Wiggins is crucial to the Warriors’ future plans, signing a team-friendly contract extension last summer. The team greatly felt his absence over the winter as he dealt with a personal situation. He averaged 17.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists last season and is ready to take another step next season.
Who’s The Secondary Option In Golden State?
Everyone knows that Stephen Curry is the one person the entire team gravitates around. But with Jordan Poole gone, who was the team’s second-leading scorer last season, who will fill that gap?
Klay Thompson is in a contract year and will want to prove to the team he can still be the No. 2 offensive option on the squad. Wiggins is younger and more athletic, so he may be better suited to take the brunt of the responsibilities.
Thompson’s versatility and off-ball movement make him the ideal secondary option whereas Wiggins has previously struggled in Minnesota where he was trying to be the primary option, a role he clearly wasn’t suited for.
