Everybody knows about Steph. And Klay. And Draymond. But it’s been Andrew Wiggins who has lifted the Warriors to new heights this postseason.
Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins dunks on Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Dončić during the 4th quarter of Game 3 of the 2022 NBA Western Conference Finals at American Airlines Center in Dallas. .
He’s been a tireless defender against Dončić, bothering the Mavericks superstar just enough to keep him from dominating the game. He’s been a solid outside shot throughout the playoffs, knocking down some huge three-pointers to keep Golden State afloat in rough waters. He’s rebounded fiercely. And he’s done it all in his smooth, unassuming way — a soft-spoken man with a very loud game at times.
“To make the Wiggins trade is the key to all of this,” Kerr told me. “I’ve said it many times, publicly, but we lost so many wing defenders after the 2019 season. Andre , Shaun Livingston, Kevin , Klay with the injury. Our whole wing core was wiped out defensively. And so the Wiggins allowed us to start to rebuild that wing defense.”
“Wigs has just been so good,” said Kerr. “He’s gotten so much better over the last couple of years. He’s a perfect fit next to our guys. I don’t know where we’d be without him defensively with his work on Luka, and every other top wing that we have to face. He’s just been been brilliant. So I think that move was kind of a key move that Bob in the front office made to get us back to having a playoff-ready roster.”“He’s playing well.
