When it comes to Andrew Wiggins, there are two facts pertaining to him that must be acknowledged.
The first: The massive contract the Golden State Warriors inherited as a result of trading away D’Angelo Russell, Jacob Evans, and Omari Spellman for Wiggins and a couple of picks (one that turned into Jonathan Kuminga) will continue to hamper the team’s cap flexibility for years to come. Such a contract will pay Wiggins approximately $31.6 million this upcoming season, an All-Star-level investment for a player who hasn’t touted All-Star-level production.
What Wiggins produced last season for the Warriors, however, brings us to the second fact: Wiggins had perhaps the best season of his career in terms of value and impact.
