Andrew Wiggins is a bold-print cautionary tale for Ayton skeptics
The Phoenix Suns should not want to end up like the Minnesota Timberwolves
Four years before Deandre Ayton was taken with the No. 1 overall pick by the Phoenix Suns, newly crowned world champion Andrew Wiggins was taken with the top overall pick by the woeful Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014. Wiggins was the most talented player in the draft, and would be one of the most talented in the whole league from the day he first took the floor.
After being traded to the rebuilding Minnesota Timberwolves that summer for Kevin Love, he posted good numbers for a shooting guard, and soon he was paired with another No. 1 overall pick the next year, Karl-Anthony Towns.
