Wolves need to figure out what to do with Andrew Wiggins as he regresses

Jimmy Butler is gone. Tom Thibodeau is gone. Karl-Anthony Towns is thriving. That leaves Wolves fans (and media members) to fixate on one big issue: Andrew Wiggins.

The fifth-year Wolves player has regressed this season as his five-year max contract has kicked in. So today’s question is this: Both short-term and long-term, what can the Wolves do about Wiggins?

Short of owner Glen Taylor investing in the unlikely invention of a time machine so the Wolves can undo the max extension they gave Wiggins in 2017, their options aren’t great.

Short-term, they can ride it out for the last 16 games of the season and hope Wiggins gains more traction and consistency under interim coach Ryan Saunders.
