    I've watched a few T'Wolves games, including last night and their previous game against GS (a close loss), and I have a hard time getting a read on Wiggins. I watch him and I can't help but feel disappointed, then you see his stats and he's quietly put up a solid game (last night: 32 points on 11/19 & 2/3 shooting, 8/9 from the line, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 6 steals).

    Just like when he was at Kansas, he doesn't seem to demand the ball in crunch time and doesn't appear to have that killer instinct. I think that's just his personality; quiet, unassuming, good teammate, effortless scorer. Plus he's still very young, only in his second season, and he just seems like a nice kid. I could see his demeanor and approach changing over time, as he gains NBA experience and confidence in his own game.

    I think Wiggins would be an amazing 2nd option, much like Pippen was to Jordan. Jordan was the leader (with words and through actions) with the killer mentality, while Pippen was the quiet, effective, well-rounded sidekick.

    If Minnesota can add another top 3-5 pick to their young core (Wiggins, KAT, etc...), they could be scary good in a couple seasons.
    I think you pretty much nailed it with this analysis. Huge fan of Wiggins. I wish he would be more selfish and impose his will on the game. He can.

      If that's a solid game, I wonder what a great game would be?

                If you were a scout would that be a negative ? Or are these type of games hard for a big man to shine ?

                  Of course not. It doesn't change anything.

                    He's going undrafted I bet. It's another Christian Wood scenario all over again.

                        It's a huge concern for me because he has looked shitty in the last couple of showcase games he's played in. I bet that's why he's not playing, because he would probably look bad and destroy what little draft stock he has.

                            This is a pretty big gamble to take at first glance to bypass the US college route to the NBA, Why would he or his advisers go the route ?

                            Anyone know or want to speculate about Thon's ability to pass the SAT and gain admittance to an NCAA program ?
                            If he can't then this is likely the best roll of the dice they have.... If he can... then he better not get an agent because if he does then the NCAA probably won't admit him if he goes undrafted..
                            This is a huge gamble on his part. Huge.

                            There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.
