Wiggins put it on the shelf because of his attitude, and no team invited him.
We know that there are many ordinary players in the NBA. For example, we are familiar with Beverly. He is the kind of player with average qualifications but hard work. He worked hard and went into defense for a while. He made his opponent respect him by playing ball. He is always full of energy on the court. He took the initiative to provoke his opponent and spit garbage. All this is for the team to win.
Kobe has a famous saying: Have you ever seen Los Angeles at four in the morning? Kobe said that he is an ordinary player, and all he can do is work harder and pay more than others. He is very eager to win, and his efforts can often make players admire and opponents admire. People like him because of his indomitable spirit.
Maybe everyone knows one thing, that is, after playing iron for more than ten times in a game, Kobe questioned the basket, which he thought was lower than usual. This is an incredible thing. No one has ever questioned whether the basket is skewed. Kobe said that it is decades of experience, and this experience is obtained from repeated practice shooting.
There are also many talented players in the NBA. For example, we are familiar with Jr. Kobe once commented on him: If he works harder, his grades will definitely be higher than mine. But it is precisely because of this attitude of jr that he became an ordinary basketball player.
We often see Wiggins soaking Lycium barbarum in a thermos cup. She is afraid of injury and confrontation, which is why she is shelved by the timberwolves.
Today, Wiggins is experiencing jr's past, and the reason why he was shelved by the Timberwolves is because of his attitude towards the game. Because of Wiggins' attitude towards the game, other teams are unwilling to make an offer for him. If his attitude is correct, he can accept the invitation of the Canadian Blue League. He can bravely show his strength and talent in the NBA, and he can be greater than Kobe.
But many things are imagined by us. A man's greatness lies in his own attitude towards himself. Life is a process of shaping oneself, and success lies in whether he is responsible for himself or not.
If we want to discuss this problem, we should start with Wiggins.
As a century-long problem, whether Wiggins is a top parallel importer has always been a topic of discussion. You said that he was a parallel import, and he was very fierce in fighting knights and thunder; If he is not a parallel importer, he can't afford to be the top scholar, with an average score of 18.
As a man enjoying the reputation of "Brother Lycium barbarum", he claimed to be a teammate with James' grandson. For such a healthy player, why did the Cavaliers choose him with the No.1 pick?
The first high school student in the United States, a sports family, surpassed Jordan vertically, 12 was the best newcomer in the league, and the first lineup made the Cavaliers choose Wiggins without hesitation. Although the Timberwolves were quickly traded, they were a darling in the eyes of Minnesota, which lacked generals. In the following year, Downs was selected as the top pick, which also made many Timberwolves fans see hope.
The Timberwolves, the top two Timberwolves, have only entered the playoffs once in five years, and it is still difficult for Butler to advance after joining. Butler also submitted an application to leave the team after a round of tour, and Butler was quite critical of Wiggins' attitude and defense.
Although there are statistics, in the five seasons from 20 14 to 19, only five people scored higher than Wiggins in the regular season, namely James, Durant, Shao Wei, Curry and Harden. Looks like the data is very good. Actually, his efficiency in the game is very low. He likes singles and is afraid of physical confrontation, so he can only shoot on the outside, but the projection is not particularly good! The annual salary next season is $25.25 million, but only in the regular season, his offensive efficiency is 1 10.3, and his defensive efficiency is11.5, ranking 28 1!
There are three main reasons for the obvious decline of Wiggins in recent two years.
It may be that I played too hard in high school and now I have lost interest in basketball. It may also be that coaches change frequently and there is a lack of a guide.
On the other hand, Rose, once a windy city, 1 spent $2.4 million a year, once again shines in the Timberwolves. Average 27.3 minutes 18 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. Where's Wilkins? 34.8 minutes 18. 1 minute, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists. It is understandable that the timberwolves offered to sell him.
I'm afraid no one wants to take the scarf for the team aiming at next season's playoffs. Those teams that missed the playoffs are addicted to the lottery area. After all, recent rookies are called Little Jordan and Little James J.S.Wong. His contract is a little better than Paul's. He can't break the team, but he can also break it to death. The wolf can only keep it for himself, looking forward to the day when he is no longer healthy.
Even if Wiggins has a bad attitude, his talent is still there. According to official statistics, Wiggins is the sixth youngest player to score 6000 points in NBA history. At present, all the players who are better than Wiggins have got big contracts, and the Timberwolves still want to treat Wiggins as a treasure. After all, 60-year-olds can use it.
This behavior may also be that wolves have sounded the alarm for Wiggins, telling him to put down his wolfberry and trade you if he can't fight well. Wiggins also recently cancelled the Canadian national team. We don't know whether to focus on health or to practice in summer.
I hope Wiggins will be brave after being ashamed and call back next season.
Andrew wiggins, the 20 14 NBA No.1 pick, was called the most talented player after James before the draft.
However, in the fifth year of the league, the former champion Lang has almost disappeared from the crowd. Last season, Wiggins played 73 games for the team, averaging 18. 1 minute, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists, and his shooting percentage and three-point percentage were only 4 1.2% and 33.9% respectively. His fairly healthy playing style was dubbed "Healthy Mamba" by fans, and a composite picture of Wiggins and Lycium barbarum water became popular on the Internet.
