ANDREW WIGGINS IS NO LONGER THE WORST PLAYER IN THE NBA. Wiggins has slowly graduated from tragic to just terrible on defense, and his added playmaking gave him positive value on offense for the first time ever. Wiggins was one of the five worst starters in the NBA each of the past two seasons and the league’s least valuable player a year ago. Now he’s just another bad player, and he’s Golden State’s problem.

The NBA recognizes its greatest players by picking First, Second, and Third Team All-NBA rosters, but why stop there? There are 30 teams and 30 starters at each position. Today we’ll look at the other end of the greatness spectrum, the Wiggins end. Sure, Wiggins is better at basketball than 100.00% of the people reading this, but that’s not the point. Five guys have to be the worst starters in basketball, so let’s find those five guys. They’re the 30th Team All-NBA, the Andrew Wiggins All-Stars.

No rookies allowed. Darius Garland, R.J. Barrett, and Jarrett Culver were pretty rough, but it’s no fun ragging on 19-year-olds, and rookies on bad teams aren’t expected to be good yet. Beyond that, anyone who started at least half their team’s games is available for selection.

Let’s get down to business. Who were the worst five starters in the NBA in the 2019–20…
