“I couldn’t picture myself in the NBA right after high school and wish I could stay in college longer” (c) Andrew Wiggins
Hours before tonight’s NBA Draft Lottery 2014 presentation, standout freshman sensation Andrew Wiggins was on ESPN to discuss his future. The 19-year-old Canadian freshman is being predicted as the number one overall pick and could potentially end up with the Milwaukee Bucks, who had the league’s worst record last year at only 15 wins.
This year’s draft class also features Jabari Parker, Julius Randle and his fellow Jayhawk alumnus Joel Embiid looking to turn around franchises. In the Sports Center conversation, he opens up about not being focused on the number one pick anymore after gaining experience in college and considers it a label for bad luck. Things continued discussing accolades and the NCAA elephant in the room debate whether athletes should remain more than one year with schools. While Adam Silver already has an age limit raise plan for the future, Wiggins opened up about learning the basics at Kansas to expand his game with proper training.
Check after the jump for more from the potential top draft pick in next month’s draft.
