There has been a lot of talk and speculation about Andrew Wiggins of the Golden State Warriors this season.
There has also been a lot of conversation around Damian Lillard of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Earlier this week, Lillard was selected as an All-Star starter for the first time in his career.
As noted by StatMuse, that means that Wiggins and Lillard have the exact same number of All-Star starter selections.

Wiggins earned his starting spot back in 2021-22.
It was the first and only time he was chosen as a starter for the annual event.
That was in the midst of a strong run for the Warriors, just months before they earned their latest championship win, which was also a first for Wiggins.
Since then, his career has experienced a lot of changes.
He did fairly well last season, although he only played in 37 games because of personal reasons.
This season, he is only putting up 12 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists.
He has started in 27 of 38 games and has only played for a career-low 26.5 minutes per game.
Meanwhile, Lillard has been seeing his own fair share of changes, moving from the Portland Trail Blazers to the Bucks after years of the Blazers falling short again and again.
Because of Wiggins’ weak output, many people are thinking that he could be ending his time with the Warriors soon.
It’s not entirely clear where he will play if he does depart Golden State because his trade value has dropped over the last few months.
Wiggins won’t be at the All-Star Game this year and there is a chance that he won’t be with the Warriors much longer.
What is in the next chapter of his career?
