Andrew Wiggins is interesting to me. I see him play and you see the potential there. The athleticism, the offensive skillset. But is it just me or is Andrew Wiggins a bit overhyped? I’m not knocking him, don’t get my words misconstrued. But considering he got Rookie of the Year. He didn’t wow me.
His growth throughout the season was good, he improved incredibly month by month. Ricky Rubio, who spent a lot of time watching Wiggins and not playing with him, is clearly confident about Wiggins’ future and thinks he’ll be MVP someday.
“I think Wiggins is going to be an MVP one day,” said Rubio, who missed a large chunk of last season due to a severely sprained ankle injury.
“He’s a great player, [has] fit in this league very well since day one, and I think as a team we’re really young but we’re adding some veterans that’s going to help us to grow up and follow where we’re going to go – going to make the playoffs.”
Now I don’t want to say anything in terms of Wiggins getting into the MVP echelon of the league. I can’t see it right now, I would love to see him make it there. But scoring is only one part of the game. Dunking on people don’t get you MVP awards.
