Wrong again. He has his CPL. He will be flying the team plane.


Lol. A good looking NBA player who can also fly a plane. In other words, the guy who will take your wife if he wants.


He just got married a few weeks ago. Don't forget that Layman really like turtles. I can't wait to get the Layman Astudillo Turtle poster.


What a dumbass. Not that NBA players are faithful, but still. So he became a Terp because he likes turtles? I don't like this guy anymore.

Watching that video is a reminder that Wiggins appears to be a really good guy. That fact, combined with his big-time talent, reinforces my deep desire to see Wiggins break through as a T-Wolf and become the all-star caliber player he's always had the potential to be.

I think you make a good point here. Wiggins still has to show he is a good basketball player but I think people that know him seem to like the guy.

I've been spending some more time recently learning more about the Enneagram and it's made me wonder about Wiggins personality and what might make him tick. He is clearly an introvert in a job that to some extent demands him speak in public. I'm not suggesting we should feel sorry for him as he is living a pretty good life but imagine how that might affect his energy and overall life.

Earlier in Wiggins career I thought he thought too much he needed to just go out and play more. Maybe there is some truth to that still. A few of the numbers on the Ennegram (9 total personalities) are interesting to consider when looking at Wiggins. When Wiggins speaks he doesn't sound like the brightest bulb. What if it's because it's him being introverted and personality wise not a person that does well just speaking on the fly? Is it possible he even has some sort of social anxiety? I think Rosas and his staff are going to make every effort to help Wiggins and others reach their potential.

I think most would agree even if they think he has major flaws the biggest one is mental. Could this new supportive environment and maybe a bit of a new start with a coaching staff that is going to give him a ton of knowledge but I think also tell him to just get after it work? Idk few are going to by in until it works for over half a season but Lip I share some glimmer of hope for Wiggins and if not just some basic curiosity about how some of this stuff works out. I don't have to have a championship team I want an organization that actually seems to get the most out of what they have a significant amount of the time. Not everything is gonna work out you have to have some good luck also. I'm hoping we can at least have an organization from top to bottom players and everyone else we can have some pride in and appreciation for not just because they are our team but because they actually deserve it. We sadly haven't had that much here. We can hope but now we got to see it.

Edit: Although it may be difficult to stomach considering the re-re-re-re-builds* we have had to endure here and the way some top young players have forced their way out recently but curiosity may be the way to approach this entire Wolves season. I think there is so much to be curious about that it makes sense AND I think the organization as a whole is going to be doing the same thing. I don't think it's going to be business as usual around the Wolves.

nice guy, but I'd trade his personality for a good player.

I can forgive guys for not being talented, but I can't forgive players for playing half ass. Wiggins 99% of the time plays half ass. Especially after he got paid. Winning and losing isn't that big a deal for him. Nor is him reaching his potential. He's content and happy just being there. The best players are never satisfied, always looking to improve every single day. Guys like Kawhi, who wasn't recruited highly into college, wasn't drafted highly in the NBA, but made himself into probably the best player in the league right now.

I want to have hope for Wiggins, maybe the new regime can work with him. But I highly doubt it to be honest. I think he'll be a backup after he leaves here.

At the risk of incurring Cool's wrath, I agree 100% with that video! I would love to be proven wrong, but I won't be.
