Golden State Warriors are headed to their sixth NBA final in eight years; therefore, proving the fact that the dynasty is far from over. It was a season that saw the Dubs regain their full strength, as well as several unsung heroes, emerged from the shadows. Andrew Wiggins was one of the unsung stars that aided the team in reaching the Finals.

Wiggins made such great strides as a solid two-way player that he was selected for his first All-Star game. The Warriors would not have made it this far without his supplementary offense and relentless defense. Wiggins hushed his naysayers after months of speculation surrounding whether he would fit into the Warriors’ battle plan. To sum it up, he fit perfectly like a glove.

Steve Kerr, the Warriors’ head coach, remarked on how well third-year Warrior has performed these playoffs. “Wiggs has just been a perfect fit and we wouldn’t be here without him, that’s for sure.”

Wiggins has ignited a fire within himself as well as the Bay Area, as seen by his unrivaled confidence on a nightly basis. He’s become an essential part of Kerr’s game plan, and how he performs in the finals will be pivotal to the Warriors’ success.

He did not see playoffs basketball until this year, with a team he rediscovered himself, the Golden State Warriors.
