With so many legends retiring, the NBA just isn’t the same. We have seen the dominance of LeBron James over the years, and now the emergence of Stephen Curry. However, things are changing. There is one player in the NBA right now who has the potential to be the next Kobe Bryant. His name is Andrew Wiggins.
First of all, Wiggins has the scoring ability of an NBA superstar. Wiggins can score from anywhere on the court, which explains how he averaged 21 points a game in only his second season in the NBA.
Second of all, Wiggins has unbelievable potential. The moves he uses, such as this jump shot on Kobe, show how Wiggins can be an elite scorer. Not only that, Wiggins has shown his ability to take over a game and score many points against skilled defenders.
Finally, Wiggins has potent teammates who can help him lead his team to glory, such as Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns has skills which make him one of the best centers in the league already. Towns has a decent jump shot, exceptional rebounding, and quality defense in the post, and on the perimeter. Other than the versatile Towns, Wiggins is surrounded by other young talent such as Zach LaVine, a true scorer, and Ricky Rubio, an elite passer.
Wiggins has the potential, scoring ability, and teammates to win multiple accolades and championships throughout the rest of his career.
