I think he was underrated (especially defensively) for most of his career, but he is broken now and I don't know if he will recover. Its a shame because 2 year ago Maxi would be such an asset to this team.

Currently
averaging 4/3/2 (rounding up graciously) in 19 MPG
shooting 34/26/66
on/off overall is minus 8.2 (mostly against back-ups).
on/off defensively is minus 5.6.
26.5 for 2.5 years left.
So if you are argue as a prisoner of the moment for Wiggins´s performance level, then Maxi´s career/contract is on death row right now. Currently he´s not even worth 1.1M let alone 11M per year.
You act like the Wiggins hate is based entirely on this season. He has a long history of being a bad basketball player while making a ton of money. Two good years at Golden State does not completely wash that away.
