Throughout the Jimmy Butler era in Minnesota, there were legitimate concerns about the fit between him and Andrew Wiggins. Both are athletically gifted players who love to go to work in the post and beat players with a variety of fade away jumpers, so they got in each other’s way a lot of the time. Butler is of course a lot better than Wiggins, but many point to the fact that Wiggins’ best year came before the arrival of Jimmy Butler in 2016-17; A legitimately good season where Wiggins averaged 23.6 points per game on improving 45/35 splits gave Wolves fans hope for the future.
