Wiggins is going to be under a lot of pressure in Minnesota. I mean, even just look at their core players. When Martin and Pekovic are your best scorers, that puts an extraordinary amount of pressure on Wiggins to be the guy. Maybe Wiggins has the toughness to endure it. I hope he does. But there are plenty who worried that he doesn't have that kind of fire and I just hope he can play under this kind of pressure. It's a tough situation. I know it's a business, but I feel for the kid. |

Yeah, I do. Granted, the lottery could have easily just landed him in Minnesota anyway. But he landed in a spot I said even before the draft was the perfect situation for him. If we were talking about Jabari Parker or Embiid, I would say that Minnesota would be a good situation for him. I don't feel the same about Wiggins. I think he will be fine. But I think he's a guy who could have slowly turned into a star. I just hope the pressure he'll face being the go to guy won't get to him.
Or who knows, maybe it forces him to develop a killer instinct. Maybe he's tougher than I think he is. We'll see. I like the kid and have nothing against Minnesota so I hope he succeeds. |

Because he is 19 years old. In basketball yeArs, he might as well be 6. I've been talking about holes in his game for months. And part of that is that he is often unsure of himself. He doesn't attack whether that's driving or even making an aggressive pass. Again, we are not talking about a very confident player like Jabari Parker. We are talking about a guy who probably should be eased into the game.

Lebron was a confident player. I don't think wiggins is. I don't think wiggins will be solid right away. He will get criticized. We will see how he handles that kind of pressure. There are plenty of players who melted under pressure because they were asked to do too much too soon. |
