His RAPM stats bear that out but you don’t need the metrics to figure that out. His “gravity” is pretty apparent on the court cause he’s a threat to score from anywhere. There was a time in his prime where Draymond was just as important.
To be clear I like Wiggins, he's a very good player, but he's not a guy that can take over when Steph is out. Klay so far is simply not good enough to do it. Poole is doing his part to cover some of Curry being out, and Draymond coming back is helping the defense, but they desperately need Wiggins to step up and he's not doing it. Last 10 games under 15PPG, 38% overall 30 from 3. He's still a very good defender, glad we have him, but you can see without Curry it's just much harder for Wiggins to get the looks he was getting earlier in the year.
Even having a down year for him, this season is proving how good Curry is, without him this team is just not very good.
