Moonshine I disagree, I think Wiggins has shown very good defensive potential, around 1.4 blks and 1.3 stls per game while on warriors, and has shown good effort on that side as well. I think Wiggins can also be someone who can be an athletic rim attacker next to Steph, Klay, and Dray. His 3 pointer needs work but he will be getting very open shots on the warriors. He will definitely be overpaid at around 27 million a year, buy I think he can be a good player on the warriors.

[@michaelbrantley6039]

(In advance I'm not hating you for your take, just a constructive critique on your opinion)....The thing with your klay hot take is that while your argument sounds like it has merit on the surface doesn't hold up under scrutiny...I get it sounds bad when people claim hes a top 15 player or whatever when hes only the 3rd or 4th best player on his own team(it was 3rd by the way) but when hes the 3rd best player on his team behind 2 of the top 3 players in the entire league (KD and steph) that leaves the POTENTIAL for him to be 4th best in the whole league still while if his teammates he was 3rd best behind were christ paul and blake Griffin or something- those 2 are only ranked 15-35th in the league leaving room for klay to be ranked only 36th best in the league at best. To sum up...leaving out where the 2 players on his team better than him rank league-wide is omitting critical context to where klay could rank in the league behind them. Personally I think hes about 15-20th when healthy he can give you 25-30 on offense whenever u need it and sometimes 50+ while he also locks down the opposing teams best player. Personally I feel hes 3% underrated because he does all the things bigger stars do and more but hes not flashy about it. If he learned how to handle better and cross up a few defenders next season hed get oooos and ahhhhhhs and put on a pedestal as a top 10 player easily,

[@unknownuser5645]

True shooting percentage is a measure for points per possession. A player that draws fouls and converts his free throws or is efficient from three has extra value for his team that can't be measured with classic fg%

[@jovanbelegisanin289]

Imagine player A takes 10 shots. He takes 2 three pointers, and 8 two pointers. He hits 1/2 three pointers, and he hits 4/8 two pointers. That player has 50% FG% 50% from 3, and has scored 11 points. Now imagine player B, who also takes 10 shots, 9 three pointers and a single two pointer. He hits 4/9 for three, and misses his single two pointer. This player has 40% FG% , and is sub 50% from 3, and while he has shot lower percentage than player A, he has scored more points than player A (12). True shooting takes into accounts how many points player gets per shot attempted, any shot. Player can have high field goal percentage, and be an inefficient scorer, and vice versa.

if klay gets curry touches, we're seeing 20+ point quarters every game

[@harmonicarchipelgo9351]

Yeah, they clearly underestimated Lebron's longevity. Even during his bad season last year, he was still top 20. And they also forgot that Kawhi Leonard existed. Sure, nobody thought he would be nearly as good as he is now but he was predictably top 20 considering how he was the reigning finals MVP in 2015.

[@WearyKawhi]

I can honestly say I’ve NEVER saw what people saw in him next kobe my ass lmao

[@1301407gl]

6'8 Athletic freak. Could handle the ball a bit could shoot a bit. He just didn't develop into a superstar. He had potential to be a better offensive kawhi

[@kushberry6679]

He was shooting a lot of mids, he used the post ups often. They had similar playstyles

[@jakedeluca6419]

In fairness, Wiggens was a beast prospect. He just hasn't improved his game at all since entering the league

[@bytbeats9591]

Idk I think Paul George could be almost on the same level as harden bc his defensive awareness is so valuable to a teams success. And if he had the green light like harden does he’d probably be a averaging like 25 to 28 and his defense added onto that? You could definitely ale the argument he’s an overall better basketball player than harden. But if you’re talking offense there’s no way he’s better

[@mbuonaguro102]

Winless for Wiggins!

[@MrBarborosa]

Yes. It is INSANE. Kyrie is wildly overrated

[@devdnsyd8875]

I mean if the NBA didn’t breakdown this kid’s confidence already trading him away, he maybe someone more. He has the talents to get him to that all star / superstar level. He was NEVER put in the right position to become a great player. The association ruined him, not him.

[@benn255b3]

As a King's fan we definitely ruin Boogies career or least wasted most of it, if we traded him like 2/3 year's earlier I think it would of benefited both side's.

[@benfitzpatrick9669]

i always think that what happened to Wiggins could happen to Zion...

[@Jordan-gm1jb]

Zion got too much fire in him for that to happen. The main reason Wiggins isn’t that good is confidence

[@1301407gl]

Happens to a lot of players. So many top high school players and up being average starters in the league. Not that they weren't good, but it's insanely hard to break out

[@GLB223]

9:32 he cracks

[@ALEXtheKILLER08]

I think you might be underrating PG's handles a little bit

[@gabe425]

Lmao "dont tell anybody"

[@bytbeats9591]

Boogie would’ve been so good if he didn’t get injured

[@lontaviusjones2813]

Remember when nba fan said lebron would regret trading. Wiggins for love

[@solarmoneyyeet7941]

Suprising Dame wasnt on this list he stays disrespected

[@ElijahMCurry]

Bender is still in the league in fact.. The Warriors are looking to keep him for some years to come.. They’re going to turn Wiggins Bender and Chriss into great role players around Steph Klay and Draymond. Warriors will be a problem next year.

[@ElijahMCurry]

Sharpshooter 02 And You think KD gonna win with the team he has? GSW future looks a lot better than most. Top 5 pick this year and two first round picks next year. Wiggins is much better than Harrison Barnes. We just got better without KD; will be a much deeper team.

[@ElijahMCurry]

Sharpshooter 02 Ok to put this in perspective what was the main reason why the GSW won for so long to begin with? One word.. Efficiency. They have the highest efficiency scoring 3pt shooters in the league; as long as Klay and Steph shoot the ball the majority of the time. Due to Steph being on the floor easier shots will be made for the supporting cast. And when your supporting cast aka Wiggins can score at an elite level he has no choice but to be efficient. People also forget how much of an advantage a team has when they have high IQ players. Draymond doesn’t get paid just for his performance he is a coach on the floor. Couple that with some new talent aka top 5 pick who also should have a High IQ because GSW will never draft someone so high that doesn’t know how to play right away. Most people think that they will draft Anthony Edwards or Wiseman. But I’ll guarantee they won’t because they don’t have the time to teach someone the in and outs of the game. There are only a few players with High basketball IQ on the offensive and defensive end coming up in the draft. Isaac Okoro and Tyrese Haliburton but based off of skill alone they will take Haliburton. Now they just acquired their bench point guard for the further until Steph retires. He is also a really efficient scorer. I really don’t understand how people are writing off the Warriors so easily. Klay just got comfortable with creating a shot off the dribble at a high efficient level; he’s still elevating his game. These young rookies they just had this year will be much better coming back due to the time they have in the gym plus no one wants to be traded from the team. People should be on the lookout for Eric Paschall and Jordan Poole. They will be nice pieces for the future plus Marquise Chriss ain’t a scrub either.

[@RariShiesty]

Also okafor never had a chance to polish because the sixes fucked him up and didn’t help him

[@bzhou123]

Wiggins is underrated now tbh

[@dusk6159]

No hell no
