Andrew Wiggins is bringing ‘so effective’ Warriors traits to Miami Heat, claims teammate

Davion Mitchell credits Andrew Wiggins’ understated Golden State Warriors approach translating to Miami Heat success

According to guard Davion Mitchell, the Heat possess an underrated star in Andrew Wiggins, whose calm but effective style has driven much of their success

Mitchell believes Wiggins has maintained this approach since his Golden State Warriors tenure, where he operated under the radar alongside stars like Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

“He’s just a guy who leads by example, he’s kind of been that, even with the Warriors, kind of that guy that was just under the radar, but he always just so effective on both ends of the floor,” Mitchell explained.

“He works extremely hard. He’s a really big piece for us, guarding the best players, getting rebounds. He’s out in transition, hitting tough shots in the fourth quarter.“

“It has kind of been his game. He’s just a guy that leads,” he added.
