Andrew Wiggins is a new man since moving to Oakland Bay. The winger has recovered and is now an important player for the Warriors. The conquest of his first title has also whetted his appetite since the Canadian wishes to become a legend of the Dub Nation. Just that !
As he gradually transformed into bust in Minnesota, everyone predicted an inglorious future for Andrew Wiggins. Fortunately for him, his arrival on the side of the Bay Bridge of San Francisco has completely revived the number one of the 2014 Draft. Since his trade with the Warriors, Wiggins played 183 games, including the Playoffs, for very nice averages of 17.9 pawns, 5.6 rebounds and 2.5 offerings. It’s very clean, it’s very efficient and it makes the bugger a major asset for Golden State on both sides of the field. This revival has also been successful for him personally, especially last season when he participated in the All-Star Game for the first time and won a very pretty ring. And the beautiful story does not stop there, since the former Wolves has just signed a small autograph on a contract of 109 million potatoes over 4 years. Sacred virtuous circle therefore and enough to whet the appetite of little Andrew. The 27-year-old player confided in his high ambitions to Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic :
“I want to be a legend here. This place gives me peace. I can be myself. You know some people say “We are one big family”. But here they don’t really say it. Here they just show it. You see what I mean ? Families love being here, because everyone is treated very well. And these guys, everyone wants to win, we’re all on the same page up and down. We all want to see ourselves succeed. It gives me peace. »
The dalai-lama Canadian expressed himself thus and, visibly, he found the organization of his dreams. It must be said that he is rather well surrounded and the winger does not imagine his future far from Stephen Curry and the other zinzins of Golden State. Andrew Wiggins even goes a little strong there saying that he wants to be a legend of the franchise. Be careful not to put the ring before the oxen because to see the number 22 one day go up to the ceiling of the Chase Center, the guy will still have to whip for a long time. Yes, the player is very appreciated by the Dub Nation and he was a major element of the epic 2022, it is undeniable. The sentimental side is also on Andrew’s side, as is loyalty because, given his statements, one can imagine that the guy wants to make old bones in Oakland. But the word legend is still very far to qualify him in the Warriors pantheon. We are still talking about a team that has counted in its ranks Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry, Paul Arizin, Nate Thurmond or even Chris Mullin, players who can be described as Warriors legends just like Stephen Curry, Clay Thompson and Draymond Green. If Andrew Wiggins wants to join these names, he will have to wait and above all do even better than his last performances. The gain of additional titles also seems necessary so that, in two decades, Wiggins will be remembered as a Golden State legend and not as a solid lieutenant of the 2020s. Be careful, in the NBA, everything is going very quickly in one direction as in the other and the main interested party is well placed to know it.
Andrew Wiggins has never felt so comfortable in a franchise and he wants to become a Warriors legend. Far be it from us to be skeptical, but there is still a very long way to go before we get there. Go to work Andrew!
