A bad look nevertheless.Indeed. It was one of the biggest black marks I had against Wiggins, back in the day. If he thought he was close enough, he was ferocious. But if the distance was one cm past where he thought he could make it, he didn't try. All players do it to some extent, but some guys never seem to give up, their 'radius of attempt', if you will, is just bigger than others. Stephen Silvagni was one of those. He would go for it at distances that others wouldn't, and he would get there more often than not. It made him what he was.
