count me a skeptical.   I have seen him play pretty good,  but I am just getting the feeling that this is going to be another mauer type deal.

Hope not...Am hoping with Butler on the team, Wiggins is that much more effective.

He's a nice scorer, but I saw on ESPN when they were focusing on the Timberwolves after the Butler trade that opponents "guarded" by Wiggins shot 56% from the field.  Basically he plays the same defense as air.

He seems to lack intensity or something.  I don't see making him a mega millionaire helping him find more focus or desire.  I don't know what the meet with Taylor was about,  but I don't know what could have been said to make me write that check.

Not so sure I wouldnt have kept Lavine and Dunn and sent Wiggins to Chicago for Butler.
