A lot higher, but you see guys like Poole a lot. For every one of them that goes on for good careers, there's many that flame out of the league.

Hope he can get some consistency, because he has a lot of natural attributes.

Yeah I don't know...biggest thing is his movement, with and without the ball. You don't see that a lot...if he stays hungry he still has plenty of scope to grow.

Today's big question...is Wiggins worth his contract? He's the 27th best paid in the league...he must be around that mark at present, not many better two way wings .

He's definitely not worth his contract, but he's been very good.

This season he is worth the $31M

Top 10 Contracts (Average Salary) at SF in NBA:

  1. Leonard - $44M (Inactive)
  2. LeBron - $42.8M (22.8p/5.0r/6.1a)
  3. Durant - $41M (28.6p/7.9r/4.9a)
  4. Harris - $36M (20.6p/8.3r/4.1a)
  5. Middleton - $35.5M (18.3p/5.1r/5.0a)
  6. Butler - $35M (25.1p/5.6r/5.4a)
  7. Ingram - $31.6M (22.5p/6.5r/4.6a)
  8. Hayward - $30M (17.7p/5.1r/3.5a)
  9. Wiggins - $29.5M (19.1p/4.3r/1.6a)
  10. Barnes - $21.2M (19.9p/7.5r/2.5a)
The way he is playing I think he is worth every cent considering blokes like Middleton and Hayward are on more and done a lot less this season then Wiggins.

SF is pretty stacked...I'd say he sits about right on that list. You would expect a slow build from Middleton coming off a chip, a gold medal and some injury niggle...he's still levels above Wiggins.

League wide though there are plenty earning more and delivering less. As an expiring next year he'll certainly be a positive asset, though unlikely we'd be looking to trade as it stands.

Worked for other teams last year!

Warriors are actually +2.7pp 100 possessions this year when he sits.

Been negative for every season of his career before this year other than 17/18.

Wiggins is a gun. Wake up.

Middleton has been s**t too.

Warriors will be bonkers with Wiseman and klay.

Shocker from Steph. Games like that is where Wiseman would be handy...a scoring big to change tack when the shots aren't dropping

Poole and Steph just can't seem to get it going in the same game.

Any minor upgrades with the trade window not far away?

Nothing really springs to mind...potentially two starters to return, all the bench guys are contributing, and all the Wiggins talk has cooled. No incentive to trade Kuminga or Moody as no glaring holes to fill.

Could upgrade Chiozza who is actually seeing some minutes, but not losing sleep over it.

Wait and see what buyout season brings.
