On March 26, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Warriors lost 11-121 to the Hawks on the road and lost consecutive wins, since Curry's absence due to injury, the Warriors have only achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, continuing to slump performance. In the whole game, only three people on the Warriors side scored in double figures, namely Thompson, who hit nine three-pointers to score 37 points, And recently the outstanding Poole scored 24 points and 10 assists, and Payton Jr. on the bench efficiently contributed 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting.
I believe you have also seen that there is no new All-Star forward Wiggins in the above list, because his performance is too hot. The whole game only played 22 minutes, shot 4 of 9, including 1 of 4 three points, contributed 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and only -14 on the field, and in the key moment of chasing points in the final quarter, head coach Kerr even hid Wiggins.
Wiggins's talent has always been talked about by the outside world, but when he really got to the court, he always showed no desire, so he had the title of "health mamba". Wiggins has played in 66 games for the Warriors this season, averaging 17.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.7 blocks, shooting 46.5%, shooting 39.5% from three-point range and shooting 63.5% from the free throws.
In the first 44 games, Wiggins averaged 18.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2 assists per game, shooting 49.1% from the field and 42.3% from three-point range, while the Warriors also finished second in the West with 32 wins and 12 losses, because Wiggins was effective and bright, coupled with the popularity of the Warriors, Wiggins was unexpectedly selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, and was still the starting forward; after the All-Star weekend, Wiggins played in 12 games. The average data per game is only 14.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists, the shooting rate is only 39.5%, the three-point shooting rate is only 31.3%, and even the free throw shooting rate has dropped to 50%, in a word, the performance of the offensive end is unbearable, no wonder netizens have complained that Wiggins is a bit muddy and can't support the wall.
Wiggins' career as the 2014 pick has been controversial, including his draft night traded by the Cavaliers, and then abandoned by the Timberwolves, even if he was traded to the Warriors, rumors about his trade have always existed, but because of the long absence of Curry and Thompson in the past two years, coupled with The efficiency Wiggins showed on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, the Warriors briefly gave up the idea of trading Wiggins. With Thompson's return this season, the Warriors have also returned to the championship race, but in the current situation, if Wiggins does not play its value, this Warriors want to win the championship is simply a fool's dream.
Being an All-Star is an encouragement, but the championship is the real opportunity to prove value, Wiggins must seize such an opportunity, if the Warriors fail to rush the championship this season, the Warriors facing a luxury tax, will also face the problem of Poole's contract extension in the offseason, I really can't guarantee that Wiggins will stay in the Warriors, after all, there are not many opportunities left for Curry and the Warriors.
