At this point, it feels like Wiggins may never overcome that No. 2 label for the Rookie Rankings, but with nobody able to challenge him for that spot, he’s in a great position to be right there, ready to take over, every week.

The rookie shot only 33 percent from the field in five games. He did have three-straight double-digit scoring outings, but it’s not good enough to take that leap to No. 1.
