Probably, yes. Although he'd be an upgrade in that at least he's becoming a hell of a shot maker and solid passer. I think defense is still a problem for him.

LaVine on a five-year max contract sure as hell beats Wiggins on the same deal. That is for sure.

He could be a great 6th man, instant offense type.

Wiggins doesn't play defense either, who are we kidding. Wiggins is a black hole on both ends. LaVine is actually a solid scorer.

Wiggins is not a good defender, but he does offer more resistance than LaVine. Regardless, the gap between LaVine and Wiggins offensively easily trumps the gap in defense. Therefore, I'd prefer LaVine. None of it matters though. Sigh.

Getting this thread back on topic, Wig got himself a bit of a reprieve with last nights 4th quarter!

Wiggins still needs to show up for the other 3.5 quarters of games, and he does not get a pass for being bad in those minutes, but yes he has shown up late in two of Minnesota's wins.
Imagine him playing like that for the entirety of his minutes...

I posted that tongue in cheek because I've taken some flack for being too anti-Wiggins. Just giving credit where it's earned even if he was lacking much of the game and I still don't believe he'll ever be a consistent plus player.
Oh man, now look what you made me do. I'm bashing Wiggins when I was trying to be nice damn it. LOL
