Tuesday’s NBA Draft lottery will go a long way towards determining who’ll be the No. 1 overall pick in June’s NBA Draft. For now, one former Kansas star believe it’s an obvious choice.
During an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, the normally soft-spoken Wiggins says he should be the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.
“I always put myself No. 1 above anybody else,” he said.
“That’s just me. I got a lot of confidence in myself.”
Chad Ford of ESPN and DraftExpress.com have the 6-foot-8 Wiggins going No. 1 overall, ahead of Duke’s Jabari Parker and Wiggins’ Kansas teammate Joel Embiid.
“I think for me, Jabari or Joel, I think we all want to go No. 1,” said Wiggins, who averaged 17.1 points and 5.9 rebounds in his only season at Kansas. “But it’s not the end of the world if we don’t because there’s been a lot of great players that ended up to be the best ever, and great Hall of Famers, that never went No. 1 and still had a great career.”
