3. Andrew Wiggins, G/F, Minnesota Timberwolves

Andrew Wiggins has gotten better every season thus far in his NBA career. This past season, he put up 23.6 points per game, while displaying an improved stroke, especially from beyond the arc.

He shot a career-high 35 percent from three-point range. Not great, but definitely improved from the 30 percent clip that he shot in his first two years in the NBA.

But now is the time for Wiggins to develop more of an all-around game. He has the athleticism and the talent to be an awesome rebounder and a lock down defender. If he can make strides in those areas and also become a slightly better playmaker, Wiggins could transform into a true superstar.
