If you're Minny, you explore all options of trading Wiggins this offseason, right? KAT and Butler have to the be the core and you need to surround them with more shooting. Either that or Wiggins has to become the defense stopper he's physically capable of being. He's just too passive defensively and inefficient offensively to work there as is.
Yeah, that was a horrible contract. More to the point, who's going to want him?
He's barely 23 and has a career 19.7ppg average while missing two games in 4 seasons.
I'm sure plenty of teams would take him.
Idk, maybe it's just me, but I've always seen him as a "the lights are on but nobody's home" type of player. He has all the physical tools, but the motor is severely lacking, if he even has one, at all, not to mention the fact that he hasn't improved since he entered the league, imo.
Eh, he definitely regressed this season but I think that has more to do with his role with Butler and Thibs.
He has all the tools to be a great player. He's a fair FT shooter and can hit the 3 (but could do it more consistently). He's extremely athletic and still very young.
Oh I definitely agree about his regression, aside from whenever he plays against Lebron, lol, so that's awesome, but he just doesn't seem to have the mentality of someone, like, say, Jaylen Brown, not to mention the fact that Wiggin is just too one-dimensional, for me, and I don't think that Towns has that fire, either.
Granted, he puts up great numbers, but he just doesn't strike me as having that kind of dominant personality that is needed to get the most out of his talent, imo, which is the biggest difference between him and Embiid, for example. Put the latter on the Timberwolves, for example, and even without Butler, they'd make the playoffs, but maybe I'm wrong.
