There has been a lot of hype surrounding Andrew Wiggins for some time.

Although many were very critical of Andrew Wiggins’ lone season with the Kansas Jayhawks, he was a very good college player and the Cleveland Cavaliers made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. His tenure with the Cavaliers didn’t last long – he was dealt o the Timberwolves as part of a packaged that netted the Cavaliers star power forward Kevin Love.

On Wednesday night, the Timberwolves were in Memphis to take on the Girzzlies in Andrew Wiggins’ NBA regular season debut. He was rather quiet, scoring just six points and grabbed three rebounds in only 19 minutes. He did take – and make – his long 3-point attempt for his first career NBA basket. The Timberwolves, however, had no answered for the Grizzlies’ bigs. Marc Gasol scored 32 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Zach Randolph put up 25 points and 13 rebounds in a 105-101 Grizzlies’ victory.
