What Happened To Andrew Wiggins?
In his first full season with Golden State last year, Andrew Wiggins emerged as a key two-way threat on the wing and he showed off his versatility for this deep Golden State Warriors squad.
This season, Wiggins has taken his game to new heights, averaging a career-high 39.5% from three-point range and earning a trip to his first All-Star Game, where he received the honors of actually being one of five players from the Western Conference to start in the game.
At 27-years-old, Andrew Wiggins has been having a career year and is one of the essential weapons on both ends of the floor that will help the Warriors go deep in the playoffs, but he has struggled ever since the All-Star break.
In 12 games since the All-Star break, Wiggins has averaged just 14.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and has shot just 39.5% from the floor, 31.3% from three-point range.
