Newman’s 2014 NBA Draft Lottery Big Board 1.0

Number 3

Andrew Wiggins – Freshman

Before college basketball kicked off this year Andrew Wiggins was thought to be a lock for the number 1 pick in the draft in June.  His athletic ability is crazy and when you get this guy in the open floor there’s no stopping him.  His upside was thought to be so high that teams would no way be able to pass on this guy and he had the potential to be the best player to come into the league in years.  Wiggins has not been as dominate at the college level as most scouts thought he would be.  At times Wiggins is passive and doesn’t assert himself as much as NBA teams would like.  His upside is still pretty high and he recently posted a 17 point 19 rebound performance against Iowa State.  Wiggins is a lock for a top five pick in the draft.
