This is my 19th Wiggins vid this season. Damn! DownToBuck definitely makes exceptions to his “scrubs only” when it comes to rookies. 19 highlight packages is the second most of any player for me this year, at the time of this writing. You can guess who is first.
No, it’s not Ersan Ilyasova.
Yes, I wish it was Ersan Ilyasova.
The correct answer is Giannis Antetokounmpo, with 20. You could consider the top three (the third being Dennis Schroder) a perfect list of the most hypeable non-star players in the league.
Truly, Andrew Wiggins is turning into a beast right before our very eyes. He’s exceeding the expectations of many, yet missing the expectations of many as well. He’s not the next LeBron, and those who proclaimed such things should feel nothing but regret for their actions. How does next MJ sound? Pretty damn good. Music to my god-damn ears.
