ORIGINAL: David Levine Tatum shut himself down. He shot the same percent when guarded by Wiggins and when not guarded by Wiggins. He came up real small. Wiggins is who he always was. He's still only engaged part of the time, but he's on a team with so much talent, that they can get by without him for big stretches of games. As much as Warriors fans want to crow about him now, they were all ready to dump him during that long stretch after the ASG when GS had injuries and needed Wigs to step up and absolutely couldn't. The only difference between MN Wigs and GS Wigs is he's asked to do a lot less on offense, so he takes fewer, but much better shots. As far as defense, Wigs was always a fine man-defender. He just can't grasp team defense concepts, so that's where he'd get lost. GS schemes for that by trying to not have Wigs ever switch off his man. He's a role player which helps him tremendously. Not asked to be the guy. Still, he was the 2nd best player for GS in the Finals. Kudos to him.
