The 2021-22 season was undoubtedly the best year in Andrew Wiggins’ career. The Golden State Warriors starting small forward played the best basketball of his life by a long shot, and was rewarded with his first All-Star appearance — as a starter, no less.
After slumping at the end of the regular season, he found his groove in the playoffs in a big way, playing a massive role in the team’s run to a fourth title in eight years. Despite playing on a team with (at least) three future Hall of Famers, Wiggins was comfortably the Warriors second-best player in the NBA Finals, as his defense on Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum helped turn the series.
