Andrew Wiggins continues to elevate his play
Stephen Curry and Draymond Green were the focal points to talk about in this game against the Lakers for the Warriors, but Andrew Wiggins had a spectacular two-way game as well. He drew the tough assignment of having to guard LeBron James and all game long, he did a fantastic job doing so.

Not only did he guard James at a high-level, but Wiggins also was a critical piece on the offensive-end of the court for Golden State. Andrew Wiggins scored 21 points on 10-18 from the floor on the offensive-end of the court and while his stat sheet may not show what he did defensively, he was just as active on that end of the court!
LeBron James shot 7-17 from the floor and scored 22 points on the game, but when he was guarded by Wiggins in this one, he only made 2 out of 10 shots he took against him. Not only did he have 4 points against Wiggins, but he also had his shot blocked once by the young wing.
The Warriors know what they are going to get from guys like Steph and Draymond, but if they can get these kinds of two-way performances from Andrew Wiggins, they are not only going to be able to beat the Grizzlies, but they will be able to give the Jazz a run for their money.
Andrew Wiggins is the key to success for the Golden State Warriors and if he can continue to grow into a two-way star in this league, which he is capable of doing, then this Warriors team is not only going to make some noise in the playoffs this year, but moving forward when Klay Thompson returns as well!
