Andrew Wiggins has been announced as one of the all-star starters in the upcoming NBA game. The basketball community is very unhappy about this news. On the other hand, many have expressed that he does not belong on the all-star team given the rank in his career currently.
Now, it seems Andrew Wiggins is not the only thing wrong with the All-Star selection. Kevin Durant was selected as Eastern Conference Captain despite the uncertainty to play due to an injury. Thus far, Andrew Wiggins has sent many into a fury. Despite this, Andrew is embracing the best time in his career.
While the public is confused about this decision, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. So,50% of the votes have come from the public with 25 percent coming from social media and a 25 percent player vote.

According to Sporting News, Andrew has averaged 18.1 points on career-high shooting efficiencies of 48.3 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from the 3-point, where he’s making a career-high 2.2 3-pointers per game.
Now, Andrew Wiggins has had a successful career thus far. But, some believe that he is not on the level of his fellow All-Star group. This sparked a lot of debate on how he could have been selected as one of the All-Star players but is there anything that can be done? Well, thus far, nothing can be done to this selection as it was fairly considered. Furthermore, while other players have been overlooked in this case, maybe it’s time to give it a chance?
In a pre-game interview, Wiggins relayed that he thought he was dreaming when he heard the news. He said that his peers have been very supportive and showed him a lot of love during this time.
