Andrew Wiggins declares for NBA draft

Posted Mar 31, 2014
Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins announced his plans to declare for the NBA draft on Monday, ending his short year with the Jayhawks and following the expected one-and-done path to the league. Wiggins is a projected lottery pick and could be the top overall choice based on his upside. Fellow Kansas freshman Wayne Selden Jr. has already announced he will return to school. Freshman center Joel Embiid, who also has a chance to be the top overall pick, has yet to announce his plans. (USA Today)
