"After spending parts of six different NBA seasons with the Golden State Warriors, you'd think Andrew Wiggins may have mastered all the ins and outs of pace-and-space offense. Yet, something just isn't computing in terms of activating him within the Miami Heat's new up-tempo scheme. The veteran swingman, who's been both an All-Star and a champion, just can't seem to find his fit with his third NBA franchise. His on/off splits have been alarmingly atrocious; Miami has so far fared a whopping 31.7 points worse per 100 possessions with him than without, per NBA.com."
"For multiple reasons, Miami needs Wiggins to figure things out. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra clearly trusts Wiggins. The forward is one of only three players to start every game for them this season, and his 221 minutes are second-highest on the team. Still, at some point Spo will have to see proof of concept that the trust is warranted. Because with Wiggins stuck in a rut and Jaime Jaquez Jr. bouncing back in a big way, it won't be much longer before fans start calling for a change with the club's opening group."
Andrew Wiggins has struggled to integrate into Miami Heat’s new up-tempo offense, registering a 31.7-point worse per-100 possessions on/off split so far this season. The forward started every game and logged the team's second-most minutes, reflecting coach Erik Spoelstra’s trust. Wiggins averages 16.3 points on 51.1 percent shooting but is underwhelming as a perimeter shooter at 34.4 percent and as a playmaker with 1.9 assists and 2.3 turnovers. Jaime Jaquez Jr. has excelled as the second-unit focal point with a team-leading plus-45 net differential, increasing pressure on Wiggins to justify his role.
