Scouting report
Wiggins is one of the most outstanding players in Europe at the moment. He is super athletic, with stellar footwork, excellent touch 18 feet in, and a mid-post/back to basket game that rivals some NBA vets. Hard jab-step pull-ups, rocker-steps, side-steps, turnarounds, Dirk fallaways, quick spins, you name it, Antwaine Wiggins likely has it in his arsenal. The 6’8 combo forward was an absolute difference maker for Lavrio in Greek Basket League (17-18), as he managed to change the game of his team in both ends of the floor. His phenomenal athleticism combined with top speed and quickness for a player of his height, transformed Lavrio into a hard-to-guard uptempo team. Defensively his length and size were Lavrio’s biggest weapon , as he was able to guard 1-5 positions of the opponent team and offered great options in changing the pace of the game. Moreover, his over-the-rim game secured Lavrio in many occasions and offered numberous possessions in every game. This is where Wiggins’ immediate value lies. While his game is improving every season, there’s a lot of value in Wiggins’ one-on-one prowess inside the arc, especially if his team is able to invert the offense and surround him with shooters. He has always been the most willing passer & he has some serious ISO game. Great post-up arsenal,he has more than adequate vision, and could become an asset in that area.
It is worth to mention that his game is super efficient (60.4 % 2pts 2017-18) . The fact that Wiggins has the frame and reach to play the four (where he played several times in Greece ) makes him a very flexible choice to his coach’s hands. From there, Wiggins has the fluidity to attack closeouts in space, as he is pretty explosive.
On the other side of the ball, Wiggins’ defensive intensity and progression physically will not go a long way in determining how many minutes he will play , as he is so special that makes him a must-choice for his coaches. Literally, his team this 2017-18 season was completely different when he was on the floor, more aggressive,physical,tough and quick. Great wing defender as well. Can switch screens and stay with his man easy.
Wiggins is one of the most polished forwards in Europe and likely has a highest floor, as there’s infinite value in a 6’8 combo forward with a great frame, solid length, an advanced isolation package, and a developing outside game.
