Why is Wiggins barely shooting 43% when he's athletic and doesn't create his offense?

[PleezeBelieve]

Minnesota plays a wide open offense with no regard for defense. They have plenty of chances for this guy to be better than a 43% shooter since he's playing on the back side of the offense 90% of the time.

Anyone know this guy's iso FG%? Its got to be terrible :oldlol:

[SpecialQue]

I don't know.

[IncarceratedBob]

he's a rookie

[MP.Trey]

He creates a ton of points off his little post up/mid range game. Not a consistent shooter but he's what? 19 years old?

[PleezeBelieve]

he's a rookie
He's 6'8 and doesn't have to handle the ball. Rookie or no rookie, that's pretty bad.

He's just not a good basketball player

Whats his iso FG%??

I see him get more offense from cutting and hustle plays than from anywhere else on the court.

[theoneneo]

Besides Ball handling, and passing(which is a major skill for a guard)

He has a better skill set than Lebron at the same age :lol

Can post
Shoot
Play good D

They're pretty much neck and neck in terms of raw athletic ability

I don't care what his iso FG% is. He's not an iso player. He's an athletic defender who shines in the open court but anyone who's watched more than a handful of Wolves games knows he has the ability to create for himself. He's not a take 6 dribbles and size you up guy. He's a catch, square up and make a quick move guy. The sky is the limit for the kid, just needs to work on passing and being able to create for others.

[robert de niro]

it's so funny how angry and in denial pleezebelieve is, he thinks more about wiggins than his own fans, probably even more than his boy dion :lol

[ImKobe]

43,6%

barely

:facepalm

he's averaging 19 ppg on 45% shooting post asg.

it's his rookie year, he doesn't have the legs to shoot consistently from long range atm IMO. It's the same thing that was with Kobe when he first entered the league. Was a little too skinny and we remember those airballs in Utah that fell short on that fateful day...Kobe then started bulking up a little and his shot improved a ton. I expect the same from Wiggins.

[DonDadda59]

Bron didn't even shoot 42% at the same age. Give it some time maybe? :confusedshrug:

[Trollsmasher]

LeBron put up a 27/7/7/2 season at 47% shooting at Wiggins' age

[Dave3]

Shaky jumper. His jumper was on early in the season (and he was missing layups). Now he's getting more finishing opportunities but his jumper has been pretty bad for a couple months now.

He did create most of his offense though before Rubio came back. With Rubio though he's now getting more cuts to the basket, which is helpful.

No one expected him to put up 21/5/5 on 45/35/80 in his rookie year. He's putting up 16/4/2 on 44/35/74. Given how raw everyone expected him to be, these are pretty satisfactory stats. With players this young and raw though, their improvement will make 100% of their career. Kobe and Tmac started out worse than this and ended up at ridiclous levels during their peaks. At the same time players like Damon Stoudamire and Emeka Okafor had better rookie years but didn't improve much for the rest of their careers. A player's performance in their rookie year means almost nothing when trying to predict their career. He can be the next Kobe or he can be the next Ricky Davis. Watching him you see a lot more of the potential of a great than a scrub, but only time will tell.

[ImKobe]

LeBron put up a 27/7/7/2 season at 47% shooting at Wiggins' age

Lebron had an entire season's worth of NBA experience under his belt before the season even begun..stop it breh.

[stalkerforlife]

Because he's a 19 year old rookie that played one year of college ball?

Stop, dude.

[Trollsmasher]

just correcting that age notion

[ralph_i_el]

He's just not a good basketball player

You're an idiot:facepalm why do you keep doing this to yourself

[SexSymbol]

It's very good for a rookie, rookies rarely shoot close to 50%

[gts]

You're an idiot:facepalm why do you keep doing this to yourself
I think you answered your own question

[Flower_]

He is not 19 anymore, and he is not that good on D and I don't see in him that winning mentality. But he is still young so we will see but another LeBron? Just stop.

