Andrew Wiggins has been a superstar in his role

I understand why so many people were upset about Andrew Wiggins.

Wiggins generated hype as the first overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. The expected savior of the Minnesota Timberwolves had a lot riding on his shoulders the moment he put on a Wolves jersey. Some are built to take on that heavy burden right off the bat; some take time.

Wiggins wasn’t the former, so he was given leeway to live up to the latter. But as time passed and a five-year, $148 million contract seemed to be a waste of an investment, time seemed to be running out for him.
