Wiggins Is Vital to T-Wolves' Future

In six games this season, Wiggins is averaging 19.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting 40 percent from the field. 

Wiggins is one of the critical building blocks that give the Wolves such a bright future. He enjoyed a solid rookie campaign and is now in the process of becoming a more efficient offensive contributor as the franchise continues the retooling process around him.

Wiggins will jump right back into his marquee role now that he's healthy.
