Ontheair By Jon Krawczynski TheAssociatedPress MINNEAPOLIS Dressedin a Navy blue tuxedo with shiny black lapels, Andrew Wiggins certainly looked the part while collecting his NBA rookie of the year award Thursday. He looked even better on the court in his first season in the league. Wiggins became the first Minnesota Timberwolves player to win the rookie of the year, and he did it in a landslide. He received 110 of 130 first-place votes and had 604 points in the voting. Chicago's Nikola Mirotic finished second with 14 first-place votes and 335 points and Phila- delphia's Nerlens Noel was third. "It means a lot to me. I know it means a lot to the organization and there's a whole lot of history," Wig- gins said. "It should bring a lot of hope for the future of the Minnesota Tim- berwolves. It should give people a different look at things. This is the uprising. We've got a lot of young tal- ent." After coming to the Tim- berwolves in the trade that sent Kevin Love to Cleve- land, Wiggins averaged 16.9 points and 4.6 re- bounds while playing all 82 games. Wiggins was drafted No. 1 overall by the Cava- liers last summer and has been a heavily hyped pros- pect since he was a teen- ager growing up in To- ronto. He lived up to that in his first year in the NBA, emerging as the new cen- terpiece of a franchise that has not made the playoffs for 11 straight years. "When I first came here a couple years ago, I met with (owner Glen Taylor) and said the No. 1 thing we had to do to build a fran- chise and develop that cul- ture was to get a game- changing type player," coach and team president Flip Saunders said. "A player that was a two-way type player that could play offense, could play defense. Last year, Aug. 23, when we traded for Andrew Wiggins we got that type of player. And we were ready and set to go." The Timberwolves started the summer in an incredibly difficult posi- tion, with Love wanting to be traded and fans brac- ing for yet another in a seemingly endless line of rebuilding projects. Then something unfamiliar hap- pened — a stroke of luck in their favor. After a good freshman season at Kansas, Wiggins was drafted No. 1 over- all last June by the Cleve- land Cavaliers. Not long af- ter, James decided to leave Miami and return home to Cleveland, setting up a pos- sible pairing with Wiggins. The two shared something in common as super-hyped teenagers and No. 1 picks, but his stay in Cleveland was short-lived. James pushed hard for the Cavaliers to bring in Love, the three-time All- Star and his teammate from the London Olympics. Timberwolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders demanded Wiggins be a part of the package. After some back- and-forth, the Cavaliers relented and sent Wiggins and Anthony Bennett to Minnesota in a three-team deal that netted them Love. After finding his way through the first month of the season, Wiggins took off. As teammate af- ter teammate went down, more responsibility fell on to Wiggins' shoulders. Forced to become a focal point at 19 years old, he re- sponded by becoming more assertive and more aggres- sive on both ends of the court than he ever was in his lone season at Kansas. NBA Timberwolves'Wiggins voted rookie of the year First player in franchise history to win award the game. Brett Lawrie scored from third base on Sam Fuld's single to center that cut the Angels' lead to one. Canha hesitated momentarily on the hit and was only able to advance to third. Angels closer Huston Street then got Marcus Semien to pop out before he retired Davis. Canha said his mistake came from not trusting his instincts. "Off the bat, I read that the ball was going to be down and I second-guessed myself, and you can't play the game that way," Canha said. "You have to trust your instincts, and if I would have just trusted my instincts, went right off my first read, then we tie this ball game up. "It's a team game but ev- erybody has to do their in- dividual parts. And when you're talking about the in- dividual parts, I played an incomplete game, 'cause I kind of blew that and cost us the game." A's manager Bob Melvin said it was a difficult play for Canha to read. "You can't get doubled up on that ball, so I mean they do the right thing," Melvin said of his base runners. "Unfortunately, it's not five feet to the left or a little bit shorter and we get a better jump and score. It's just the way the game played out." It was the third straight series loss for the A's, who were swept by Houston to start what would become a 1-5 homestand to fall to 9-14 this season. "It was an awful homes- tand," Melvin said. "We felt like we could get some mo- mentum, come back home, win some games. But we get swept and lose two out of three here. We've got to play better than that, and we have to do it soon." The A's have now fin- ished the month of April more than two games un- der .500 just three times since 2001, when they be- gan with an 8-17 record. Oakland rebounded to finish with 102 wins that year to earn an American League Wild Card spot, but this year's team seems like it has a host of issues to ad- dress before it can start to turn things around. In the six game home- stand, the A's allowed 35 runs. Coming into Thurs- day, the A's bullpen had a 1-7 record and a 4.37 ERA in 68 innings. The seven losses by relievers are the most in the big leagues, as the A's bullpen has also now allowed two runs or more in nine of the last 14 games. The A's also com- mitted their 21st error of the season on Thursday. Not exactly the way things were supposed to go after the A's went 22-11 in the Cactus League and began the year brimming with optimism. "It's been frustrating, especially the way spring went," said A's starting pitcher Jesse Chavez, who fell to 0-3 this season after he allowed seven hits, three walks and four earned runs in five innings. A's FROM PAGE 1 great man for the Tampa Bay community for my teammates, because it's all for them and it's all for the success of this franchise." While Mariota has been a model citizen, some ques- tioned his having barely taken any snaps behind center in Oregon's quick- tempo attack. But Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt, who has done big things with such veteran quar- terbacks as Ben Roethlis- berger, Kurt Warner and Philip Rivers, clearly isn't concerned. "He's a talented young man who has a very good feel for the position and how to process those things," Whisenhunt said, "and we're excited to get a chance to work with him." Naturally, Mariota isn't worried about the doubt- ers, either. "I believe in my abilities and the hard work that I've put in," he said. "And that's one thing is that I can't control other people's opinions." Tampa has the receivers to help Winston in Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans, both of whom went over 1,000 yards last year de- spite shoddy quarterback- ing. Tennessee can't make the same claim. Each of those teams went 2-14 in 2014, but coaches Smith and Whisenhunt, in their first seasons in charge, survived the awful record. Now, they presum- ably have the main build- ing tool. Winston and Mariota, who each had a year of el- igibility remaining, will meet in the season opener in Tampa Bay. Neither quarterback was in Chicago, choosing to watch — and celebrate — at home with their fam- ilies. It was the sixth time since 1967 that quarter- backs went 1-2, and this was no surprise. It wasn't a surprise to see Washington CB Mar- cus Peters or Missouri DE Shane Ray go in the open- ing round, although both bring questions about per- sonal behavior to the NFL. Peters went 18th to Kan- sas City, Ray 23rd to Den- ver, which traded up.
