The NBA’s best-kept secret is the talent of Aaron Wiggins, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Swiss Army knife. While his Basketball Reference page may not be universally acclaimed, with an average of 6.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and a stock per game, his impact goes far beyond statistics.
Wiggins can defend four positions on the court at a high level, makes the right decisions on offense and finishes plays to make a winning impact for the OKC Thunder. His motor, defense and efficiency make him a top fan favorite in Bricktown.
