With the start of the 2021-22 NBA schedule officially on the calendar, Andrew Wiggins is putting the final touches on his extended offseason with the Golden State Warriors.
During Golden State’s lengthy layoff from game action, the former Rookie of the Year has been active in the gym. His camp has displayed a behind the scenes look at Wiggins working on his long-distance shooting, layups and handles. At a recent offseason workout with a group of fellow NBA players in Los Angeles, Wiggins looked impressive in a 1-on-1 training session.
With the NBA season approaching, Wiggins may have saved his best offseason exercise for last. On Monday, the Andrew Wiggins Enterprises Instagram account posted a video of the Golden State wing throwing down a highlight-worthy dunk.

If Wiggins can carry over his offseason dunking talent to the start of Golden State’s 2020-21 campaign, the 25-year old could provide a new dynamic to Steve Kerr’s rotation that needs a jolt of athleticism.
Following a trade to the Warriors from the Minnesota Timberwolves at the deadline, Wiggins’ first stint in the Bay Area was cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic.
During his 12-game run 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.
After working on different areas of his game throughout the offseason, Wiggins will finally get the chance to join Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and the rest of his teammates at Chase Center when preseason training camp opens on Dec. 1.
