Timberwolves can’t afford to give up on Andrew Wiggins yet

Five years into his NBA career, Andrew Wiggins has failed to make any drastic improvements in any area of his game. In the first year of his five-year max contract, the pressure is on for him to either make a leap soon or the Minnesota Timberwolves to make a trade.

Before the trade deadline, rumors swirled over the possibility of Wiggins being dealt. Teams supposedly checked in with the Wolves to see if they were interested in trading the former no. 1 overall pick.

The case for dealing Wiggins is easy to make. He was paid for the hope of future improvement and he hasn’t shown that this season.
