3. Euro-Step

The Euro-step has become a very popular move, not just in the NBA but at all levels of basketball. That’s not surprising considering how effective and simple the move is to execute. It’s also a thing of beauty when done properly.

Wiggins uses the Euro-step in two different situations. The first situation is in transition opportunities. Wiggins is able to use his quickness and athletic ability to separate from his defender when faking one way and going the other.

The second place Wiggins uses the Euro-step is in the half court. It is a lot more difficult to complete the Euro-step in the half court as there is not nearly as much space as in transition. This can often lead to turnovers as there is more congestion in the lane.

Wiggins is able to easily side-step the inside help and float the ball into the basket. This can also be an effective way to score as it minimizes the hits you take when driving to the basket.
