NBA Hall of Famer Chris Mullin had an interesting take on Andrew Wiggins and the Golden State Warriors.
During a recent appearance on the Runnin' Plays Podcast, Mullin said that the Warriors is the best place for Wiggins because he fits perfectly with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. Furthermore, Mullin said he won't feel pressured now because he'll have veterans guiding him all season long.

He's a quiet, laid-back guy, but he has No. 1 talent physically, athletically. He can go off on any given night and be the best player on the floor.
“He's not really that outspoken and comfortable being the No. 1 guy, so here is the best place. So, it's a great fit for him, and it's also a great fit for the Warriors. They've got the star power in Steph and Klay. They've got the leadership and competitiveness and the heartbeat of the team in Draymond. He's a perfect fit with those guys. “I would give that time. I like that mix is, and I think it puts less pressure on this draft and acquiring whatever you do moving forward.”
Wiggins, who was acquired by the Warriors right before the trade deadline in February, played in 12 games with the Warriors before the season was suspended due to COVID-19 pandemic. In those 12 games, Wiggins played phenomenal, averaging 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 33.6 minutes. Furthermore, the 2014 No. 1 overall draft pick shot an astonishing 45 percent from the field, which was the highest of his career.
