6. Aaron Wiggins

The 2021 second-round draft pick is blossoming into an impactful option on both ends of the floor. His minutes have decreased yearly in his three NBA seasons, but Oklahoma City is loaded with talent. Wiggins may not be part of the Thunder’s long-term plans, but the 6’6 wing could be the ultimate sleeper acquisition.

In year three, Wiggins averaged 6.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 15.7 minutes per game while shooting 56.2 percent from the field and 49.2 percent on his 3-point tries. He maintained his role in the playoffs and could expand it in the right situation.

Finding an elite shooting wing whose defensive impact continues to improve is not easy. Wiggins is only 25 and set to make under $2 million in the 2024-25 season before heading into free agency next summer.

Are the Thunder willing to give him a significant raise? If not, Wiggins could be on the trade block this summer and be the perfect addition for the Bucks. He would be their starter on the wing next to Khris Middleton. Aaron Wiggins would space the floor for Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo to attack and could give them a needed perimeter boost on the defensive end.