Indeed, as the top pick, the team's Downs showed the stadium vitality and desire to win that Wiggins could not match, and the Timberwolves' patience with him came to an end. In the middle of last season, the team began to sell the 24-year-old small forward, but there has been no real progress. Why?
First, Wiggins' transaction value is not high. Wiggins, 24, is no longer the rough jade to be carved, but a lottery ticket with the words "thank you" written on it. He has almost no potential to tap, and the five-year contract of 654.38+48 billion is unbearable.
Second, the characteristics of Wiggins' ball style. Wiggins, who has excellent talent, is not good at running without the ball. In the past five seasons, he prefers to attack with the ball, which is not efficient. Moreover, he has never been an excellent outside defender on the defensive end. Last season, Wiggins ranked 228th in the defensive efficiency of all NBA players. This kind of play is not suitable for a team aiming at the playoffs at all. Some fishing teams don't need Wiggins at all.
Third, the Timberwolves demand too much for trading chips. According to reports, the Timberwolves had previously discussed with the Nets the possibility of Wiggins trading Russell, which was flatly rejected. A striker who has proved himself incompetent, for a new all-star guard, as long as his IQ is online, he will basically not agree to such a deal. However, the management of Timberwolves seems to overestimate the trading value of Wiggins and think that he can get high-quality chips, so it is difficult to reach a deal at present.
After missing the playoffs again last season, the Timberwolves decided to trade their top striker andrew wiggins, but there has been no progress, and almost no team has made an inquiry. Why? The most important thing is the attitude on the court.
Wiggins is the top pick of 20 14, with good physical talent and players. The scout reported that he was a superstar player like James. The difference is that James is very talented and uses his talent. He is not afraid of confrontation, tough in attack and active in defense. Wiggins can't see any passion when playing on the court, which can be seen from the fact that he has never had an offensive foul in his five-year career.
Enterprising spirit and fighting spirit are necessary for a star player. Their talents may not be high, but they must work hard. Kobe Bryant and Iverson are inspirational classics, so they have also become legendary superstars. Wiggins' body flag is much higher than theirs, but he is lazy on the court, which is the most terrible thing. Besides, he is also a core player in mathematics, which has brought too many bad influences to his teammates.
Wiggins is very talented and has a ball dealer. According to statistics, in the five seasons from 20 14 to 19, only five people scored higher than Wiggins in the regular season, namely James, Durant, Shao Wei, Curry and Harden. It's shocking to see this, but it's true. Wiggins has a strong scoring ability, but the style of the ball is not too tough. Besides, he has a big contract. Which team wants such a player?
In fact, for Wiggins, the starting point for him to enter the NBA is very high, even surpassing Embiid to become the No.1 in 14, all because of his talent, he has such a high ranking. Of course, in the first season, Wiggins' performance was really excellent. He averaged 17+4.6+2. 1 and 1 steals. And his hit rate is 43.7%, which is very good.
Wiggins 20+ in the second season, and so is the third season. In this case, the timberwolves have been hovering around the top salary. When the owner of the Timberwolves hesitated, Wiggins assured him. He said that he would work hard and maintain strong enthusiasm. Finally, the Timberwolves gave him a maximum salary contract of 65.438+48 billion.
Embarrassed, however, after Wiggins got the top salary, his data in 18 was declining in an all-round way. Even last season, he didn't exceed 20+. What is even more embarrassing is that Wiggins' offensive end has declined in an all-round way, and the performance of the defensive end is also extremely bad. Among them, the hit rate dropped by 2.5% compared with the rookie season, and the real hit rate was lower. On the defensive end, Wiggins' defensive efficiency is the lowest in the league, and such positive and negative values are really embarrassing.
Finally, at the end of last month, the Timberwolves decided to put Wiggins on the shelf. However, although there are many rumors, the team has not made any substantive inquiries, which also proves that it is very difficult for the Timberwolves to abandon him. After all, no one is interested in his health style. Even Wiggins refused to be selected for the Canadian team on the grounds of training, and this choice was once again reviled by countless fans. Seeing countless fans here is not without ridicule: Wiggins has strength, but he is not suitable for staying in the Timberwolves. The Spurs are the best choice ~
In fact, Wiggins has not been put on the trading shelf by the Timberwolves, but there were rumors before Russell's trade. After all, the Timberwolves don't have the courage to trade Wiggins. Now Wiggins can be regarded as the number one star of the Timberwolves, and both inside and outside Downs echo. Without proper chips and trading partners, the Timberwolves will definitely not choose to trade. In fact, on the other hand, the property of grandpa at Wiggins Stadium has also made many teams daunting.
1, Wiggins, the representative of healthy basketball.
