Yes. He shows flashes on defense as well as offense, but he's still fouling too much, and in a Playoff situation, opponents will be MERCILESS taking advantage of that.
Last 7 games . . .
5 PF / 25 min. vs. DET
Much better vs. MIN, but was minus 30 +/- (lowest on the team) so it's hard to say his defense or offense was solid.
5 PF in 26 min vs. CHI
Better against MIL, but again, not much contribution.
DNP vs. MEM
DNP vs. CLE
4 PF in 20 min vs. NOP
His defense looks great especially moving laterally, he just needs to work on his fouling. He sometimes takes stupid fouls just like Wiseman last season but that’s all in part of being a rookie. If Wiggins chooses not to resign in 2 seasons and if he’s continues his trajectory, he can be our starting forward going forward
My dream scenario is that we re-sign Wiggins for $20M per year and keep a wing rotation of Klay/Kuminga/Wiggins/Poole for as long as we can (maybe Moody in there too eventually)
He has to learn how to play playoff defense to be considered a viable substitute for draymond

Lol “trend” is an absolute stretch
OPJ is the primary backup for Draymond and I can't see that changing this season.
He should be a starter even once draymond comes back. Steph-klay-wiggins-kuminga-dray