[Legends66NBA7]

I don't see in him that winning mentality.

What is the winning mentality ?

[FreezingTsmoove]

seriously your gimmick was hilarious with kyrie but shitting on every #1 pick for years now clearly shows your agenda. not funny anymore

[FireDavidKahn]

He does end up having to create to his own offense quite a lot.....

[RightToCensor]

What does him being athletic reflect on his FG%?

I hope you're not comparing him to LeStiffArm who commits an offensive foul every drive.

[Eric Cartman]

Guess what was Kevin Durant's fg% his rookie year?

Hint: The number is in the thread's title.

[clipps]

Who's more retarded? OP or the idiots actually taking OP's question serious?

[dreamwarrior]

Lebron shot .417 his rookie year

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Guess what was Kevin Durant's fg% his rookie year?

Hint: The number is in the thread's title.

LeBron didn't even manage that, he shot 41.7% in his rookie season. OP is an idiot.

[Eric Cartman]

Who's more retarded? OP or the idiots actually taking OP's question serious?

You for pointing it out to make you seem intellectual.

Do humanity a favor and drop dead.

[PleezeBelieve]

Thank you. These Wiggins stans been GRIPPING on the age excuse all year... until he has a good game (very rare) where he actually impacts the game and not put up empty points in a blowout.

When in actuality, Parker is younger and was the better pkayer before he got hurt. So obviously it can be done. There were in the same role for each of their teams.

Did you not see that Durant/LeBron posted equal and lower shooting percentages in their rookie years, respectively? Give Wiggins in time, it hasn't been nearly long enough to pass judgement.

[PleezeBelieve]

Hint: The number is in the thread's title.
Durant actaully had a track record in college of being an elite shooter. Wiggins does not.

Actually Wiggins' doesnt have a track record of being elite in anything.

Try again.

Wiggins doesn't play the same role as those two. Stop bringing them up.

Why do you Wiggins stans KEEP mentioning this guy in the same breath as LeBron, or wven Durant? Its annoying. He's way more Rudy Gay than the latter.

And you dudes wonder why I keep posting FACTS about the guy. :oldlol:

[TiagoSimoes]

wiggins as a rookie is outplaying waiters so much its not even funny.

btw, whats waiters' FG% for the season?

They're all small forwards, of course they're going to be mentioned in the same breath. Pointing that out doesn't qualify anyone as a 'stan,' it's just comparing FG% for three highly touted rookies in their first years.

We're not going to know what kind of player he is until he actually develops, 3/4 of a season isn't going to define the course of his career.

[eliteballer]

He's a 19 year old rookie who's shooting higher than rookie LeBron did.

[knicksman]

LOL

looks like Pleeze Believe sucks at math too.

Wiggins is having a very good rookie year, and his potential is limitless.

Look at the leaps he has made at mid-season alone.

REAL DEAL

[JtotheIzzo]

Durant actaully had a track record in college of being an elite shooter. Wiggins does not.

Actually Wiggins' doesnt have a track record of being elite in anything.

Try again.

Wiggins has the 'track record' of being the best athlete since LeBron.

We talkin 'track records' now?

F*ck you are dumb.

[JtotheIzzo]

pathetic troll account

A LOT. They only recently (since Rubio got back) started running backdoor baseline plays for Wiggins.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to PleezeBelieve again.

According to PB that is 'barely' 41% :roll:

It's not really surprising that math is one of the many things that eludes his tiny little brain.

[Droid101]

Math is hard.

[plowking]

Shooting better than Bron, Melo and Durant in their rookie season. From the field overall and from 3 point land.

[navy]

What's your thoughts on Dion Waiters and Kyrie Irving OP?

[PleezeBelieve]

37 minutes

4-10

13 points

30 point loss


Rookie of the Year right here :oldlol:

I'd love to hear his thoughts on Anthony Davis and John Wall as well. Dude takes too many Ls to keep track of.
