Did anyone see the Rockets overtime game? Wiggins took them to overtime and almost won the game during regulation by working in the post after some great put backs, and a couple tough shots.
He was aggressive and played some great end of game d on Harden, who has been a very clutch player this season.
Maybe he is passive sometimes, but I think this kid has it and he is still very young. He is definitely raw still, but the post game really surprised me. His room to grow is as large as anyone.
Agree on Lavine as well.
The post game shouldn't be too surprising, he's at his best on offense if he doesn't have to put in too many dribbles and he's forced to be part of the action: I think one of his first baskets this season was a post-up. His game is a lot like VC's: fadeaway jumpers using his elevation, and post-up again using elevation. Scouting report for him have been basically spot - on. Amazing athletes with some polished skills (3 point stroke and the aforementioned pull up jumper either off one dribble or post up) but really lacks ball skills and the lack of a good motor is a real concern.
A good point guard can alleviate some of that. He has a good noise for the ball, and I have seen him be pretty aggressive. I think the Paul George comparisons are pretty on and he is too smart to be Jeff Green.
You might want to want to wait more than a half from one game.KING DION! WE ARE ALL WITNESSES!!!!!!!!!!!
Wiggins already is showing the signs of being the best perimeter defender in the league, and perhaps the best shooting athlete (as a rookie) in generations.
