The lead act for Huntington Prep in West Virginia, Andrew Wiggins is the nation's #1 high school player according to maxpreps.com and a few other sources as well. The Canadian born, 6-7, 205 pound senior is a versatile wing player that can create scoring opportunity for himself, post, slash and finish as well as anyone in the nation, supported by great athleticism.Friday Wiggins took the court against Marietta College's junior varsity squad with a chip on his shoulders due to a Sports Illustrated article by Pete Thamel that he had been made aware of that questioned his game, his off court potential, his family and relationships with coaches etc. To make a short story even shorter, Andrew went out and dropped 57 points in response. Though many young men and women overcome odds everyday (which causes me to question the significance of the SI article all together) some chumps take every opportunity to speak destruction every chance they get. The jury is out on Andrew Wiggins as it is on every up and coming player everywhere, from every background but all you can judge him on this far is what he has shown, and on top of his entire high school career, Friday night he added to what we knew..HE CAN PLAY!! Best wishes Andrew!
