Maryland’s Aaron Wiggins picked No. 55 overall by Oklahoma City Thunder in second round of 2021 NBA draft

Former Maryland guard Aaron Wiggins was selected No. 55 overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round of the 2021 NBA draft early Friday morning.

With the selection, a Terp has been picked in four straight drafts. Five Maryland players have become draft picks since 2018, with former Mount Saint Joseph star Jalen Smith the top selection at No. 10 overall in 2020 by the Phoenix Suns.

After a breakout junior season in which he averaged 14.5 points, playing the best basketball of his college career toward the end of the season as the Terps fought their way into the NCAA tournament, Wiggins announced he would test the draft waters.
