As the current star of the Timberwolves, Wiggins, as the champion in 2014, has just entered the league and has been favored by fans, and is even regarded as the next James. Many people also compare him to Garnett, a veteran star of the Timberwolves, but through analysis, it is still too early for Wiggins to reach Garnett's level, and it is unlikely that he will reach Garnett's heights in the future. <>
When Wiggins first entered the league, his skills and physical fitness were touted by various **scams. This also made him more of a league and outside of the fandom. As a result, the high-profile Wiggins averaged 17 points per game in his first year.
In the following 16-17 seasons, Wiggins averaged 23 points per game like an explosion and became the second scorer and core of the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves still had Towns and LaVine at that time. To this day, Wiggins and Towns are still the most important and youngest duo of the Timberwolves. <>
But Wiggins, despite his talent, still has shortcomings. For example, Wiggins is underweight and has a disadvantage in physical strength. In terms of offensive means, his long-range shooting ability is very bad.
This is not comparable to Garnett. At that time, Garnett's mid-to-long-range jumpers were very offensive and his shooting percentage was guaranteed. And Wiggins lacks a certain leadership temperament.
His performances on the pitch are often just a matter of swiping up stats, and when the opposite is a superstar, he becomes inactive. He can't compare to Garnett in this regard. Because Garnett, as a former rebounding champion and known for his defense, his basketball spirit was recognized by the entire league at the time, and he has always been the spiritual leader of the team.
If Wiggins wants to match Garnett, he will have to improve on this point. <>
In the end, the most valuable indicator of a player is the number of honors he has received. There's no doubt that Wiggins isn't a match for Garnett at this point. Garnett has been named to the league's All-Defensive Team or All-Defensive Team many times, and has won many honors such as regular season MVP, All-Star Game MVP, and rebounding title.
Wiggins has received very few accolades other than his talent, but he still has a lot to offer as a young man, and his future is still promising. Overall, Wiggins is still far from Garnett, the king of the Wolves. Therefore, he still has a long way to go, and I hope he will live up to the fans who have been paying attention to and optimistic about him, seize his excellent talent and young years, leave the wolfberry tea in his hand, and make great achievements in the future NBA to realize his value.
-
It should be achievable, as long as Wiggins puts down his thermos cup and is not playing health basketball, with Wiggins' talent, it should be able to reach or even surpass.
-
As long as you work hard and train hard, you will definitely reach or even surpass Garnett's heights, after all, Wiggins is known as one of the most talented players, with a high ball IQ and good technique.
-
Yes, because the Timberwolves' star Wiggins is still young, he has a solid style of play, is not prone to injury, has a long career, and has reached All-Star level at the moment.
-
It's possible. Because Garnett's entire career has a very high annual salary, he himself is also very rich, and he also wants to work in NBA team operations.
-
will become the owner of the team. Garnett is a decorated player for the Timberwolves and is quite popular in Minnesota, and being a shareholder of the team will be a big benefit to him.

