NBA: Most likely first time All-Stars from each team

NBA: Most likely first time All-Stars from each team: Golden State Warriors – Andrew Wiggins

It’s time Andrew Wiggins. It’s simply time.

For years on end, NBA executives, fans, head coaches and even his fellow players have sat back and watched Wiggins dominate on a nightly basis. There’s nothing he can’t do on the floor. Wiggins is a solid 3-point shooter, has a smooth midrange game, is money from the free-throw line, and at any given time, he can turn any opposing big man into a poster.

Yet, for some reason, Wiggins just hasn’t put it all together. His talent screams not only All-Star but All-NBA and MVP level candidate. As a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, it didn’t click. Sure Wiggins spent numerous seasons averaging over 20 points a night but the Wolves were a bottom feeder pretty much every year.

Now that Wiggins has jumped ship and is a member of the Golden State Warriors, this should be his best season ever. Last year, as the second option behind Steph Curry, Wiggins poured in 18.6 points a game.

The Warriors should have all of their parts at some point this season. As long as Klay Thompson looks as good as ever, the Warriors could be the top seed in the entire Western Conference. Or, at least somewhere in the top three.

Wiggins is going to do what he always does. He’ll drop 18-20 a night (albeit his numbers are a bit down at the moment), play solid defense, and have moments where he’s the best player on the floor. If he can simply prove that he can contribute to a winning franchise, All-Star voters are going to fall in love with him.
