As Wolves fans, we watched Andrew Wiggins from Day One of his NBA career. We saw the flashes in December, the gradual improvement early in 2015, and the clear “figuring it out” stage late in the season.
We saw how much he grew, and we saw the areas that still need plenty of improvement. While the handle and long-range jumper were better than advertised, Wiggins’ occasionally struggled with indecision and shot selection on offense and his defense left a little something to be desired.
That said, it was a fine rookie season. Wiggins certainly seems to be on a similar path to players like Kevin Durant, and while he may never be quite as inefficient as true superstars like KD, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and other top-flight wings, it’s still on the table.
