Andrew Wiggins is about to reach another NBA scoring milestone. But, to Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau, his improvement can be seen in just about every other part of his game.
Still only 22 years old, Wiggins scored 15 points in the Wolves’ 118-107 victory over New Orleans on Saturday night, giving him 5,996 for his career. Wednesday at Cleveland, he presumably will be the sixth-youngest player in league history to reach 6,000 points.
“I think everyone understands what a gifted scorer he is,” Thibodeau said. “He can score the ball a lot of different ways. But what’s happening now, he’s developing a lot of areas in his game as well.
