Andrew Wiggins continues to trend downwards. The 1st overall pick of the 2014 NBA draft, Wiggins was averaging over 23 Points a game before Minnesota acquired Jimmy Butler last season and his play has dipped ever since.

Even with Butler being injured for chunks last season, Wiggins struggled to pick up his play. He's averaging 16.7 Points this season and you'd think that's because of Butler, but since Jimmy was traded away, Wiggins is averaging just 16.4 a game, so it's hardly made a difference.

His shooting has also plummeted and he's barely hitting 40% of his shots. It's not like he's doing much elsewhere either, as the other facets of his game haven't developed a bit since he came into the league. At this point, it looks like Wiggins is going to just another decent player in the NBA, who can score a bit but that's about it. It's certainly not what Minnesota is paying him $147million for.
