The Timberwolves are indeed willing to throw money this season, probably to keep Towns' heart, to get a super top-paid center like Gobert, as well as a talented backcourt combination like Russell and Edwards, but the Timberwolves still can't be the favorite to win this season, at least in today's game, the Timberwolves with the Big 4 face last season's championship Warriors, really beaten to the end, Wiggins who left the Timberwolves is also completely transformed, the current mouth brother, who else said he played without sweating.
Defensive Wiggins can play with you, which is why Wiggins is trusted by Kerr in this year's Finals, on the offensive end Wiggins in addition to his offensive talent, actually has a calm three-point output, looks like playing next to the Splash Brothers, Wiggins' three-point genes have also been developed and sublimated, and now the Warriors have once again come to a new era of the Tsunami Brothers, Wiggins perfectly replaces Durant?
Today's Warriors away win over the Timberwolves 23 points, the new era tsunami three brothers, three-point shooting crazy, Curry shot 4 three-pointers, Tang Shen shot 5 three-pointers, Wiggins shot 3 three-pointers, 3 people combined 12 three-pointers, a single game 12 three-point ah, Curry who is 4 of 11 three-pointers is not the best shooting state, the Timberwolves lost unjustly, even if they got Gobert, but in the face of a three-point shot like the Warriors, Gobert can only pick up the ball under the basket and kick off.
Of course, can Wiggins replace Durant's place with the Warriors? In terms of personal influence, Wiggins still lacks many awards, because Durant was a superstar in the league when he joined the Warriors, and Wiggins was ridiculed about professional ethics before leaving the Timberwolves, but Wiggins after the Warriors have experienced the edification, and Curry, Towns' new tsunami brotherhood combination is worth looking forward to, this season they are absolutely crazy, averaging more than the league's 15 teams in three-pointers per game.
According to statistics, this season, Curry averaged 5.2 three-pointers per game ranked first in the league, Tangshen averaged 3.9 three-pointers per game ranked third in the league, and even Wiggins averaged 2.9 three-pointers per game. In addition, the Tsunami Brothers' three-point shooting percentage per game is not low, Curry 44.1%, Tang 3.9%, Wiggins 44.1% more than Tang Shen.
Curry, Towns, and Wiggins averaged more three-point shots per game than the Spurs, Trail Blazers, Heat, Thunder, Pelicans and other 15 teams that also include big teams such as the Lakers and Clippers.
The current Warriors continue to show their most brilliant five-hour three-point performance, indeed shooting crazy, you can't imagine that Wiggins can also become such a good three-point shooter, shooting percentage and even a level with Curry, such Wiggins does perfectly replace Durant, because Durant plays in the Warriors, maybe the Warriors are very strong, but the Warriors also have many unstable factors, such as Curry is not considered a core superstar, Tang God may be marginalized, chasing dreams of Durant, etc., It is because Durant's name and influence are too great that the Warriors have a lot of locker room problems behind the brilliance, but Wiggins does not need to think about these, and now Wiggins is a very good Warriors junior, working hard, not fighting for credit, just playing seriously.
Perhaps Wiggins' career achievements and strength are indeed not as strong as Durant, but for the current Warriors, there is really no one more suitable than Wiggins to replace the position of Durant, the same as the chosen son to enter the league, the same all-round competitive level, the Warriors with Russell in exchange for Wiggins is indeed a very successful deal, and look at the Timberwolves, smashed so much money, it is not the same as losing the Warriors by 23 points today.
