Aaron Wiggins is certainly no secret among Oklahoma City fans, but the rest of the NBA is certainly still learning.

The Thunder’s Swiss Army knife has been a game-changer for Oklahoma City all season and has finally carved out a consistent role for himself. Over the last few seasons, it was clear that Wiggins was different, even as the losses continued to pile up. The Thunder had found another hidden gem.

Last season, he really refined his game and improved in all the areas Oklahoma City needed him to. He developed into an excellent shooter and forced defenses to respect his play on the perimeter. He excelled in transition and also showed his value as a slasher. The more chemistry he develops with the Thunder’s core, the more valuable he will become as a player.

On Saturday, Bleacher Report listed each team’s best-kept secret, and it’s no surprise that Oklahoma City’s Aaron Wiggins was one of them. He’s a hidden gem for the average NBA fan, but Thunder fans now know all too well what he has to offer.

“Just to be clear, when Wiggins went from being a total non-shooter to the league’s most accurate player (at least 100 three-point attempts) last season, he played… less,” Grant Hughes wrote. “It must be because he’s a terrible defender who allows so much that his outstanding shooting doesn’t make up the difference. Sorry, what’s this about? He had a 95 percent steal rate and was rated positive by D-EPM last season?

“That settles the matter. Wiggins is one of the best rotation guards that nobody knows about.”

Hughes is right. And Oklahoma City knows it.

Last season, he averaged 6.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in just under 16 minutes a night. His efficiency was unmatched, as he shot 56.2% from the field and 49.2% from behind the 3-point line. He developed into a connector on offense and a reliable defender.

He was also rewarded with a five-year, $45 million contract extension in the offseason. As Oklahoma City continues to grow, so will Wiggins. He’ll have a chance to shine on the biggest stage in the next few years, and maybe then he’ll no longer be a secret.
