BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Oklahoma City Thunder have been forced into plenty of less-than ideal situations in 2021-22, and while this has mostly resulted in devastating defeats, it has allowed opportunity for players like Aaron Wiggins to make their name on the NBA scene a little sooner than they otherwise would have. The rookie and former Minnesota Golden Gopher has gotten flash chances here and there, but it really started to pick up on December 26th, and since that time Wiggins has emerged for 15.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per contest.
While Wiggins' three-point shooting efficiency has technically declined each month and so far in the limited sample of January he has tallied his worst true shooting percentage of the year, he ended up shooting nine for 25 from three in games since Dec. 26th (36%) and went five for 14 (35.7%) over the last four games (which included an 0-5 game). Aaron Wiggins began playing about 26-38.5 minutes per night out of necessity for OKC, and his well-rounded contributions have more than earned him a prolonged chance to take the floor for the bottom-dwelling Thunder, so given his wide availability, he is a worthwhile addition in deeper formats.
