On March 6, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors lost 116-124 to the Los Angeles Lakers on the road, losing 8 of the last 10 games, falling to the 3rd place in the West. In this game, Wiggins played 32 minutes and 04 seconds, shooting 6 of 15, 2 of 4 from three-point range and 0 of 2 from the free throw line, and only had 14 points, 5 boards and 4 assists.
After The All-Star Weekend, Wiggins' form declined significantly. Wiggins has averaged just 14.2 points per game in the last five games, down from the season average of 17.4 points. More critically, Wiggins' offensive efficiency plummeted, with his overall shooting percentage changing from 48.1 percent to 39.2 percent before the All-Star, his three-point shooting percentage from 41.4 percent to 33.3, and his free-throw shooting percentage from 66.1 percent to 30.8 percent.
In the past five games, Wiggins has won a total of 13 free throw opportunities, only 4 of which have been hit, and the shooting rate is pitifully low. In addition, Wiggins averaged just 2.6 free throws per game, well below his career average of 4.9. On the court, Wiggins did not show any desire to score, and the way he played was also frustrating to many Warriors fans.
Objectively speaking, Wiggins is not worthy of the honor of an All-Star starter. Wiggins was able to enter the All-Star starting lineup thanks to the enthusiasm of Warriors fans. Everyone voted one vote, one vote to cast Wiggins into the All-Star starter. But he averaged just 17.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. On the pitch, Wiggins has rarely been able to play a game that turns the tide.
After playing a full-star game, Wiggins went into a state of pendulum in the Warriors. The team's record is terrible, and Wiggins, as an All-Star starter, can't help Curry too much. Wiggins' poor performance was really disappointing. After playing this season, Wiggins has only one year left on his contract with the Warriors. His salary is $33.33 million. This summer, it's time for the Warriors to consider trading Wiggins.
