wiggins is a great athlete sometimes bordering on elite with his tools, but he is not a freak at all, especially in the way that he uses his tools. the main freak/scary athletes i see playing right now are westbrook, bron (even as he's gotten older), lavine, giannis, aaron gordon, and big guys like drummond, jordan, and embiid border on freak given their size. wiggins is long and has a nice vertical, but nowhere near as explosive or fast as any of the wing players I mentioned nor uses the athleticism he has as he should. In fact, he's not very fast at all, he usually looks like he's on a Sunday jog down the court. Now is part of this effort? definitely, but his athleticism is still overrated.
I promise you. I've watched Wiggins for a long time. Dude is a freak. That's why he's such a disappointment in my eyes. The reason he looks like he's on a Sunday jog is not because he's slow. It's because he's lazy. It's lack of effort. His athleticism isn't overrated. He's just that disinterested. And that's the issue. Dudes mom is a silver medal Olympic sprinter. He's stated if he wasn't a basketball player he'd probably run track. He's that fast. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it myself since he's always dogging it but he's a freak athlete. It's not even debatable. Wasting his athletic gifts

Clippers are going to fukk up & let CP3 play before they should with that hamstring instead of letting him rest it. Going to panic about losing to the last 2 & maybe having JJ out too & risk it becoming a lingering thing.

Wiggins is an effortless leaper but that's about it.

He's quick af and fast af when he's trying. But he's never trying. Y'all should look at his evaluation tapes in high school and he's sports science. I'm baffled that ppl think Andrew Wiggins isn't athletic :dwillhuh:. That's the whole reason he's disappointing
