1. Andrew Wiggins

Weekly averages: 34.7 MPG – 24.7 PPG – 5.7 RPG – 1.7 APG – 49.1% FG – 42.1% 3PT – 60.9% FT

It was Andrew Wiggins who nailed that shot to cap off a thrilling week in Timberwolves land.

Okay, lets just watch it one more time just for good measure…

It wasn’t just the OKC game that Wiggins was hot in though, he was firing in all three games, scoring over 20 points in each.

The 3-point shooting will be a key factor to Wiggins game this year, but it has been Wiggins improved rebounding that may have caught the most eyes this week though.

His 5.7 per game are well above his career high 4.6 in his rookie season, it will be interesting to see if Wiggins can keep his intensity on the boards at this all-time high – as well as improving on the defensive end – he will be a force to be reckoned with this season.

And go Timberwolves!
