Andrew Wiggins enters this season facing the same question that he usually does: is this the year he puts it all together? While we can’t answer that yet, and are leaning towards saying no, he has something going for him that is worth mentioning.
Wiggins has put on some muscle entering the season.

Wiggins acknowledged to reporters that the photos of him looking more cut are the result of him bulking up.
Andrew Wiggins: "I put on a couple pounds of muscle. … I definitely feel stronger. I feel fast, stronger. Coming into the season, I feel the best I've ever felt, ever."

Those are all great signs for the Warriors.
Wiggins, 25, was the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. While he has not been a bust, he also has not been the type of game-changer teams expect to get from a top overall pick.
Wiggins averaged 19.4 points per game in his 12 contests with the Warriors after being acquired in a trade with the Timberwolves. He will continue to see a large role especially with Klay Thompson out for the season. And Draymond Green has a big goal in mind for Wiggins.
