Why don’t the Warriors call Andrew Wiggins “2-way Wiggins” in every interview anymore? (alien.top)

2 years ago when they forced him to be an All Star, they were spamming the shit out of the “2-way Wigs” nickname. It was the first words out of every player and coach’s mouth.

Why don’t they just scream this propaganda again and make him good?

Wiggins won a chip and got his third contract.

He doesn't care anymore. This is how he looked before he got traded the first time.

You mean back we was averaging 20+ on average-above average efficiency?? This is not that Wiggins.

Well he gets less shots now because he’s not being shoe-horned into being a top offensive option for the team (that honor goes to Klay)

and Wiggins definitely never had above-average efficiency when he was in Minnesota

I ate crow when he was such a valuable piece of that title team. After watching him in minny for years I just didn’t think he could be a valuable contributor to any serious team. He just didn’t do enough things during a game.

So ya, totally agree this is the Wiggins we saw. Floats around, very few effort plays, still a few highlights from his athleticism but ultimately just doesn’t really seem to care enough to really impact winning.
