honestly, i think his athleticism is overrated. he is agile, yet still manages to come off as mechanical. He has good vertical leap, but doesn't really appear that explosive that much when he plays. he seems to have a decent first step, but he's not fast/i don't think i've ever seen him actually sprint. shyt is infuriating.



people have been calling him a 2 when he clearly is not, and shyt is starting to annoy me with the pleas that people are copping for him "playing out of position". Dude is 6'9 with average handles/weak hands and an unreliable jumper. he is not a 2 no matter how much people claim it. Oh, and lavine is the wolves' best offensive perimeter player; wiggins' advantage is that he has a post-up game, but lavine is better offensively all across the board otherwise.

Word. Wiggins for as good a vertical athlete as he is does not wow me with his acceleration in the open floor and his explosiveness.

They underrated the shyt out of my boy Jabari's athleticism. Him and Giannis dunk everything with ferocity.

Agreed, that Wiggins is playing out of position shyt is bullshyt.

Nah Wiggins is an athletic freak. It's laziness and a lack of handle that makes him look less athletic. But I've seen it. Dude is the fastest, quickest 6'8" player I've ever seen he's just lazy as fukk smh. Huge waste of athleticism

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.
