2035 Hall of Fame Nominee - Andrew Wiggins

[Donny - Bucks]

The 135th nominee of the NBN Hall of Fame is another almost shoe-in, in my eyes at least. Over 500 double doubles at the small forward position, four championships, 100s of player of the game awards, 6th all time in points. Does Wiggins deserve to be a Hall of Famer?

Arguments For Induction
- In his last four seasons, he played a bench role and still ended his career averaging 24.1/8.1. This is dominance. 16 seasons in a row averaging more than 24 points, including reeling off one of the most impressive rookie years in NBN history (24/7.6 on 44%). 
- Dominant SF. Weakest position in the league imo for a while, Wiggins was always strong and insanely talented.
- Four time Champion, 534 double doubles, 8 triple doubles.
- Always a great scorer, defender, and rebounder for his entire career.

Arguments Against Induction
- Got nothing here either. The only knock on him is essentially that he never won a player of the month of an All-League First team, which is shocking in itself, but guys like Giannis, Kawhi, and RJ Barrett were also around and had their peaks of dominance in similar years.

Vote carefully, and remember to throw out arguments regardless of which side you're on. This should be a discussion that eventually gets the league to the proper decision on him. Your vote can also be retracted after it's been cast if you feel like switching to the other side based on the arguments that have been made. To be inducted, a player needs 70% and to be considered in a later class they need 50%. Vote carefully.

***BONUS - Don't forget that everyone who votes gets $25 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $25***

[lynchcats]

Duh. He and Frankie should get in together as Kings.

[ucfinfan86]

Yes, as a King.

[vanimmer]

another easy yes here.
Kings

[frosty]

Yes elite player on title teams

[pjclippers]

One of the easier yes votes. Definitely had a better career here than in the NBA. Top 20 lifetime in pretty much every major category plus a bunch of All-Star and All-League teams. Enjoyed his best seasons on the Kings so voted him in there.

[JCog72]

Very easy yes, to the Kings...Wiggins was one of the best SFs to ever do it in the NBN

[don1955]

he might have been on some good teams, but 4 ships is still hard to do

[A. Silver]

Easy yes, he is a top 3 SF to ever play in the league. Elite scoring, elite rebounding, good defense, and plenty of championships.

[Charles]

Another King to get in this class XD. Easily a yes.

[verysilentone]

Definite yes. Really good numbers even with those last 4 seasons at the end.

[bigthunder]

Lock for me, other than KD not sure if there has been a better SF in the league. Elite play and ability and won a lot of rings.

[carmelo115]

Oh yes

[Rog]

Thought he might end up in the top 5-7 in league history, think he settles for "just" top 10. Regardless, hes in.

Really? I think he's the 2nd best SF, and right around 5-7 overall. Who is better?
