During his third season with the Warriors, the former No. 1 overall pick is averaging 18.1 points on 48.1% shooting from the field with 4.2 boards and two assists per game.

Along with providing consistent offense, Wiggins has been a key piece on Golden State’s defense that ranks at the top of the league in defensive rating (102.4).
