When Wiggins got the big contract for the Timberwolves. It seems that he changed his mind and suddenly played healthy basketball. Playing ball seems to be more like his daily work and task. He has always been pessimistic about winning or losing. Instead of showing off his talents on the court every night, he adopted a "casual" attitude. I want to play. Don't play if you don't want to. This attitude has also led to a decline in his data in recent seasons. As a young player with high hopes for the team, it also caused dissatisfaction among his teammates. When Butler left the Timberwolves, when the Timberwolves needed him to organize an attack, he only handed over 18 points per game.
Wiggins at that time was really heartless. Having been a teammate for a season, Butler was dissatisfied with Wiggins' professional ethics and defensive performance. Tom Sibudu, then head coach of Timberwolves, also had a similar view on Wiggins, hoping that a tough and experienced player like Butler would promote Wiggins by joining the locker room, but it failed.
During the Timberwolves' period, Wiggins was lax on the court and lacked the desire for victory. He often gives people an attitude of "doing nothing" and basically doesn't play half the ball in the past. The defensive end is the biggest shortcoming of the Timberwolves. Although the mid-range jumper has improved, it is not enough to kill the quartet.
Wiggins averaged 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2. 1 assists in his rookie season, and it seems that such data is not played by him. 16 season, Wiggins averaged 23+4+2 per game, which also made the Timberwolves send him a five-year contract of 65438+46 million. The original intention of Timberwolves is to make Wiggins feel valued, become the cornerstone of the team and lead the team forward, but Wiggins, who got the big contract, is healthier.
