The Golden State Warriors knew they were getting a wild card when they traded for Andrew Wiggins. It was tough to give up such a promising prospect such as D’Angelo Russell but it made much more sense from a lineup standpoint to bring Wiggins to the Bay Area in place of D-Lo.
Wiggins is a lanky small forward and fills in a massive gap in the Warriors roster with Kevin Durant now gone. The Warriors hope that a change of scenery will bring out the best in Wiggins. Thus far, we have already seen both the highs and lows.
