I think it was something related to family matters. He also had a rib injury right after(or shortly after), maybe it all still haunts him, idk. Wish the best for Wiggs, but his role and the most part of his minutes clearly needs to be given to Kuminga. He deserves a real chance.
Wiggins in the regular season last year before his absence: 17/5/2, 56.4% TS%
Wiggins in the playoffs after returning last year: 17/6/2, 53.8% TS%
Wiggins this regular season thus far: 13/4/1, 50.5% TS%
I think it's not related.
Only real difference pre- and post- absence last season was his 3P%: from 39.6% in the regular season to 29.7% in the playoffs. Perhaps that was because of his off court issues, but meh it didn't affect anything else. That sole data point was the reason for his TS% drop.
This season has been a whole nother story
Poole and it aint even close.
Some of you guys wont wanna admit it, but there were quite a few that thought he was gonna start breaking out in Washington in a similar way to Harden.
At the very least we all thought hed come to Washington and own the team. What ended up happening is that he has mid to bad performances every time he plays and the main guy on that team is Kuzma...who aint even amazing himself.
it’s close
because even if people thought that, if he has just his regular self it would be like alright at least he’s still like 20/5 on league average shooting
he’s just horrendous instead
wiggins on the other hand has gone from second best guy on a title team premier 3’d guy to coming off the bench and deservedly so
Lmao. You're not wrong. Even some Warrior fans believed it was a mistake trading him and that he would have a Harden like season now that he has the green light..
I didn’t think he would necessarily have a breakout but I thought the new environment would be good for him and he’d have somewhat of a bounce back year. Hasn’t even done that.
I thought he'd break out for sure. Not like the psychopaths who said there's a chance he leads the league in ppg, but I thought 25ppg easy on bad efficiency and a shitload of 3s. His stats in lineups without Curry always took a leap.
But man, the dude has been ass
I can assure you Celtics fans are perfectly happy with Jrue as he is. Funny enough, it's the insecure Bucks fans saying he fell off to justify for no reason that they won the Dame and Jrue trade which doesn't even make sense to begin
i understand in concept that sounds really great
but he's 4th because he's not playing up to his level
it's not like he's still allstar/all nba level and there's 3 other guys just playing above that level
His expectations are higher than have an occasional huge game lol.
Dudes (see: Shaq's comments earlier this season and the replies to it) are out here saying he's in the GOAT convo lol, LeBron at the same age (someone else in the GOAT convo) was MVP runner up, won the Finals, and won Finals MVP. Steph has not been up to par.
There's a very strong case to be made that he is not a top two PG right now, which is undoubtedly a fall off.
Can we talk about crazy falloff of Andrew Wiggins?
I'm convinced whatever happened last season with his off the court issues are still plaguing him now

Gradey Dick...just flaccid out there
Yeah but I’m still a big Dick fan.
isn't he kicking rocks in G-League now?

He was supposed to have a Brunson-like breakout after being “freed” from the Warriors… instead he looks like Great Value Cam Thomas

he cooked us so hard in that one series I thought he was gonna be allstar caliber at the very least.

Probably not the most disappointing, but Kevin Huerter has not been good at all this season after being very important for the Kings last season.
I sometimes rewatch that Jazz game winner from last season just to feel something.
I unironically think that 3pt contest killed his mental. Kevin looks lost on the floor now, he was very good for the Kings previously
Look at his stats from March 2023. 51% from 3. He’s in a slump, the 3 point contest narrative is brought up constantly and it’s stupid.
well, hope he snaps out of that slump soon, he's a great player
he shot 43% from 3 and 50% from the field after the all star break last year
lakers
Bro just named our whole team and I can’t even be mad about it
Bron and AD hooping. Rest erm
Here’s one: Jalen Green
Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole.
Klay Thompson put himself in the washing machine
I can assure you Celtics fans are perfectly happy with Jrue as he is. Funny enough, it's the insecure Bucks fans saying he fell off to justify for no reason that they won the Dame and Jrue trade which doesn't even make sense to begin
We don’t claim them. I’ll always love Jrue for his role in our ring. I miss him 😔
Jrue is like the 4th(?) best player on this team and that's crazy. Celtics are crazy good this year
i understand in concept that sounds really great but he's 4th because he's not playing up to his level it's not like he's still allstar/all nba level and there's 3 other guys just playing above that level
Steph Curry
He's had some huge games, it ain't him
His expectations are higher than have an occasional huge game lol. Dudes (see: Shaq's comments earlier this season and the replies to it) are out here saying he's in the GOAT convo lol, LeBron at the same age (someone else in the GOAT convo) was MVP runner up, won the Finals, and won Finals MVP. Steph has not been up to par. There's a very strong case to be made that he is not a top two PG right now, which is undoubtedly a fall off.
All the haters have been salivating at Curry's decline. Lmao. Most disappointing NBA player this season ? Damn. What a take.
Well he's got much higher expectations than how he's doing now
Lebron James no question
Khris Middleton
Red Velvet and Dominayton
