Through the early goings of his stint with the Golden State Warriors, it's safe to say Andrew Wiggins looks like a much more rejuvenated version of himself compared to what people saw when he played with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The former No. 1 overall pick has established himself as a serviceable two-way player for the Dubs this season and expressed his happiness to be a part of a top-notch organization like the Warriors.
Asked to compare about his time with Golden State and Minnesota, Wiggins noticed just how much more “organized” the Warriors do things within the team. He did, however, note that he also shared that same experience for a couple of seasons with the Timberwolves when Tom Thibodeau ran the organization.
“It’s different, because everything here is organized. You know what you’re doing every night,” Wiggins said via Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic. “You know what you’re getting yourself into. You know the minutes you’re going to play, you know your rotation.
“There was a couple years like that in Minnesota where everything, you know everything. That was with Coach Thibs. Thibs was very organized. Thibs was very clear, he was very straightforward. That’s one thing they do here. They’re very straightforward. They’re not going to sugar-coat nothing. There’s no trick questions, so it’s good.”
As far as being in Golden State, Andrew Wiggins knows how high the standards are within this organization and he is noticing how the winning culture affects everybody's mentality on the team. Certainly, the 25-year old is feeling that with his new squad.
“They’re a championship team. It’s very positive over here, very positive,” Wiggins said. “Everyone is getting along. No egos, nothing like that. Everyone just wants to win. Just a winning attitude, winning culture. We all want to get better. Everyone is lifting each other up, cheering for each other. So it’s all love over here.”
The Warriors will face Minnesota again on Jan. 27 at home.