As we all know, Wiggins, as the No.1 pick of 20 14, was gifted and was once hailed as the next James. Although there is still a long way to go from James, it is good that Wiggins is only 24 years old and still young, and there is still room for improvement. Last season, Wiggins played 73 games in the Timberwolves, averaging18.8000806 three-point shooting rate of 34%, which looks good. In fact, compared with previous seasons, Wiggins has regressed. You know, in the 20 16-20 17 season, Wiggins averaged 23.6 points and 4 rebounds. When the owner of the Timberwolves saw it, Wiggins was a material that could be manufactured and used decisively for five years. 2. However, after signing the big contract, Wiggins' data fell instead of rising, and there were many moments of paddling on the court. His retreat was not timely, his attack was not decisive, he could never dunk, and he was called healthy basketball by fans as far as possible without foul. Really does not match the identity of the champion. Even jimmy butler angered Wiggins, thinking that he didn't work hard enough. Then Butler left angrily and didn't want to be with him. Hey. .
Generally speaking, NBA transactions are nothing more than the following situations.
One is passive trading. That is to say, the team didn't think about the deal, but it was difficult to refuse the player's application or the high chips offered by the opposing team.
First, the transaction is active. It is the player's right to trade voluntarily during the contract period. Active trading is divided into two situations, one is to strengthen the transaction. At this time, this kind of transaction is generally a seller's market, and the team may need to pay more chips than the actual value, such as more draft picks. The other is a transaction to terminate someone's contract. This kind of transaction is a buyer's market. You want to sell, others don't necessarily want to buy, it depends on how you convince others.
Obviously, Wiggins belongs to the player who wants to get rid of him in the forest. His transaction belongs to the buyer's market. Whether the transaction can be concluded depends on whether the buyer is willing to facilitate the transaction. At present, it seems that few teams are interested in Wiggins.
This is also easy to understand. As the No.1 scholar of 20 14, Wiggins has been in this league for five seasons, but his performance is increasingly out of proportion to the title of No.1 scholar. Last season, Wiggins averaged 18. 1 point, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists. The data is barely passable, but the efficiency is very poor. The shooting percentage is only 4 1.2%, and the three-point shooting percentage is 33.9%. It is hard to imagine that this is the answer given by a man who has been a champion for five years and is called a genius beyond measure. And his efficiency value (PER) is even worse. Only 12.4 last season, the lowest career.
In his third year as a rookie, Wiggins played the best performance of his career, averaging 23.6 points per game, shooting 45.2% and shooting 35.6 from three-pointers, all of which were the peaks of his career. It is precisely because of this performance that the Timberwolves sent Wiggins a 5-year17+00 maximum salary contract.
According to Wiggins' performance, the future, his future, can be said to be bright. However, after Wiggins signed a big contract, he suddenly seemed to be a different person and unwilling to make progress. Wiggins, as a small forward, has long arms and excellent athletic ability. Such a new star should have played more aggressively, but on the court, you can hardly see his murderous look. As if his big contract is safe, the team has nothing to do with winning or losing. Because of the "keeping in good health" style of play, the fans nicknamed him "Lycium barbarum".
Judging from Wiggins' contract, last season was the first year of his big contract, with an annual salary of 33.33 million, which means that his contract still has four years, 65.438+0.10.40 billion. With a contract of more than 30 million yuan, he played about 6.5438+0.5 million (Gordon of the Rockets was 6.5438+0.406 million, averaging 654.38+0.6 points last season). No wonder the timberwolves want to trade him.
However, the NBA is smart. The Timberwolves want to send Wiggins away, and other teams will not accept his contract for nothing. This means that the Timberwolves still need some draft picks to send Wiggins away, and they may eat some junk contracts. For the Timberwolves, Wiggins' contract has not reached the point of damaging the team's long-term development, and a hasty transaction may make him suffer heavy losses. After all, in the buyer's market, it is normal for the other party to speak. Another worry of the Timberwolves is that Wiggins is still young after all. Maybe one day he will wake up and change his talent again. Did you find that the second place of the Lakers has only been out for a long time, and it has already been an all-star? You're still a champion, so you give up so easily? Obviously, the Timberwolves are in no hurry to trade Wiggins.
After all, Wiggins has four years left on his contract, and his contract does not contain any player options. So the timberwolves can observe him for several years. Now that the timberwolves have released the news early, it is actually more meaningful to urge Wiggins not to waste his time in the beautiful years. Players have a sense of crisis and may have the right attitude on the court. Otherwise, being the host's waiter every day will develop an arrogant character.
Finally, I hope Wiggins can wake up early and fulfill his talents. After all, it would be a pity if such a good prospect becomes an injured Zhong Yong.
First of all, the biggest problem is that he has no desire to win. Three years of zero offensive fouls is enough to show how "civilized" his attack is. Wiggins' talent and his performance in recent years are really worthy of a team's contribution. But after he joined the League for five years, his level has not improved, but has declined. From this, we can see the problem. He is more like a data brush than scoring to win.
Butler had a big fight with the management because Wiggins had no winning attitude, which had a great influence on a player. Think of Howard back then. Although the team wants it, his salary is getting lower and lower every year. Wiggins just signed a five-year contract of 65.438 billion+48 billion. What should he do with it? Spend a lot of money to destroy it? Obviously not appropriate.
