Another game. Another 20 point night. Its become routine for him now. He started the game 1-6 with only 4 points in the first half. A few weeks ago, he would've ended the game with that stat line. Now, he turns around in the second half and finishes the game with 20/7/4 on 8-18 shooting. I wouldn't be surprised if he averages 20ppg the rest of the season.

and its not just numbers. At the start of the year he could only score while being assisted. Either being spoon fed near the basket or scoring off catch n shoots in the perimeter. Then all of a sudden a couple of weeks ago he debuted a post game (something that took LeBron 9 years to figure out). Now if you put a guard on him or a small 3, he can get him in the post where he has developed a nice step back jump shot and even a kobe-esque fadeaway jumper. And then yesterday, he debuted another aspect of his evolving game. He's now attacking defenses from pick n rolls. Even with a suspect handle, he showed nice ability being able to read the help and either turning the corner to go to the basket or simply side stepping the pick and taking the jump shot. He even trusted his handle enough last night to take the ball a couple of times coast to coast from his basket to the other. Something I didn't see earlier this season.

We haven't even hit the summer yet and he's improving by leaps and bounds each week. :wow:

The boy has been cookin as of late. His development in a 2-3 months span has been crazy :whew:

Leaving CLE turned out to be a good move

I said that when the trade happened and nikkas attacked me. They said that playing with LeBron would help him. :mjlol:

I said Bron would hide his deficiencies. He wouldn't develop there because he woulda been forced into being just a spot up shooter and defender (like everyone else who plays with Bron). Wiggins needed to be in a situation like Minnesota. A place where he couldn't hide and settle being what he is right now. He needed to be forced to address his weakness. Develop a handle. Develop a post game. Develop a pick n roll game. etc.

He's pretty much a different player right now than he was just a few weeks ago. Crazy rate of improvement.

I wouldn't go so far as saying it's mind boggling, but the potential is certainly starting to show.

No it isn't
He's a young man with confidence. Now when that confidence catches up with his talent in 3/4 years....:whoo:
