Wiggins has been a double-happy goal this season, with the team achieving the second best result in the league and being selected as an All-Star starter. Wiggins could also reach a career milestone in tomorrow's game. Wiggins currently has 11,077 career points, ranking 43rd in active duty. Clippers star and two-time Finals Most Valuable Finals winner Leonard has a career total of 11,085 points, and Wiggins has no problem surpassing the next game based on Wiggins' average of 18 points per game this season. And the next game the Warriors play against is the Western Conference weak team Rockets.
Wiggins has been named an All-Star starter this season, and in addition to the support of Warriors fans, people should not ignore one thing: Wiggins has set a new career high in many statistics this season, such as a career high of more than 40% shooting rate from three points, and a career high with a true shooting rate. As the Warriors' No. 2 scorer and number one outside defender, Wiggins is a diligent worker, and the Warriors' second-best record in the league this season is inseparable from him. Career scoring is another milestone for Wiggins, who surpassed Clippers superstar Leonard.
Wiggins proved his scoring ability early in his career, and Wiggins averaged more than 16 points per game in his rookie season, which is definitely not bad. In season 2, Wiggins averaged more than 20 points per game and shot a passing 46 percent from the field. In the third season of his career, Wiggins averaged nearly 24 points per game and was already a qualified scorer. Wiggins is a bit retro in scoring, he is not a magic ball player, Wiggins is a threat to break through during the Timberwolves period, and his shooting ability is not bad. Although the three-point shooting ability is average, thanks to his super physical talent, Wiggins can always easily break through and cause damage.
After coming to the Warriors, Wiggins adjusted his playing style in time, and in the Warriors, he could not have obtained a large number of shots during the Timberwolves period. But thanks to Curry's presence, Wiggins can get a lot of open shooting opportunities, and Wiggins's three-point output efficiency has increased in the past two seasons. Wiggins himself has also been constantly polishing the three-point shot, and during the Timberwolves' time, his three-point shooting was more fixed, and in the Warriors, there have been many three-pointers with the ball.
It's not surprising that Wiggins surpassed the small card in career totals. Because compared with Leonard, Wiggins scored averagely, but the attendance rate was terrible. Why is Wiggins highly expected? Because he has super physical talent, especially his attendance. Wiggins was rarely injured in his career, and he was an uncompromising iron man, and many minor injuries Wiggins endured and passed, still playing on the field. Wiggins played a total of 570 games in eight seasons of his career, which means that he averaged more than 71 appearances per season. Wiggins had 3 of his first four seasons in attendance, and if the 19-20 season had not been affected by the epidemic, Wiggins' career average appearances could have been higher. If Wiggins can maintain this healthy state in his future career, I am afraid that by the end of his career, his total score will be more than 20,000 points, and even more than 25,000 points.
If an NBA player wants to create milestones, in addition to having super ability, he also needs to have excellent attendance. After all, no stats or records can be created without playing.
