Timberwolves’ Season Grades

Andrew Wiggins: A

Along with Towns, Wiggins had a fantastic season. He averaged 23.6 points per game while shooting 45.2 percent from the field. People questioned his three-point shooting and he improved his percentage by nearly six percent, raising it to 35.6 percent. He even had multiple 40+ point games.

The dynamic duo of Wiggins and Towns is becoming one of the more dangerous duos in the league. Last Sunday, when the Wolves played the Lakers, Wiggins and Towns combined for 81 points. Pretty tough to beat a team that has two players score 81 points. Well, the Lakers did win, but that’s not Wiggins’ fault.

As Wiggins matures in the league, his jump shot improves. Once he becomes a lights out jump shooter, he’ll be nearly impossible to guard. Hopefully, he can get his three-point percentage to hover around 40 percent. If he does that, he’ll be scoring nearly 30 points per game.

Similar to Towns, I’m already excited to see what Wiggins accomplishes next season as he heads into his fourth season in the league. He’s improved his game in every season and over the course of three years has only missed one game.

When LaVine tore his ACL, Wiggins took over as the high flyer. Wiggins had multiple poster dunks this season, that took my attention away from the scoreboard.

Wiggins will most likely spend this off-season working on his jump shot and his defense. While his jump shot improved a bit this season, he still has a ways to go before becoming that lights out shooter that he can become.

The only thing that makes his grade an A and not an A+, is his defense. Wiggins’ defense this season was sub-par. Along with most T-Wolves, he needs to improve on the defensive end.
