not a lethal scorer!
@@killingmachine9780 i remember iggy averaging 26ppg with sixers with iverson
I’m from MN and a T Wolves fan but they are such a bad franchise. With how Wiggins looks, maybe KAT could be DPOY on a team with any kind of culture and leadership
Exactly, it's all about the team culture and good coaching. MN doesn't have it.
Andrew Iguodala
Timberwolves wasted his talents... I have never seen such Wiggins in Timberwolves games
Part of it is how the warriors are also a great organization
He was just in the wrong system wrong organization with no people to lead and full of pressure in him
Keep him
Bring back A-i
Then add j-j
He just Lebron blocks them left and right
all defense 2nd team
