Sleepy or cool? Apathetic or poised? A developing young talent or a blight on the franchise that made him rich?
Sunday night, in the Timberwolves’ home opener, Andrew Wiggins proved that the most sensical unifying theory regarding his career is that he is a contrarian.
After three quarters in which he looked sluggish and lost, Wiggins won a game from the three-point line and got mobbed on the bench by an undefeated team in front of a suddenly rowdy crowd. Sources say he even smiled.
Wiggins had shot poorly in the first two games, although his ability to drive to the basket had helped deliver a victory in Brooklyn.
