5 best NBA players EVER from Canada 

Tristan Thompson and Andrew Wiggins

#3 Andrew Wiggins

Golden State Warriors v Minnesota Timberwolves
Andrew Wiggins

No All-Star games and no championships for Andrew Wiggins but still he checks in at No. 3 on this list. He occupies the spot purely on the basis of his individual talent, athleticism and potential to make it big. He is currently the face of the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise along with Karl-Anthony Towns.

Being picked No. 1 overall in the 2015 NBA Draft, made him only the second Canadian to achieve such a feat (Anthony Bennet was first in 2014). His rookie year he averaged 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists en route to earning Rookie of the Year honors.

Wiggins' defense has been ridiculed and taken apart but what he lacks there, he more than makes up for on the other end of the floor. Also, it's not like he's a sloth or just doesn't know how to defend. Expect that part of his game to grow under current head coach Tom Thibodeau.
