Becoming an All-Star, Wiggins proved his potential to the NBA, and it is now his job to deliver on his accolade. Curry was right to deduce the need for Wiggins to be aggressive. He scored just 12 points against his former team in the Warriors’ loss. Without Klay in the squad, Wiggins needs to become a much more aggressive partner to Steph.
Before the break, Wiggins was putting up nearly 18 points per game. However, in the last 10 games, his average has dropped to just 13.8 points per game. As the second-leading scorer on the Warrior, his production needs to be much higher.

With Wiggins now being a key piece for the Bay, he needs to figure out how he can put his skills to the best use. At the beginning of the season, Wiggins was a lot more aggressive. He will have to find that side of him again and help his team finish the regular season on a high.
