NBA 2019-20: 8 most improved players so far

#4 Andrew Wiggins

Andrew Wiggins

While entering the 2019-20 NBA season, no one had confidence in Wiggins. Even ESPN didn't mention Wiggins on their list of Top 100 players in the league. Wiggins was shocked to know this, but still had confidence in himself. In an interview with ESPN's Eric Woodyard, Wiggins stated:

There's not 100 players better than me, so it doesn't matter what people think. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. My job is to come out here and hoop, and that's what I'm going to do.

He entered the 2019-20 NBA season with very low expectations from the fans and the Timberwolves management, but surprised everyone with his game.

He had finished the 2018-19 NBA season with 18.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg, and 2.5 apg while shooting a disappointing 41% from the field.

This season, he is really proving his claim as an All-Star material, averaging 24.9 ppg, 5.4 rpg, and 3.4 apg. No one saw it coming and suddenly the Minnesota Timberwolves are a potential playoff team this season.

Wiggins now relies more on driving to the basket and 3-pointers as opposed to the deep 2-pointers he used so often in the last season and the change seems to have worked out really well for him.
