“What if Wiggins is just, like, not good? I was a cautious Wiggins optimist when analytics folks buried him as a teenaged rookie, but he has shown zero meaningful improvement over four seasons. If anything, he has gotten worse.” – ESPN NBA analyst Zach Lowe
After going from high school phenom, to number-one collegiate recruit, to number-one overall selection in the 2014 NBA draft, Wiggins has long-held the prediction of the best prospect since Lebron James or even Kobe Bryant, but the hype has fallen flat.
Wiggins came to Kansas along with Wayne Selden, Joel Embiid, and Frank Mason in the 2013 recruiting class and was pegged as the sure-fire weapon for the Jayhawks offense.
