Andrew Wiggins of the Minnesota Timberwolves may have had some drama with Jimmy Butler in the past, but this doesn't remove the fact that he learned a thing or two from his former teammate.
Per Michael Rand of the Star Tribune, Andrew Wiggins admitted that he had a good relationship with Jimmy Butler and learned a lot from him, especially his approach to the game.
“We had a good relationship. He was older, and he tried to teach me a lot on both sides of the floor,” Wiggins said. “I learned a lot from his approach to the game and brought intensity to every game.”
Wiggins might be sprinkling words of praise for Butler right now. But for those familiar with their story, it wasn't like this earlier in the season. In fact, rumors point to Wiggins as of the reasons why Butler wanted a trade.
According to various sources, Butler and Wiggins weren't really seeing eye to eye which led to chemistry issues and locker room problems. And during that now-infamous practice session, Wiggins was among the targets of Butler during his outburst.
However, considering Wiggins' comments, is it safe to say that the drama is over? When the Timberwolves and the Philadelphia 76ers meet on Tuesday, will the two shake hands like good old friends?
