8. Andrew Wiggins, Cleveland Cavaliers (2014)

NBA career stats: 19.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 44%FG

Andrew Wiggins has had an up and down NBA career, and that’s putting it lightly. Coming out of college, Wiggins was getting comparisons to being the next big thing in the Association. However, despite his natural abilities he has yet to put it all together at the NBA level. He’s had flashes here and there, but Wiggins still leaves much to be desired as a former top overall pick.

Despite having all the athletic ability in the world, Wiggins still struggles mightily on the defensive end and has yet to show the ability to be a true leader in any locker room, much less being the face of a franchise.

After being draft by the Cavs, Wiggins was soon after traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Kevin Love. It resulted in Cleveland’s first NBA Championship, so you can say it all worked out for them. Though, Wiggins has been inconsistent since then.

The Wolves recently moved Wiggins to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for D’Angelo Russell. Wiggins is now on his third NBA team.
