Renewing the argument that Andrew Wiggins should come off the bench

Welcome to the Tuesday edition of The Cooler, where sometimes the small and large sample sizes match up. Let’s get to it:

*An idea I’ve thought for a while was worth exploring — and in fact wrote about back in July — is the Wolves moving Andrew Wiggins out of the starting lineup and into a sixth man role.

Seeing the Wolves pile up 130 points in a win over the Clippers on Monday while Wiggins was out sick shouldn’t serve as some sort of SMOKING GUN Exhibit A considering it was just one game and Los Angeles was playing in the last of a six-game road trip, but it does at least provide the occasion to think again about the relative strengths and weaknesses of Wiggins and the Wolves’ roster as a whole.
