Wiggins is obviously the centerpiece to the Timberwolves and proves just how luck the Cavaliers were to land Love. Not only did LeBron James return to the Cavaliers but before that happened, the Cavaliers landed the number one overall pick in the NBA’s Draft Lottery despite having just the ninth-best odds to do so. That allowed them to select the former Kansas Jayhawks’ star, setting up this deal.
Of course, when the Cavaliers landed Wiggins, many fans probably believed he may be the future of their franchise and immediately went out and bought Wiggins jerseys. If you are one of those fans, there is some good news. You can actually get a full refund for your Wiggins jersey.
Wiggins averaged 17.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks per game for the Jayhawks last season while shooting 44.8% from the field, 34.1% from beyond the arc and 77.5% from the free throw line for the Jayhawks last season.
