It's limited video, but that ball handling looks much tighter. And if he's actually improved in that area even a little bit, then he's going to get wherever he wants, whenever he wants. Add a few more pounds... I can't wait.

If he can get the ball handling and footwork right (or right enough) with his long strides and steps nobody is gonna be able to stay with that. I suppose he needs to be able to hit the jumpers too but yeah. Lol

That's a sweet video. The biggest take away from that has to be his new and improved hair style.

The biggest take away I got from the video is that Flip must have taught that guy how to play defense.

If Wiggins becomes a good ball handler this quickly then Ryan Saunders is officially a wizard with that aspect of coaching. First Wall and Beal and now Wiggins. If only we had a defensive coach who could turn guys around on that end as quick as Saunders helps guys with their ball handling skills.

Where did Ryan Saunders come into play on Wiggins handle?

Wall was had a great handle in college, and i guess I never thought Beal really excelled in that skillset.

I think those articles is giving Saunders credit where credit might not be fully due. Next we will hr how he helped Rubio's shot.

I don't know, bleed...it doesn't look to me that the article is giving Ryan credit, but the players themselves. Wiggins is quoted as saying how much the drills are helping him, and while Wall isn't quoted directly, the article does say he sought Ryan out before games to work on this drill...sounds like an endorsement to me. One could argue that a young player may feel he has to say nice things about his coach, especially when it's the head coach's son, but it sounds sincere to me.
