"It's all about Andrew Wiggins. If he transforms into an efficient offensive player and shutdown defender, this team is a four or five seed with a good shot at playing in the second round of the playoffs. If he keeps throwing up contested midrange jumpers and getting beat on back cuts, it's an eight seed and first-round sweep by Golden State."
