For as much as he drives and likes to score off contact, Wiggins doesn’t execute as much as he and many others would like.

If Wiggins could up his free-throw percentage this season to 80 percent this season it would go along way. There is so many times a team could be winning games late in the game, or even throughout the season, if they could just hit a few free-throws.

It’s such an underrated category, that often times get’s overlooked. It shouldn’t be to hard to fix some of his free-throw issues, as it’s basically a free point. If he can practice this a little more over the off-season – it would help a lot down the stretch late in games.
