Hype or Bust: Week 7 edition

Andrew Wiggins (Minnesota Timberwolves):

Wiggins is slowly getting back into form

Andrew Wiggins had an amazing season last year, averaging almost 24 points per game. With Jimmy Butler and Jeff Teague joining the Timberwolves, they were expected to reach new heights, Wiggins along with them. They were going to be a force to reckon with. But what is baffling is their high level of inconsistency and the lack of form that Wiggins has been showing.

Wiggins has been averaging 19 points and 4 rebounds per game this season, a down from his last season statistics. This has more to do with his lack of usage rate this season than his form. He is fourth in the order for the Timberwolves since Butler and Teague have joined. His assists have remained around the same for 2 assists a game.

With moves like these, an upward trajectory in form for the Timberwolves and Wiggins looks imminent, but as of this week, he has been heavily inconsistent, averaging 19 points and 4 rebounds per game. I have to classify him as a bust for week 7 but look for his slump to end soon.

BUST: 4/10
