Or was it the fact that he could play at a great level and still be a sidekick that allowed him to flourish in GS?
Basically is his ceiling not being 'the guy'. But sure, he could have been part of some other playoff team.

I have no clue what clicked in Wiggins. But Self couldn’t get it out of him neither could almost a decade in the league. It’s always been effort and intensity with him and I have no clue what happened to make it work at this point in his career. I couldn’t care less about him being ‘the guy’. He’s long past living up to his draft position. All I’m saying is it’s impressive the turnaround he made and that at this point in his career Kerr deserves a lot of credit for getting it out of him.
But I bet the Celts would have wanted this version of Wiggins. I’d also bet that as impressive as their turnaround was and they deserve a lot of credit for it, I doubt Wiggins would have been this version with that staff.
I’m open to being wrong though. And it’s also possible Wiggins goes back to not giving a ****. 40% of the time in 2023.
