Andrew Wiggins is finally drawing fouls like a No. 1 pick

The Golden State Warriors are excellent in many phases of the game, but foul-drawing is not one of them. This may be why Charles Barkley said a jump-shooting team could never win the title: You don’t get as many free points on jumpers, and going to the hoop gets rewarded by whistles. Enter Andrew Wiggins.

Wiggins was already leading the Warriors in fouls drawn, but recently he’s turned it up a notch, particularly with a ten-foul-drawn performance against Detroit last week. Against the 76ers, he drew two quick fouls in the first 73 seconds of the game, a giant advantage that he squandered by bricking all four free throws.
