@Crimsonorblue22 Wiggs on fire in the first half! That spin move dunk was sweet! I still wish the Bulls had won!

@Crimsonorblue22 Nice!! I didnt see the game but was keeping track of the box score. Wiggs is becoming unguardable. I think he has been studying Kobe's game. Most definitely he has been working on his ball handling skills! Going right, then to his left with a spin move, something he couldnt pull off as easily at KU. He looks amazing. If he doesnt make a push for the all star roster this season, it will be next season for sure.

That dunk over Pau was sweet! Those couple drive and kicks for assists were sweet. That 3 in Joakims face was sweet. He is becoming a sweet player!

he's got all-star written all over him

Man, watching these highlights is awesome and tough at the same time. I wish Wiggs had learned how to shoot while he was a KU. He would have been almost impossible to guard at the college level if he had the shot he has now. That said, hopefully he becomes the All Star we all know he can be and younger players who idolize him and his game will want to follow in his footsteps as a Jayhawk.

@joeloveshawks

I don't know if you had seen his other games so far but he was shooting 29% from the field until that Bulls game. Adjusting to his teammates, switching to SG & dealing with a back injury didn't help. He's far from polished shooting or dribbling but he sure is fun to watch when he's on.

@BeddieKU23 I hadnt seen any of his games this season yet. I didnt even know he was dealing with a back injury! I hope he is ok now.

Nov 08, 2015 05:14 PM #8

He also had a great defensive game, no surprise!

@BeddieKU23 I certainly have not. Honestly I don't watch much NBA if any until the playoffs. 29% sounds about right!

@joeloveshawks

I don't watch the NBA either, unless I get a chance to see fellow hawks on tv. But I do look at the box scores of Wiggins games and read the recap's. There was already articles saying he was slumping and struggling.

The Bulls game should put that too rest & hopefully his back injury has worked itself out, he sure didn't look to be bothered when scorching Chicago.

I'm not sure Wigs will be able to avg as many points this year without being more efficient statistically. His team is healthy & Towns has played great so far so there is less emphasize on Andrew scoring on every play. His skill level is undeniable & I love seeing how he is doing.

@Lulufulu

As far as I know it's not a serious injury & he's been playing regardless. Maybe just some tightness, slight strain who knows. He will be fine.

@BeddieKU23 he won't have to carry them this year. Young fun team to watch!

@Crimsonorblue22

Amazing how many tools Wigs added to his tool box just since last season. He is on his way... big time! Great to see such a stud coming up in the league that doesn't have a "Made by Calipari" label.

@Crimsonorblue22

Defense is what has kept most of the KU payers in the NBA.

Nov 09, 2015 05:12 AM #15

@drgnslayr I always knew he would be!

Nov 09, 2015 12:39 PM #16

@drgnslayr Honestly, I can't think of one single player that "Made by Calipari" would apply to.

Now if you changed it to " MARKETED by Calipari ".....

@nuleafjhawk Promoted. Used by. Hyped. Propagandized. Popularized. Endorsed.

All could be used as well.

Nov 09, 2015 07:50 PM #18

@nuleafjhawk

Or how about just dropping the word "by"... How about "Made Calipari"... meaning... the player made Cal a big shot not the other way around.

Nov 10, 2015 03:50 AM #19

Wiggs had 33 pts tonight!

Nov 10, 2015 03:52 AM #20

I remember when Wigs picked KU. I was shocked. I didn't even know he was interested KU. Rumor has it he still wears KU gear.

Nov 10, 2015 03:58 AM #21

@DoubleDD so happy he's not w/the cav's! Wolves are a fun young team.

Nov 10, 2015 04:06 AM #22

@Crimsonorblue22

I agree but I can never forgive how the Cav's treated Wiggs. Never.

Nov 10, 2015 04:09 AM #23

@DoubleDD I agree!
