It’s the fifth year of Andrew Wiggins’ career, and we’re now more than a third of the way through the third consecutive year of regression from the Minnesota Timberwolves‘ highest paid player.
There was a school of thought that Wiggins’ play would improve after his overbearing wing teammate was traded to Philadelphia, and it wasn’t a crazy thought, necessarily.
More room to operate and more shots to go around, the thinking went. More opportunities to have ball in his hands in isolation and in pick-and-roll game. Fair enough, right?
Wrong. Andrew Wiggins is having the worst season of his NBA career, and it isn’t particularly close.
