Andrew Wiggins
Center
7'0" 255
20 years old
Strengths: He's very long and athletic. Almost unnatural how athletic he is for his size. He is an incredible presence down in the paint. Excellent timing on shot-blocking coupled with his all-world athleticism is the recipe for a elite shot-blocker. Already an improved rebounder, he'll be a double-double guy for sure. He possesses solid post moves and has show he can create his own shot around the rim, whether it be a hook shot or drop step into a power dunk.
Weaknesses: Though his jump shot has been improving, it still isn't very consistent. He may struggle a bit from the free throw line, which could be problematic since he'll probably be visiting it very often. He has good hands for a big man, but he struggles with passing out of the double team. If he could learn to be smarter with the ball in pressure situations, he'll definitely be the guy to run the offense through.
Outlook: The sky is the limit for Wiggins. He's refined enough to put up solid work immediately when drafted, but he's also ripe with potential, and has all the tools to become a superstar. However, he has yet to show that fire that drives players to greatness. A few people close to Wiggins are worried that all the hype at a young age went to his head leading him to slack off a bit. Some say he lacks that killer instinct.
