What do you think is the reason why Wiggins was selected to the NBA All-Star for the first time in his career and was directly selected as a starter?

Some people don’t seem to have reacted to Wiggins becoming an All-Star, and some even don’t accept it, because as the No. 1 pick, he has struggled for so long with the Timberwolves and still hasn’t won the All-Star, but only after entering the Warriors He got it in just 2 years and was selected as the starter. The scary thing is that from the data point of view, Wiggins' performance has not improved greatly when he was in the Timberwolves and now with the Warriors. So, Wiggins was selected. What is the reason for being an NBA All-Star and being directly selected as a starter? Let me answer it for you below.

First, the injuries to the Western Conference forwards. Logically speaking, Wiggins is not in the All-Star position. There are many people ahead of him who are better than him, such as Big Eyebrow, Leonard, and George. However, Big Eyebrow was absent in the 21-22 season due to injuries. The rate is not very high. Leonard is also suffering from a long-term injury, while George is directly reimbursed for the season. As for James, he has taken the exemption card. Then, the only player left on the Western Conference forward who can do anything is Wiggins.

Second, the huge influence of the Warriors. We all know that the Warriors' influence is definitely at the top whether it is in the NBA or in the hearts of fans. The base of Warriors fans is naturally increasing, and they also pay attention to every player in the team. Therefore, Fans see how hard Wiggins works on the team. It can be said that Wiggins' inclusion in the All-Stars is recognition from Golden State Warriors fans. A player who came to the Warriors halfway, in such a short time It is really not easy to be able to plug and play in a team. In addition, Wiggins has the most powerful physical talent in the Warriors, so it is normal to love him.

Third, Wiggins’ own stability and efficiency. According to the comparison of relevant data, Wiggins is more stable than Curry. Compared with others on the Warriors, his scoring in the 21-22 season is the most stable, followed by Curry. In the game, Wiggins was efficient and stable on the offensive end. He was always staring at the opponent's boss level on the defensive end. He was a representative figure of the offensive and defensive forward line in the 21-22 season.

The above three reasons are why Wiggins was able to be selected as an NBA All-Star and directly selected as a starter. I hope he can perform well in more seasons.
