NBA Draft 2019: Looking at the No.1 overall picks from the last 5 years

Andrew Wiggins (Minnesota Timberwolves): No. 1 pick in 2014

Cleveland Cavaliers drafted Wiggins in 2014 at #1

Andrew Wiggins was drafted No. 1 by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2014 NBA draft and was promptly traded two months later to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a deal for Kevin Love, forming a new big 3 at the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Wiggins was drafted No. 1 in a draft which had now superstar, Joel Embiid, was touted to be one of the best players coming into the draft and was built for the game of the modern NBA, standing in at 6 feet 8 inches with a 6 feet 11 inch wingspan. He is a super athlete and his potential ability to defend multiple positions along with an established, solid offensive game at Kansas had the Timberwolves sold.

Given his athleticism and ability to be an explosive player, Wiggins has not been more than a secondary scorer for the Timberwolves, with most thinking he has failed to reach his potential. He is averaging a really solid 19.4 points, along with 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 400 games in career. His defensive numbers have not been as great, averaging just a steal and 0.6 blocks a game.

While he has been one of the most reliable option on offense for the Timberwolves, more was expected from him as the No. 1 pick and with the raw potential he still has.

Career statistics: 400 games: - 19.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1 steal, 0.6 blocks, shooting 44% from the field, 33.2% from 3 and 73.5% from the FT line
