I've said it plenty of times before but, even though I still hate that we gave him a mini-max and would rather have LaVine to be the third/fourth guy because he would have fit the role better, I would lay way off on Wiggins if he'd stop taking so many loving stupid shots and could raise his FT% to something vaguely respectable.

Demar always had a great FT%. Having a bad FT% as a wing is the first mark of being lazy in my mind.

Wiggins, a bad player, is always healthy which gives you the value of always having a bad player on the floor

I feel like if Wiggins could make free throws he'd probably drive to the basket more which would solve both the "bad at free throws" and "takes loving stupid shots" problems at once.

I'm not saying Wiggins is definitively bad, but I think my offseason take of "There's no reason the Timberwolves should be giving Andrew Wiggins a max extension a year before they have to" is aging pretty well

On the one hand, it looked like Ingram really needed the break after the third quarter of the Wolves game. On the other, all star break is basically interrupting him playing pretty good basketball and like so far interruptions for him always have disrupted him doing good things for a while.

I was responding to the "Free Throw % is a sign a wing is lazy" portion, obviously Wiggins is nowhere near the track Lebron was on early in his career. CRISPYBABY posted:I mean you're not wrong, but the single year regression he's had this year has been worrisome. Obviously he's in a totally different situation usage wise from his previous years, but his %'s are down across the board. I agree here. The "Wiggins must be bad" narrative is way too early but the "Wiggins may not fit on this roster" is pretty legit. He is still important to the team as he is a matchup mismatch for a lot of smaller wings and if Butler is cold its really nice to have another perimeter scorer who is not Jeff Teague. But you can get a lot of that from guys who are also better defenders, or at least are better off-ball. Either Wiggins will have to pick up those skills or something will need to change.

It's most likely they renounce Redick and resign him to a full mid level. By we shall see. Well I guess there is nothing to renounce but you know what I mean.

He was a raw prospect, though I am not sure if he would have benefited in terms of his development staying in school another year. It might have helped his draft stock though, 2009 was pretty strong in the top 10 and 2010 fell off a cliff pretty fast (DeRozan proably would have gone around Wes Johnson). I don't think that's a good reason to stay in most cases. If your a lottery prospect, you'll develop more and make more money if you come out in 99% of the situations.

ESPN just put out a pretty good piece on Demar's upbringing, good read. I knew he had afucked up childhood. I didn't quite realize how hosed up. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22454605/the-virtue-demar-derozan quote:At 5 years old, DeMar attended his first funeral. His uncle Kevin had been shot in the heart by a member of the rival Bloods gang. If Diane recalls her brother as "a good guy who went to work every day," DeMar remembers him as "one of the biggest Crips in Compton." It was as if someone famous had died. "Kind of like a parade," he says. Wiggins on the other hand grew up in one of the most boring, quaint suburbs of Toronto
