Comparing the Timberwolves to Each Eighth-Seed

Andrew Wiggins vs. Trevor Ariza vs. Tobias Harris

Small forward is a bit tricky — it’s all about the point of view. Andrew Wiggins was the Rookie of the Year in 2014-15, and in his second season made huge strides in becoming that superstar everyone thinks he will be.

In only his second season, Wiggins averaged 20.7 points per game. Wiggins has averaged more points than both Ariza and Harris this season and in their careers. In Ariza’s 11-year career, he has never been the type of scorer that Wiggins is, and neither has Harris in his four-year career.

The experience of Ariza and his defensive prowess is perhaps the reason why some put Ariza among the top of these three players, but the fact that his offensive game or lack there of is not that great, I have to put Wiggins atop the group.

"This was Harris’ first playoff series, and he averaged 14.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and three assists in 39 minutes. He’ll return to the Pistons next season and could see his role expand alongside Marcus Morris and Andre Drummond down low. This was Harris’ first playoff series, and he averaged 14.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and three assists in 39 minutes.

Harris would be second then Ariza. Harris has bounced around a lot in his short career, but he is still a very good talent to have on your team. He averaged 14.7 for the year and 6.7 rebounds.
