When will Wiggins start playing and producing like a superstar?
16/4/1 43.6% 32 3P% 13.5 PER
Solid numbers till you realize realize he's playing #1 option minutes (top 10 in league) and gets #1 option opportunities.
Based on my research there has never been a player who has made the jump with such mediocre production in a large seasonal package.
Bettter yet, that type of production is relegated for supporting cast guy who is forced to play a #1 option role.
Again... will he become exponentially more efficient? If so, he can make the leap. But unlike Durant, who had average shooting %s as a rookie, Wiggins was an average shooter in college as well.
Where's the foundation to surmise he can become an elite shooter to make up for the other holes in his game?

Can't even drink legally. I bet his breath still smells like baby formula. :coleman:

13.5 PER doesn't lie.
Wiggins is simply not efficient. Only put up points under heavy minutes.

How is it holding him to the fire... his numbers are average across the board.
Teama were tanking two years to draft him. Would have went #1 in three straight drafts supposedly.

Embiid was the consensus #1 pick...before the foot injury.....I think Cavs would have still drafted him...if LeBron hadn't made his return so obvious

They didn't have many wings like this guy in the 90's...

Compare a 19-20 year old Wiggins to a 19-20 year old Kobe. Then do everyone a favor and kill yourself.

Year 3 is when he'll really start pulling it together.
