[Gordon] Green says Andrew Wiggins is “more than capable” of operating as Golden State’s No. 2 offensive option: “Wiggs is a 20-point-a-night scorer for his career, pretty much. … You’re not asking him to be anything different than he’s been his entire career.”

17 point a night scorer though.
Is he?
Dream scenario will be both Wiggs and JK become a 3pt threat and we start them at 2 and 3 with TJD at 5.
Wiggs when he remembers he was drafted 1st overall
> His entire career
Dude averaged less than 14 ppg last season.
Wasn’t he brought in as a 3rd option and so he didn’t have to worry about putting up Minnesota numbers?
Eh is he though ?
The unspoken and very obvious thing why Wiggs should honestly return to form imo. He was always told Klay he was gonna be the 2nd option whenever Klay returned. So the psychology there especially for a dude like Wiggs was not on his side.
If anyone wants to know how much it impacts Wiggs to have Klay in his offensive hierarchy
>Andrew Wiggins has averaged 14.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 126 games with Klay Thompson in his career.
>Andrew Wiggins has averaged 19.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 580 games without Klay Thompson in his career.

Klays departure is the oxygen several of our players need to grow esp on the offensive end.
I would rather trust a No 1 pick who proved himself in championship run than a average second year rookie think he is some sort of leader all day 😂
I have faith he just was off last year in a continuation of his few month absence the spring before
Yes, I have false hope but it’s only because he has no trade value. It is in him, so what if I believe he can return to form
Yeah I’m thinkin’ rumors of Wiggins’ decline have been greatly exaggerated
Delusional
Definitely capable. Hoping he’s got more clarity and purpose this season. Don’t need him to get 20 a game, but can’t have him at 12.
Warriors talking about this so much is comedy because he’s not a 2nd option on a championship team and everyone knows it.
He can be the main defender but offensively the team cannot count on him day in day out.
I love Wiggs, but 2nd option this year has to be Joku
Setting up Wiggins for failure. 5 years since Wiggins has been a Warriors and people want to pretend he is comfortable for that kind of responsibility when his time has proven the opposite.
Wiggs is most comfortable at best operating as a third option or one of the guys who can score for you but to downright expect him to be your other go to guy every single night has simply not worked and probably still won’t. We’ve been with the guy for 5 years now, everyone ought to know that.
“Pretty much. Except last year. And the year before that. And the year before that…”
Didn’t he average like 12 a game last season?
