ESPN Magazine coverboy Andrew Wiggins is officially confirming what most have long assumed.
When asked what he's enjoyed most since being a member of the Kansas Jayhawks for the magazine's college basketball preview issue, a candid Wiggins, 18, responded "I would say just being able to enjoy my last year of school."
The 6-foot-8 wing son of former NBA veteran Mitchell Wiggins, is widely considered to be top pick in the 2014 draft if he declares as he told the magazine he plans to.
"Win another championship, a national championship," Wiggins described as his top goal, adding that he also looks forward to the prospect of following "in Anthony Bennett's footsteps of going No. 1."
Wiggins would continue a trend among the last four No. 1 picks (Bennett, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving and John Wall), who all played in just one NCAA season before entering the draft. Blake Griffin, the top pick in 2009, played two seasons at Oklahoma, while Derrick Rose was also a one-and-done player at Memphis the year before.
"Yeah, if that's possible, if I can, yeah," the 2013 Naismith Prep Player of the Year told the magazine.
