People talk about Wiggins like he's some chump. He's shooting 40% from 3 and one of the best perimeter defenders in the league by the advanced metrics (any many think he's better by the eye test).
Starting? Well that's a quirk of the positional restrictions, injuries, and the popularity of the Warriors.
It is extremely common for the #3 guy on one of the league's best teams to get the all star nod over someone with good stats on a bad team.
And yes, there are Andrew Wiggins fans out here. Warriors fans, Canadians, Kansas fans--if you've been on Wiggins island the whole time this is in awesome to see. Andrew Wiggins--All Star Starter. Take that take that take that. And well, let's just say he's going to turn some heads in April, May and June.
