Stories out of Golden State for the last two-plus years touting the change in Andrew Wiggins' game have always felt like a strange blend of fact and fiction.
You can objectively look at Wiggins' numbers since the seismic February 2020 trade from the Wolves to Golden State — more on that in a moment, with Zach Lowe's excellent look back at how that came together serving as the catalyst — and see that he's become a better version of himself. No longer asked to be a star, Wiggins stopped being an inefficient volume scorer and at least became a league-average wing offensively with the athleticism and size to have defensive upside.
