He wasn't being "doubted", we picked him over literally every other player with the first pick in the draft. He was just the price tag to get Kevin Love this summer.

Wiggins doesn't seem like a superstar talent just yet, but he can definitely get there. I can't imagine him not becoming an All-Star at some point in his career. Already a great natural defender. BBIQ and offense will come with time. Man LeBron would have been such a great mentor for Wiggins.

There was no way he was going to be our pick if Embiid hadn't broken his foot.

Looked intimidated by Kobe who used some old man tricks on him. Twolves got lucky as Kobe got a great look at the end.
Byron Scott is an awful coach: he had Nick Young play freakin PG down the strech. That being said Lin was totally out of control so maybe it's just the Lakers suck

What I love about the type of players like Wiggins is that even if they have an off night offensively, they still contribute something on the other end.
OT: From the boxscore it seems like Kobe actually had a very good and efficient night, yet they still lost. Goes to show how bad this current Lakers team is.

Wiggins looked bad last night. But his boy, Zach Lavine looked very good last night. The combined athleticism on the wing between Wiggins and Lavine is unreal. 28 points and 5 assists for Zach Lavine in the win over Los Angeles.

Fascinating team: they have a different guy have a good game every night but only that one guy and maybe another total play well so they keep losing for the most part. Tonight Shabazz had a great game but another loss

This isn't really related to Wiggins but man did I warn some people about the "fun" level of this team being low. Young, athletic guys does not a fun basketball team make. They have the second worst point differential in the league. There is very little entertainment value to be derived out of a team losing by double digits on a regular basis.

I think watching players develop and grow ain't your thing.
You obviously know a lot about "fun". If only I had listened to you I would not have wasted my time watching the very very young team get used to the NBA. Seeing these guys dunk and run the floor has nothing on basking in a positive point differential from the warm glow of my computer screen.

Woo, you couldn't be more hostile for no reason at all.
I'm sure Minnesota fans, people who actually care about the team, are having a blast watching their team get blown out nightly.
Now, what's funny is that I watched nearly every game the Cavs played the last four years. So I know all about watching players develop and grow. But you are right, I'm not a fan of watching bad basketball endlessly.

*shrugs*.
People are literally having fun watching a young guy grow into the NBA with his team who has a lot o potential and no savvy. You come in to say it's no "fun" because they lose pretty bad often in a stacked conference.
I think we all know the no fun no hope of having a bad team with no prospects like our 2010 team. This Minny team is way more like after we got Kyrie and there is all this potential except they have way more pieces. Sure it can be frustrating, but it's fun for some people to watch a young team struggle and get better as they grow.
You come to this thread desperately showing how bad their team is. No shit their record says so. Everyone knows that.
Minnesota fans are psyched. They have a brand new core of super young high potential guys instead of the dread of Kevin Love leaving after the summer and having nothing to look forward to.
Sorry, but I had to laugh at posting how you "warned" people about the lack of fun when all people are posting is excitement about Lavine, Wiggins, and Bennett.
Alert everyone! Looking for flashes of talent and enjoying 29 point games by raw rookies is not "fun" largely due to the point differential. Please adjust your frowns accordingly while watching the Wolves. No exclamations of "wow" or "that is amazing". Please no high fives when Wiggins does something no one else in the NBA can do.

To be fair, Wiggins has been sick the last couple games. He was throwing up at halftime against the Blazers last night.
