If that seems far fetched now, that&#8217;s because it is. He clearly has not lived up to that type of expectation and the backlash over the past few years has been swift. It&#8217;s not just that he didn&#8217;t become the next LeBron, many people feel he hasn&#8217;t even become the best version of himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who watches him play comes away with the same\nimpression. He never looks like he&#8217;s playing hard or particularly interested.\nThat didn\u2019t stop the Minnesota Timberwolves from giving him a $147 million max\ncontract in 2017. If they had to do it over again, I&#8217;m not sure they pay him\nthat money.&nbsp; Last season he shot 41% from\nthe field which was a career low. It&#8217;s not the best way to reward your franchise\nfor believing in you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wiggins-says-snub-doesnt-bother-him\">Wiggins Says Snub Doesn&#8217;t Bother Him<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The snub by ESPN is just another in a long line of criticism\nthat has been thrown Wiggins&#8217; way over the last few years. &#8220;I don&#8217;t really\nlook at that too much, top 100 or not top 100,&#8221; Andrew Wiggins was quoted\nas saying. The last two seasons haven&#8217;t been easy on Wiggins who had to deal\nwith the rage of Jimmy Butler. That story is old at this point but also one of\nthe strangest in NBA history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There had been whispers before that about Wiggins not living\nup to his potential but Butler&#8217;s criticism raised those whispers into a crescendo.\nBy the time Butler left town for Philly, all eyes went back to Wiggins and Karl\nAnthony-Towns. Anyone that watches KAT play can never accuse him of not looking\ninterested. He doesn&#8217;t always play great defense but if Wiggins hasn&#8217;t\nfulfilled his potential, the same can&#8217;t be said about KAT. As for Wiggins, once\nButler was gone, so were the excuses. As his play continued to get worse in\nButler&#8217;s absence, so did the criticism of Wiggins game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"not-wiggins-fault-he-got-paid\">Not Wiggins Fault he Got Paid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a franchise trades for you as the number one pick, they\nhope to one day offer you a max extension. That is usually a sign that you&#8217;ve\ndone everything they hoped and their investing in a future with you as the face\nof the franchise. That&#8217;s what happened for Andrew Wiggins until Jimmy Butler\nruined it. That part is obviously more complicated than that but lets ask one\nquestion, would the Wolves have been better off paying Butler than Wiggins?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we&#8217;re talking about winning right now, then yes they\nshould have given Butler that money. To be clear, a team consisting of Butler\nand KAT as your best players are probably not winning an NBA title. It&#8217;s a nice\nduo to have but that team as it was constructed had a ton of holes. Tom\nThibideau has since been relieved his duties. The past is the past so Andrew\nWiggins still has plenty of time to finish the narrative of his basketball\nstory. This is only year six for Wiggins so to say he is the finished product\nis a bit na\u00efve. That being said, talk is cheap and at present, until we see the\ndesire to be better from Wiggins, it&#8217;s all talk and nothing more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrew Wiggins has been the subject of a lot of criticism over the past several years and now he has been left off of the ESPN top 100 players list.
