I'm not too selfish or unselfish.
— Andrew Wiggins
As a young guy, you talk to the assistant coach.
I am very confident in my game, whether I'm shooting, driving or creating for my teammates.
We have to have that mindset that whoever comes in our house can't win and it has to be the hardest place to play.
I think I'm a great defender, to be honest.
I'm finding myself. I'm finding things I'm good at, things I need to work at.
We need to come out and assert ourselves on both sides of the court.
We all have to go into the game and play hard, no days off, no possessions off and when we get a little lead don't get comfortable.
You can't be a great player without playing both ends of the floor. And that's what I do - I really focus in, and my athletic ability helps me.
I just want to play for a team that wants me. So whichever team wants me I'll play for.
I've never been on the court and not wanted to play.
KG is Minnesota basketball, he is the Timberwolves - what he did, just the intensity he brought to the game.
I know from watching other players that they have great games by getting to the line and getting to the rim.
Obviously during practice there's a competitive nature if you're on opposite teams.
I want to be the best, no matter who I'm going against.
I always wanted to be the No. 1 pick, but come draft night anything can happen - trades, or anything like that.
I do a lot of things well, I'm very athletic, I play against guys who are also very athletic.
Anybody who has ever watched me knows that I get my teammates involved, that I make them better.
I believe in myself.
It's like when someone dunks... and they scream. It's all part of the game.
I love playing in the spotlight... I feel like that's motivation for everyone.
Minnesota's been good to me.
The game's just slowed down for me a little bit and I'm able to read the defenses and see how they're playing me.
Being a father, I want to give my daughter the world.
Some people look like they're working hard but they're not. Some people who are working hard don't look like it.
My father really put that in my head that defense is one of the key things in basketball.
No one's game's perfect.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. My job is to come out here and hoop, and that's what I'm going to do.
As soon as I stepped foot in Minnesota, I've been shown nothing except love.
That's a thing you most look forward to as a kid. The newest clothes or the newest shoes. Definitely getting the newest shoes and bragging to your friends about it.
You want to win everything you can in practice.
I feel like no one plays the game to be normal, average. Or I don't.
Always dress like you're going somewhere better.
I'm a chill guy, a very normal guy.
I like Kevin Durant's game! Ain't nothing he can't do. Shoot. Has a handle. Plays D. Scores at will.
My teammates trust me to put the ball in the basket when it counts.
It's a tough league and it's hard to play every game.
I love a big stage.
It was kind of good to get my feet wet with my first NBA game. I felt comfortable out there, let the game come to me. I played within myself and I thought I did pretty good.
All we can do is come in here and hoop, play hard, stay competitive and try to win.
When we get comfortable, we start relaxing, taking bad shots, especially me I take bad shots when I'm tired.
I think I bring it every night.
I always wanted to be in the NBA, but I never really thought about being the No. 1 pick until high school. So once it happened, it's like a dream come true and more.
Every coach is different, every coach has different playing styles, but no coach made me have a negative experience playing.
There's not 100 players better than me, so it doesn't matter what people think.
We've always got to fight to the end and never give up no matter what the score is or how much time is left.
I'm pretty comfortable on set. I've done a bunch of these commercials now. You get used to it. The people work with you how you want to be worked with. It's all positive vibes. It's a fun atmosphere, I enjoy it.
I don't take a backseat to nobody. That's just my mindset.
You can never perfect nothing, really, so I need to tighten up my ballhandling, my shooting.
If you're athletic and you can run, you can play defense. It's a mindset.
