He's just missing, sometimes by a lot. He's always been streaky, but the good streaks are few and far between over the last couple weeks. Let's just hope he can snap out of it sooner than later, we need him to be better. Most of his misses appear to be long, which tells me he's gotten stronger and hasn't practiced enough to re-groove his shot. The second element is that now it appears to be in his head. When the confidence goes it can be very difficult to get back. You can blame it all on the player if you wish, but one thing I can say factually is that wig has never played in a modern offense. Not under Flip and not under Thibs. I don't know if would make a difference or not but I'd sure like to find out. And yes, this talent laden team is an abomination to watch. I even feel dirty after wins.
Yeah too bad that amazing game by Butler was squandered on poor play by his teammates. The Barking Ogre needs to play another bench wing whilst Belly is out or Cole.
I really think Wiggins can be more effective if he sticks to open 3s or cutting to the basket. Let Jimmy do the Kobe stuff. Hes better at it. Be our Danny Green.
The bench wings we have aren't an option, evident by how unwilling Thibs is to use them. If Muhammad wasn't an absolute train wreck, he would play 20-25 MPG. The problem is that he sucks.
It's about time to finagle a trade of Gorgui Dieng for Kent Bazemore or DeMarre Carroll. That would force us to rely on Cole Aldrich, or perhaps Justin Patton, but we desperately need another wing.

I agree that G is the trade piece. We need another wing.

Lol. Thanks a lot, Jerry! I'm now afraid to go to sleep because of the nightmares I'm going to have about the return of smiling Wes.
You are welcome my friend. And as much as I like Dieng, he's gotta be the trade. Reasonable contract, and with our new cripple Belly, Bazz falling apart, maybe happy Wes isn't a bad idea. He can't be shooting any worse than Wiggy.
This seems like a good time to remind people that Bazz actually has a player option for next year for just under 1.8 million. At this point sadly he might actually consider opting in if he wants to stay in the NBA even if he may never play for this team.
