Terrence Ross is also in the bottom 5% of wings in terms of ball-handling. There's a misconception that all you need is athleticism to be unstoppable at the rim. That's not true. You need to have the ball on a string. Otherwise, your best case scenario is someone like Corey Brewer or Gerald Green. Until Wiggins can handle the ball above a high school level, he'll never be unstoppable going to the rim and will have to settle for step-back jumpers or continually posting up (not that I mind this). Oh I agree with that most definitely. In regards to you being good with that for Wiggins, this means you're okay with him being a glorified 2013 DeMar DeRozan? Well, for one Wiggins is not going to have physical limitations (lateral movement) in terms of perimeter defense so I fully expect him to become at least a good defender, but really feel he'll become a lockdown one. On offense, if he continues to post up, he's going to be VERY successful. They've gone away from it a bit this year probably in an attempt to space the floor more (with shitty shooters). Now, if he's going to make a living shooting step backs, I'd rather trade him for a solid package involving Nerlens Noel and a pick (or two). As for ball-handling, Derozan is a rare exception of a guy making it to the NBA and developing a solid handle. And even then, it took him over 5 seasons to do so. I don't forsee such a development for Wiggins most likely. |

DeRozan did not work on his ball handling intensely until summers 4 and 5. |

LaVine won Rookie Game MVP. Didn't watch it TBH. If anyone did how did the Wolves trio look?
Excited for the dunk contest tonight.
LAVINE!!!

Dunk contest stole the show.
Certainly one of the best dunk contests of all-time.

What a great dunk contest, Gordon should of won it though IMO but Zach did some great stuff too. Enjoyed the 3pt shootout too, nice to see Klay get it this time.

Both Gordon and LaVine did some incredible dunks. I'd really like to see a rematch next year.
Sounds like LaVine has a dunk where he goes between both legs while in the air. I haven't seen it (obviously) but it sounds to me like a double East Bay Funk.
