All things considered, the Warriors are off to a really solid start over the first two weeks of the NBA season. Entering Nov. 6, Golden State has the fourth-best record in the league and a top-10 offense. Chris Paul has integrated himself nicely, the bench units are playing well without Stephen Curry and young players such as Moses Moody and Trayce Jackson-Davis have had some nice moments.
So with the preface that I am not at all worried about this team—and perhaps even bullish on their prospects—I am, however, keeping my eye on what’s up with Andrew Wiggins.
Ever since putting together perhaps the finest stretch of his career during the team’s 2022 title run, things have been a little up and down for Wiggins. He played only 37 games last year (largely due to a personal matter) and never quite seemed to fully recapture his form. Through the first seven games of this season, Wiggins is averaging what would be career lows in points, rebounds, assists, three-point percentage, free throw percentage and minutes—you know, a lot of the things that make up a basketball player.
