Andrew Wiggins has been overly dissected over the past year, as the No.1 prospect, then the No.1 pick, then the No.1 trade bait, then the No.1 player this year to get compared to James Posey. But he's been on an absolute tear over the last two and a half months, and continues to show why the Wolves believe he's the cornerstone of their franchise. It's not just his offensive ability anchored by unbelievable athleticism, it's his defense, which is instinctive, sound, and extremely effective.
James Harden got Ricky Rubio but good on Monday night, but Wiggins had his turn on Harden and stuck him for this fadeaway airball, then raced out and finished on the other end.
How do you defend James Harden?
That's how:
Wiggins finished with 30 points on his 20th birthday in the loss to the Rockets.
