Wiggins has looked pretty good considering all that time off.....not much rust at all.

Kuminga and Wiggins are the two Warriors who can use physicality to dominate. It's nice that Wiggins can take over at times and just dominate a defender to score a basket. It gives Steph a break.

How the Dubs have completely saved Wigg‘s career is amazing. He was a damn near bust with Minny. Almost the second he arrived in SF, he completely flipped. Mind blowing.

Culture matters. And so does fit, he is simply not cut out to be an alpha/best player on your team (which #1 picks are expected to be). But as a #2/3 he's among the best

It might be time for all of us to own that the T’Wolves is the common denominator here. Give them enough time and they can ruin anybody. Players have to love it when they get out of there.

Gotta be the worst run franchise in the NBA and yes that includes the Clippers. Hornets might have a case.

Cleveland Browns of the NBA?? I know that several high QB draft picks have busted there. You gotta wonder if those guys would've been successful if they weren't picked by the Browns.

It helped that he was still young when he got to the Warriors. Only 25, I think. Kinda feels weird that he's only 28 years old. It feels like he's been in the NBA forever.

It truly is one of the great sports reclamation projects. Not quite Steve Young and the Niners, but still great.

Hamilton/Rangers

You could say Turner/Dodgers or Warner/Rams, but those aren’t HIGH draft picks that were cast off and salvaged the way Wiggins, and Hamilton were. Young still had lots of value when the Niners acquired him. He just sat until he was 30, which is a different kind of ridiculous.

I lean this way for sure.

And Rodman was a Piston. But he was severely offensively limited. Drays prime was substantially more than anything Rodman ever did.

But I also agree Rodman was a perfect fit for the time period
Yeah difficult to compare bc of eras but Dray is hands down a better offensive player

Sabonis and the Kings made a mistake. Got Draymond suspended and reminded Kerr that the offense works better with less Draymond. The floor seems so much more open now.

The surprise was that the defense didn't suffer. We'll see how that looks today.
