A five-year contract extension worth nearly $150 million sat in front of Andrew Wiggins for more than two months. The Minnesota Timberwolves are hoping that self-assurance and unflappable nature helps a franchise long in the basement finally break through. "I like everyone from the trainers to the coaches to the front office, my teammates," Wiggins said. Along with Karl-Anthony Towns and Jimmy Butler, Wiggins is expected to help the Timberwolves end a 13-season playoff drought. "It's motivation to get better and show everybody what I can do, the other stuff I can do," Wiggins said.
