Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Posted 15 points off the bench

Wiggins scored 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 20 minutes in Thursday's 102-87 win over the Nuggets.

The Thunder signed Wiggins to a five-year, $47 million contract in the offseason, a huge price tag for a second-unit player. The deal is a sign that the team wants more involvement from the former second-round pick, but achieving that goal will require him to navigate a crowded depth chart. At 6-5, his best chance to break through may be in the backcourt, where Isaiah Joe will have to prove his mettle to stay in the starting five.
