He's not going to get minutes this year and he's light years from a monster. I root for him as well.
Not to jinx anything but...

- Start date
Oh I realize, I just think the potential is there.
Excellent. I hope he shoots 16 FTs every game. Teams have been bumping him without consequence.
But to Thompson's comment, SOS isn't as important to per game scoring averages as shot and FT attempts.
I fouled out and I was watching from home.
Figures, though. Refs always liked calling fouls on me.
As long as it came with a 1.46 FTr.
Wigginton's issues have been efficiently getting his points. Few things would accomplish the needed improvement in efficiency as averaging a 1.46 FTr and making 81% of them. Although his 129 offensive rating was one of the lower marks on the team, it's still an outstanding game, and particularly impactful given his 44% usage.
Lol that was pretty much the exact response I was expecting. Love that 92 defensive rating off the bench though which was better than all but two of the starters
I would hope so, as his struggle with becoming more efficient isn't exactly a tough thing to see. But I'm happy that you're able to see through the per game volume-based numbers.
His defense was solid, although the DRtg is probably one of the more flawed metrics. For example, Conditt and even Lard are not our best defenders, although they more likely to accumulate individual stops.
He's been much more efficient on both ends of the court this year than last year. I'm guessing besides his 3pt % his offensive numbers are up across the board from last season. The kid is a flat out stud
Only if they are each an 'and one' after a made three pointer.
Prior to the last couple games many of his efficiency based numbers were flat- missing a lot of shots is a significant part of efficiency.
I agree that his non-shooting game was improved (outside of some horrific effort on defense that put Prohm in a bad spot), which is why I made the remark about FTr. Trading some of those bad 2s for FT attempts is great to see. I'm sure the last two games, and three of the last four, is a surprise to some that thought he needed to start to "get in the groove", but to others, it's not. It was expected he'd improve as he learned to how to be more than an inefficient volume guy on a team that has many options. He's way too talented to be shooting a sub 50% on effective FG%. That improvement happening doesn't refute any statements saying he needed to improve, but it does help Prohm's recruiting.
Now, about THT...

He's attacking but also being more selective about when to attack.
Earlier it would mean a pile of players in the lane.
Add in that NWB, TH, and Talley aren't exactly bad at getting a defense to respond and MJ and Lard are both versatile and it's hype-city.
Any time Deandre Kane took a shot that wasn’t a 3 or a free throw, he’d be on the ground, it felt like. He was a wrecking ball with his body when driving the lane.
When asked about Marcus Smart's flopping Kane said that it didn't bother him because he wasn't above a little flop now and then to get a call. He then proceeded to own Smart in the fabled double flop.
Nothing personal.....but please change your avatar. It makes me throw up in my mouth a lot.
