Coach Fip Saunders was noncommittal when asked if Wiggins will open the season as a starter, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Wiggins' role this season remains unclear, and he may not open the season as a starter, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Analysis:

The Wolves shook up their roster this offseason, dealing Kevin Love to the Cavs in a deal that brought Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and Thaddeus Young to Minnesota. At this point, it's difficult to envision Wiggins, one of the most-hyped prospects in recent memory, starting the season on the bench, but it's possible Saunders could opt to go with veteran Kevin Martin as the starting shooting guard and Corey Brewer as the starting small forward. Whether he starts or not, Wiggins should see plenty of playing time as the featured attraction for what figures to be a Timberwolves team that lacks an identity following the departure of Kevin Love.
