Telles has been playing for the Xinjiang team since the first stage of this season. At that time, Jones was still adapting to the new environment and was a little acclimated. However, Telles used his precise shooting and good organizational skills to win for himself. prove. But Xinjiang, which was not satisfied with the status quo, continued to change the position of foreign aid. After signing Crick in the third stage, they gave up Telles, who had already integrated into the team, and retained only the players who joined the team in the second stage. Wigginton who played a few games.
Most of the time in the third stage, Qiu Biao basically played Wigginton and Jones as a double outsider. It is true that Wigginton's scoring ability is even better than Telles', but his outside shooting and organizational connection are indeed slightly inferior. But as the season progressed, Wigginton seemed to have found the chemistry to play in Xinjiang.
In this round of Xinjiang's 119-106 victory over Shanghai, Wigginton played for 19 minutes and scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists on 3-of-4 three-pointers. Even when facing defensive elites like Xue Bu and Liu Zheng, Wigginton was not afraid and showed his "Teleis substitute" style, which also gave Xinjiang fans more confidence.
Compared with Telles, Wigginton's advantage lies in his stronger physical confrontation and breakthrough, but his disadvantage is Telles's advantage, which is the lack of outside shooting and organizational ability. But starting in the last few games, even if The shooting is still satisfactory, but Wigginton's organizational ability has begun to stand out.
So far, Wigginton has averaged 16.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 20 minutes of playing time. His shooting percentage has reached 48%, but his three-point shooting percentage is only 33.3%. However, if this game against Shanghai can allow me to get through Ren and Du's second line and find the confidence to shoot from the outside, then Xinjiang will most likely gain an "enhanced version of Telles."
For Wigginton, who is only 25 years old, if he cannot go back to the NBA, he can stay in the CBA for a long time. He can play in a championship favorite like Xinjiang. I believe that if he is placed on other teams with average strength, he will have more playing time. With his shooting rights fully guaranteed, he should have the potential to become the league's top foreign aid. Of course, the premise is that he must correct his attitude and not "eat from the bowl and look at the pot."
If Wigginton can become an "inspection-free product", then after Zhao Rui returns, Qiu Biao may give Crick more playing time. But in the playoffs, for the sake of safety, Wigginton and Jones are expected to become the team's main foreign players. With their age and explosive power being more dominant than Jones's, Wigginton will have the opportunity to become Xinjiang's " "Core foreign aid"?
