While the Golden State Warriors build their plan for the No. 2 overall pick on draft night in November, Andrew Wiggins is preparing for the new season.
On Friday, a video was shared of the former Rookie of the Year going to work in a 1-on-1 drill against fellow NBA players. During the training session, Wiggins showed off a bevy of skills in his offensive repertoire.
The Golden State wing displayed a lightning-quick turnaround fade away along with a smooth euro step and a stepback jumper. Throughout the clip, the Kansas product flashed a pair of devastating spin moves on his way to the basket.
Along with his offensive attack, Wiggins recorded a block against former Warrior Jordan Bell. San Antonio’s Trey Lyles and Detroit’s Tony Snell joined Bell and Wiggins for the workout in Los Angeles.

After landing in the Bay Area in a blockbuster trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Wiggins only suited up for the Warriors in 12 contests.
During his short debut in Golden State, Wiggins averaged 19.4 points on 45.7% shooting from the field with 4.6 boards, 3.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.3 steals per contest. Over his first stint with the Warriors, Wiggins shot 33.9% from beyond the arc.
With Steph Curry and Klay Thompson expected to be healthy for the 2020-21 season opener, Wiggins will have the chance to build on his steady first impression in Golden State. Along with their first-round draft pick, Wiggins will play a key role in Golden State’s climb back to the top of the Western Conference.
If Wiggins’ performance in the featured 1-on-1 drill is any indication of how the 25-year-old is progressing, Warriors fans should be excited.
