2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wiggins featured in a career-best 78 games in the 2023-24 regular season with the Thunder, but he was limited to just four starts, and his numbers were subpar. He averaged just 6.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists across a career-worst 15.7 minutes per game. Given that the Thunder added two solid rotation pieces in Alex Caruso and Isaiah Hartenstein in the offseason, Wiggins' minutes with OKC should be even more scarce in 2024-25. As a deep bench option in one of the best -- and deepest -- rosters in the Western Conference, Wiggins' upside will be minimal. Fantasy managers shouldn't be interested in drafting him, not even in the deepest of formats. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Aaron Daniel Wiggins was born in January of 1999 in Greensboro, North Carolina. He is the son of Serena and Tim Wiggins. While growing up, Wiggins had interests beyond just sports and he spent time in high school playing the piano and trombone along with acting in school plays. The guard began playing high school basketball at Grimsley High School before transferring to Wesleyan Christian Academy where he averaged 15.1 points and was named an NCISAA Class 3A All-State selection in his senior season. During this time, Wiggins also played on the AAU circuit for Team Charlotte and averaged 15 points and seven rebounds en route to an AAU Super Showcase title. In 2017, Wiggins committed to play for Maryland and appeared in all 34 of the team's games during his freshman season while playing 23.5 minutes-per-game -- the most of any reserve player on the team. He also averaged 8.3 points and 3.3 rebounds and led the team in three-point percentage with 41.3 percent. Wiggins followed this up with a 2020 Big Ten Conference Sixth Man of the Year award in his sophomore season. As a junior, he averaged 14.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists and earned 2021 Honorable Mention All-Big Ten honors. In April of 2021, Wiggins declared for the 2021 NBA Draft. He was selected with the 55th overall pick by the Oklahoma City Thunder and was the second-leading scorer on the team's NBA Summer League roster, averaging 11.2 points. In August of 2021, Wiggins signed a two-way contract with the Thunder and their NBA G-League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue. Fans can follow Wiggins on Twitter @Aaron_Wiggins_.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Wiggins got more playing time in his rookie season than is usually expected from a late second-round pick, averaging 24.2 minutes per contest over 50 games. His overall stat line -- 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 three-pointers and 0.6 steals -- won't turn many heads, but Wiggins didn't sink in any area, shooting 46.3 percent from the field and 72.9 percent from the charity stripe while averaging just over one turnover per contest. The primary knock on Wiggins is his lack of a consistent outside shot, and his 30.4 percent mark from deep last season suggests that he has work to do in that area if he is to become more than a role player. The Thunder expressed their pleasure with Wiggins' early development by converting his two-way contract to a four-year deal in February, so he figures to at least have a shot at playing meaningful minutes next season. However, OKC has a stable of young talent and only so much playing time to hand out. Wiggins could as easily see his role lessen in his second campaign.
Wiggins was selected by the Thunder with the 55th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, and he inked a two-way deal. The Thunder elected to add some depth at the guard position by choosing a great 3-and-D player in Wiggins. The 22-year-old averaged 14.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals in his final collegiate season at Maryland. In signing a two-way deal, Wiggins will spend much of the upcoming season in the G League.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to remain with OKC
FOklahoma City Thunder
June 16, 2024
The Thunder are reportedly considering the possibility of keeping Wiggins around for the 2024-25 season, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac.
ANALYSIS
Fortunately for the Thunder, they have a couple of paths they can follow to get that deal done. The Thunder could either sign Wiggins by exercising their $2 million team option and trying to sign him to an extension, or they could turn down the option and hope to reach a new deal with him as a restricted free agent. Wiggins averaged 6.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game in 2023-24.
