preface
A new face has appeared on the All-Star Starter stage this year, and although he has been in the league for 8 years, this is the first time he has entered the All-Star Game as an All-Star starter. Everyone thinks his talent is comparable to Jordan, who should have averaged 30+ per game, but he averaged 18+ per game year after year, and this season Wiggins finally cashed in on his talent and entered the All-Star start, everything was on the right track, but who would have thought that after the All-Star holiday, Wiggins seemed to be lost again.
Lost Wiggins
Who is the most controversial all-Star starter this season, I'm afraid this person is Wiggins. Of the 10 All-Star starters, Wiggins was the only player to average less than 25 points per game, which made everyone think Wiggins' selection was not worthy of the name. Some people even shouted that Wiggins' selection of the All-Star starter is the embodiment of the NBA's meal circle, in fact, Wiggins has absolutely no problem becoming the all-star starter this year. As a frontcourt player, this season's Western Conference frontcourt except James and Jokic, there is really no one particularly prominent, especially George, Leonard, Davis and other players have suffered different degrees of injuries, in such a situation without choosing Wiggins can choose who else? Doncic and Paul, who lost the first selection, are all backcourt players, and the competition in the Western Conference backcourt is so fierce, isn't it also expected to lose the election?
But the problem is, Wiggins' performance after confirming his entry into the All-Star starting lineup really makes him unworthy of this honor. The entire month of February was Wiggins' worst month of the season, when he averaged just 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 41.2 percent from the field, the third-worst plus-minus on the team. Wiggins' poor performance allowed the Warriors to lose seven games throughout February, so it seems that Wiggins's selection as an All-Star starter is rather inappropriate. Isn't it reasonable to be better and better?
Wiggins is really problematic, maybe Wiggins is really not a health regimen over the years, he only has such a talent, the so-called shoulder-to-shoulder Jordan and James are virtual, or in the Timberwolves period has made Wiggins develop such a habit, and then Wiggins can not show all the levels. Just as the so-called greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, the original Warriors fans look forward to Wiggins to become a Durant-level player, and now it seems that Wiggins is going to Barnes again, how in less than a month, Wiggins is like a changed person, what is the problem?
Personality is destined to be difficult to become a great instrument
It's not actually Wiggins who got lost, he's always been one of those players. In the 2016-2017 season, Wiggins averaged 23.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, and everyone felt that this was the beginning of his peak, but he did not expect it to be The last peak of Wiggins. In the following seasons, his average score per game has been hovering around 18 points, and his strength has not improved a little but has declined, which is really very similar to Wiggins this season. So he's always been such a player, giving him too much expectation is a luxury, if Wiggins is strong enough, why did the Timberwolves choose to shoot him to the Warriors? It's not that Wiggins really didn't live up to expectations, he's not a superstar.
I have to say that Butler Spray Wiggins's words were really accurate: "I'm not the most talented player on this team." Who is the most talented on our team? Towns. Who are the god-blessed people on our team? Wiggins. But who plays the most? I! I play hard, throw my body into every training session, every game, that's my attitude, trying to lead the team in different directions, so that's what I'm showing today. "Wiggins's talent is indeed God's reward, but he really doesn't have the attitude to play, at least not to see the desire to win.
Wiggins's personality may really be too soft, the coach gave him the task, Wiggins will definitely complete, but outside the task, Wiggins will never do a little more, which is why he scored 18 points, the shot suddenly stopped. That's why Wiggins could have hit the inside and caused damage, but he just wouldn't do it because the coach didn't assign such a task. What did Wiggins do under Cole? Wiggins is a defensive tip, Wiggins is an auxiliary, and even seeing Poole and Lee blindly play Wiggins with the ball has no complaints, this personality is destined to make him difficult to become a great instrument.
Although Wiggins also has talent, but his attitude to basketball is probably not so persistent, from the beginning of the league Wiggins's original shortcomings, so far still have not been corrected, until now Wiggins as a small forward control and sports are not very qualified, he is very talented but the sense of ball is really bad, but this kind of thing should not be trained out of training? No one is born, not even Wiggins, these things can obviously be exercised the day after tomorrow, such as George, who dribbles together is also very bad, now? Now George's at least possession and dribbling are not his obvious shortcomings. Basketball is actually a bloody sport, and players with soft personalities really can't get a foothold in the NBA. To be honest, now the Warriors would rather see Wiggins frantically shoot iron than watch him mess around here, this is not what fans expect of him, Wiggins could have done more.
epilogue
The reason why there are such high requirements for Wiggins is not because the fans love him? But his performance is really sorry for the expectations of the fans, don't let the fans think that the All-Star vote for him is a wrong decision, Wiggins really should wake up. Do you really want to make your talent a laughing stock? Hopefully, he can make a change in the next game, and the Warriors really can't win the championship without Wiggins.
