NBA champion in 2022 with a crucial role with the Warriors, Andrew Wiggins rode this dynamic at the start of last season. Klay Thompson was not at his best and the winger could shine offensively.
Even if Golden State struggled to get started, over the first 24 matches of last season, the former Wolves averaged 19.1 points with 51% shooting success and 45% from 3-pts. Then everything broke. The fault was already an adductor injury, which broke his rhythm since he no longer had the same efficiency on his return.
Then, from February 14, the player left the group for “personal reasons”. It was later learned that he was at his ailing father’s bedside. He finally returned for the playoffs, which he finished with a fractured rib… A frustrating season, therefore, that he wants to put behind him.
“Last season was complicated, that’s clear”he recognizes for the San Francisco Chronicle. “We always want to improve. I have room to progress, in different aspects of my game. I still have a few years to do it, because I want to spend 16 or 17 seasons in the league. I’m here to influence the younger generation and see how the game develops. »
Among his objectives this season, Andrew Wiggins wants to return to the All-Star Game, like his teammate Klay Thompson, after participating in it in 2022. But also to have his name on one of the two All-Defensive Teams.
“Anyone can do it, but will I do it? “, he declares. “That’s what matters. The days will be long, we will be tired, but this extra motivation, this desire to do something specific, is an important element in overcoming these obstacles. »