As a big forward who can be ranked in the top three in NBA history, Kevin Garnett entered the league as a high school student in 1995, before entering the NBA league, Garnett's name has been well-known in the United States, and it was once rumored that Garnett has extremely unnatural physical fitness, and can easily touch the top edge of the rebound, and Garnett is tall and long, and at the same time moves extremely fast at the foot of his feet, can be competent in multiple positions on the court, and excellent defensive ability, so that he can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, It can be called one of the most well-rounded stars in NBA history.
In the summer of 2007, Kevin Garnett, who was 31 years old at the time, was dissatisfied with the poor record of the Timberwolves and was determined to leave the team to seek redevelopment, in the previous season, the 31-year-old Garnett was still one of the best interior players in the Western Conference, averaging minutes per game, and the average number of points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks per game, after the news of Garnett's trade broke, the management of the remaining 29 teams in the league instantly became excited, Many teams immediately pulled out their chips to seek a trade.
The first to find the Timberwolves was the Los Angeles Lakers, when Kobe Bryant was also clamoring to leave, and the Lakers management decided to trade Garnett with Odom, Bynum and a second-round pick in order to keep Kobe, but Garnett had hoped to communicate with Kobe Bryant at that time, but the ** he called Kobe Bryant was ultimately not connected, which also led to the deal not going through.
The Bulls attacked Kobe Bryant and Garnett at the same time, and they took out the team's core Gordon, Ruhr Deng, Thomas, Swiss Army Knife Sefrosa, as well as PJ Brown and the 9th pick in the first round. The Suns originally also hoped to get Garnett, they took out Marion, Barbossa and Dio at the beginning, but after that, they got the news that Kobe Bryant asked to leave the team, so they wanted to exchange Stoudemire and Garnett for one, and the rest of the chips were used to trade Kobe, but such a ** was finally rejected by the Timberwolves.
In the end, it was the Celtics who impressed the Timberwolves, who took out the core of the team at the time, Al Jefferson, Gerard Green, Telfair, Ryan, Gomez, and also two first-round picks, and finally got Garnett in a 7-for-1 way, and relying on the help of Garnett and Ray Allen, the Celtics finally succeeded in winning the championship in 2008.
It can be said that Garnett relies on his outstanding talent and strength, and at the age of 31, he is still the hottest star in the transfer market.
-
There is no reaction, Garnett is also in his twilight years, and his scoring ability has declined significantly, but the inside line is still okay.
-
At that time, the management of the other 29 teams in the league was very excited, after all, Garnett was a very good interior player, with all-round skills and tough defense, but Garnett preferred to go to a team with championship ability.
-
It's big, Garnett has been on this team since he was drafted by the Timberwolves, basically playing from 20 to 30, but he was waived, and everyone couldn't believe it.
-
Back then, fans were in favor of him winning the championship, and the Timberwolves will always have only one wolf king.
-
When Garnett left the Timberwolves, the management of the Timberwolves did not say that they didn't want to keep him, but Garnett was determined to win the championship.
-
Yes. Garnett has always been at the heart of the team, and the team is desperate to keep him.
-
No, the Timberwolves can be used to reshuffle the cards, and Garnett can go to the Celtics to win the championship. It's a win-win.
-
Garnett joined the Timberwolves at two times in his career, and both periods were very important for the Timberwolves, mainly as follows:
During the first Timberwolves period, Kevin Garnett was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the fifth pick in the first round, won the regular season MVP in the 2003-04 season, and at the peak of his career, he had absolute shot power in the Timberwolves, and improved the Timberwolves' record to the championship level.
Returning to the Timberwolves period, returning to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2015, although Garnett's economic level has declined a lot during this period, his rich game experience and Finals experience can still lead the young players of the Timberwolves forward, and now his main role is spiritual leadership.
-
That's for sure! Garnett has been with the Timberwolves for the past few years, and the Celtics only passed after his prime, and all the fans of the Timberwolves did not complain at all in the past, so it is conceivable!
-
As a big forward with better technical and physical conditions, or a center (because Garnett reported his height when he entered the league, in order to play the big forward he has always preferred), the importance of a team can be imagined, and it is an All-Star level!
You said Duncan is so old now, and the Spurs didn't say let him go? Not to mention Garnett at his peak! The importance is incomprehensible!
-
When Garnett was there, the Timberwolves were better than they are now, because Garnett rarely got injured when he was young, and he had a lot of seasons in full attendance, he was all-round offensive and defensive, with top skills and first-class physical fitness. As a 211cm big forward, Garnett can even play a cameo point guard due to his flexibility, speed and playmaking ability comparable to that of a point guard, and has led the team to the Western Conference Finals. The truth is that after Garnett left, the Timberwolves never made the playoffs again.
-
Western Conference Finals!
On May 20, Beijing time, the Timberwolves defeated the Kings 83-80 at home, eliminated the opponent 4-3, and achieved the most significant victory in the team's history. Their next opponent is the Lakers, and the Timberwolves have home-court advantage.
In this must-win game, Garnett fully showed his "MVP" style. He scored 14 points in the final quarter and contributed 32 points, 21 rebounds, 5 blocks and 4 steals. Kassel also had a good score, with 23 points and seven assists.
It was not easy to defeat the king at that time!!
-
03-04 Western Conference Finals, 2:4 loss to Los Angeles Lakers.
The regular season record of 58-24 is also the best record in many years.

On August 7, Beijing time, the "Stellar Tribune" reported that although the "Wolf King" Kevin Garnett left the Timberwolves and chose to join the Celtics to start a new journey in his career, the Timberwolves, who he has played for for more than ten years, will never forget the former leader. According to Timberwolves owner Taylor himself, Garnett's No. 21 jersey that he wore with the Timberwolves will no longer appear on the court, and when the time comes, the jersey will be retired permanently. Garnett joined the Timberwolves as a high school student in '95, and his contract with a total price of more than $100 million shocked the entire league.
Garnett then began a long career as the "King of the Wolves", averaging 20 points per game in his 12 seasons with the Timberwolvespoints and rebounds, and an assist. All-round talent is what sets Garnett apart from other big men.
However, Garnett's personality determines that he is a tragic hero, and he pays too much attention to team cooperation on the court, so that during the Timberwolves as the leader, Garnett was repeatedly criticized for not daring to take on the team's offensive responsibility, just blindly looking for teammates to respond, and let teammates attack. It is precisely because of the lack of strength of his teammates around him that Garnett's 12-year career has always been an unattainable dream. Garnett, who is now over 30 years old, had to choose to leave the Timberwolves and join the Celtics in order to win a championship.
With the help of Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, winning a championship is no longer a dream. Of course, the Timberwolves are also saddened by Garnett's departure. To honor Garnett's contributions to the Timberwolves, team owner Taylor ultimately decided that the No. 21 jersey would never appear on the court again and would retire it forever in due course.
If some people ask me if the No. 21 jersey will be available for them, my return is no," Taylor told reporters, "and although Kevin is gone, he will always be the most special player here, and his jersey will be retired in Minnesota." "****: Basketball Chinese Network (

Of course!!! First of all, the Timberwolves are now the first in the district, and there are kgs. Timberwolves GO! go!go!!!
Home team: The Timberwolves have been in some ups and downs recently, losing to the Grizzlies and Hawks since the start of this month, and the state is extremely sluggish, and there is no continuation of the previous momentum, although the interior performance is stronger under the leadership of the main Lefou, and the combination with Pekevic is very strong, but at present, it only relies on the inside to score, the outside attack is very unstable, Martin's hand is hot and cold, and the team lacks bench strength, and there is very little to be able to take on the role, which makes the Wolves' physical strength greatly reduced. The Timberwolves are currently in 11th place in the West. >>>More
Garnett. Kassel.
Spreville. >>>More
Every player will have a championship dream, and the Wolves of that year had no hope for the Timberwolves, because it was impossible for the Timberwolves to win the championship. Garnett was hoping to win the championship in the final few seasons, so he made it to Boston. >>>More
