Objectively speaking, there is one aspect of the mouth brother who can enter the All-Star is more flattering, that is, the position.
On the morning of January 29, the NBA announced the all-star starting lineup for this season, and Wiggins became one of the Western Conference's starting frontcourt players with a comprehensive ranking of third with his outstanding performance in the fan vote. He became the third player in NBA history to make his All-Star debut as a starter after eight seasons in his career. The top two were Bob Boozer in 1967-68 and Lowry in 2014-15.
Looking at Lowry, his career trajectory is very similar to That of Wiggins. In the rocket's last two seasons, Lowry averaged 14+4+6 per game, and the stats were quite good. But after coming to the Raptors, after coming to an environment that suited you best, your career began to advance by leaps and bounds. Lowry and Wiggins may be the same, unable to reach the level of players like Curry, James, Durant, but if you go to a suitable environment, go to a leader who suits you best, and integrate into the system that suits you best, you may be able to complete the leap from a high-quality player to an All-Star player.
Since the restructuring of the 1966 Draft, a total of 40 players have been selected as all-stars in the NBA, and Wiggins is the only player to be selected as an All-Star until the eighth season of his career. Wiggins has been slammed by fans for so many years for a reason, he is indeed a champion, from excellent to mediocre, excessive goalkeeper level. Judging from this year's voting results, Wiggins mainly has an advantage in fan voting. Wiggins received a total of about 3.45 million votes in the three rounds, ranking third in the West and about 600,000 more votes than George in fourth. Many people questioned the suspicion that the mouth brother had the suspicion of brushing votes, relying on the thai star Bam's canvassing, and riding on the fan vote. But the all-star ratio is the voting, including the enthusiasm of the fans, but also the marketing ability of the team and the team. All-Star is all about getting the players most people want to see on the starting stage, and instead of complaining, it seems that the losers should reflect on why they can't get more fans.
In addition, in fact, Wiggins has been steadily rising since he came to Golden State, and he is one of the most popular frontcourt players in the West. In last year's All-Star vote, Wiggins ranked seventh in the Western Conference frontcourt with 770,000 fan votes. In addition to James and Jokic, in front of them are Small Card, Davis, George and Williamson, and as a result, these four people this year are either directly unable to play because of injuries, or played too little in the regular season before, these four people are deleted, the votes are diverted, and it is logical that the mouth brother will go to the third position of the fan vote.
In terms of court performance, this year's Wiggins averaged 18.1 points and 4.3 boards per game, and his three-point shooting rate reached a career-high 41.2%. Returning to the topic at the beginning of Lori, finding the right environment is very important for Wiggins. Objectively speaking, Wiggins did not become the big boss of the team or even the second boss of the heart, in the Timberwolves period, he carried the aura of the champion, someone pushed him behind, public opinion also pressed him, Wiggins was not happy and uncomfortable. But after coming to the Warriors, the pressure to win includes Curry, Thompson, Green and Kerr to carry, Wiggins is like a brick, where it needs to be moved. The offensive end does not need the ball to be handed into his hands, Wiggins only needs to grasp the opportunities created by the system for him, to do what he does best, such as Kerr to give him to the inside of the misalignment than jump tactics, including the occasional mid-range singles, the appearance of empty opportunities outside the third line, which is no more and no less just right for Wiggins. Defensively, he also has the ability to keep an eye on the opposing offensive arrows.
Objectively speaking, there is one aspect of the mouth brother who can enter the All-Star is more flattering, that is, the position. Because the core players of the team with better records, such as Doncic, Paul, Booker, and Mitchell, are all backcourt players, and there is no direct competition with the mouth brother. Another thing that can give the mouth brother an advantage over competitors in the same position, such as Towns and Ingram, is definitely the Warriors' record.
To be sure, the only person who might be slightly unconvinced by this result is Green. Because from the performance of the Warriors in the past period of time, we can see that Green is really too important for the Warriors, and everyone knows the importance of Green to the Warriors. That's why Green can be third in the Western Conference frontcourt in the player vote and fourth in the Western Conference frontcourt in the media vote. However, the fan vote was still pulled, ranking sixth, because Green's viewing in the All-Star Game was really not much. Fan voting is Wiggins's big advantage, but the ability to suppress Green proves that The mouth brother is not bad in the eyes of peers and the media. Player voting, in the Western Conference frontcourt, Wiggins's votes are only lower than James, Jokic, Green and Gobert, and the media vote is preceded by a Towns, and the weighted score is 4.25, 0.5 more than Green, dumping fifth-ranked George 1.5 points. So even if Wiggins' fan vote drops again, no one but Green can pose a direct threat to his starting position.
"Perfect loop. There's nothing better than finishing my first All-Star Game in Cleveland! It's a significant event for me and my family, and I hope this selection inspires me to be better. Wiggins said: "Being an All-Star means the whole world to me, and that has always been a goal for me. I worked very hard and was in a good environment, and that gave me the opportunity to be an All-Star that I never took for granted. The next thing is to focus on the championship, we have enough players to compete, that's what we want, that's the main goal. At the end of the day, it's about winning the championship. ”
