2. Andrew Wiggins’ defense

Wiggins doesn’t care about defense! Or, at least it seems that way.

It certainly appears as though unless the game is on the line, he couldn’t care less. Think… Carmelo Anthony. In the long run it should be okay, but my problem is that it’s one of the main things that keeps him from being compared with the likes of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and LeBron James (at 21).

I hope and pray that this is simply a wrong perception, but there really isn’t a ton of evidence to suggest the contrary at this point in time. Of course, it isn’t solely effort; there are some technique issues as well that need to be corrected, and it could take some time.
