Most disappointing rookies and sophomores

[TAFKASP]

Only one Wolf on the list, and it's not remotely surprising to me.

Slumping sophomores
No defense: Andrew Wiggins
After winning Rookie of the Year, Andrew Wiggins is already regarded as a star by fans and some NBA personnel, despite some early concerns in the analytics community. Count us among the few holdouts not yet ready to elevate Wiggins to the NBA pantheon.
For starters, many of his key stats have actually dropped from his rookie campaign.
Wiggins is shooting only 43.7 percent from the floor this season and has clicked on just 24.7 percent of shots from 3-point range (down from 31.0 percent a year ago).
Rebounds? Also down. Assists? Down. Blocks? Down. True shooting percentage? You get the idea.
In fact, the Wolves have actually played better this season -- with a better net efficiency -- without Wiggins on the court. And his RPM impact, currently -4.32, ranks a mere 84th among 88 NBA 2-guards.
What's worse, his defense was supposed to be a strong suit, but for the second straight year, it has been a weakness. In defensive RPM, he's actually next-to-last in the league among shooting guards, at -3.76.
Because he's just 20 years old, Wiggins still has plenty of time to figure it out. But if a player's greatness hinges on his ability to make his team more effective on the court, Wiggins has yet to arrive.

Interesting Wiggins made the list. I think Flip the GM did a pretty good job with the team. It think Flip the teacher and coach was not the answer long-term and Sam is proving he is not either. I hope the new part owner gets a say in things moving forward and changes are made in the off-season. The downside to not changing anything until the offseason is you can't have a coach get a grip on what he had to work with and provide the kids with direction on what we need them to improve in the off-season. I kind of makes for another lost year for this team.
