Andrew Christian Wiggins (born February 23, 1995) is a Canadian professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was the first overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft.

Wiggins played college basketball for the Kansas Jayhawks prior to being drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was the second Canadian to be selected No. 1 overall in the NBA draft. Wiggins earned NBA Rookie of the Year honors for the 2014–15 season while playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves. In February of 2020, after spending his first five and a half seasons with Minnesota, Wiggins was traded to Golden State. He has also been a member of the Canadian national team.

Early life[]

Wiggins was born in Toronto, Ontario[1][2][3] and raised in the nearby Vaughan portion of Thornhill, Ontario.[4][2][5][6][7] He is the son of former NBA player Mitchell Wiggins, an American, and former Olympic track and field sprinter Marita Payne-Wiggins, a Canadian who is originally from Barbados. His parents met as student athletes at Florida State University.[8] He attended elementary school at Glen Shields Public School,[9] and high school at Vaughan Secondary School,[10] both in Vaughan.

Wiggins began playing organized basketball when he was nine, joining an under-10 team in Toronto.[11] At the time, he was 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m). He dunked a basketball for the first time when he was 13, and a year later, he grew to 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) and shattered a glass backboard after dunking on a rim at the Dufferin Clark Community Centre in Vaughan.[11]

High school career[]

Wiggins attended Vaughan Secondary School in Vaughan for his first two years of high school. In his 2010–11 sophomore year, he led the school's AAAA basketball team to a 44–1 record, en route to winning the Ontario provincial championship.[12][13] In the championship game, he scored 25 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, amid chants of "Over-rated!" from the crowd.[13]

In 2011, he transferred to Huntington Prep School in Huntington, West Virginia. During his junior season, he averaged 24.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.7 blocks per game. As a senior, he averaged 23.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, and 2.5 assists per game.[14]

Wiggins had been rated as the top prospect for 2014, but announced in October 2012 that he would officially reclassify into his original high school class of 2013, and was immediately placed ahead of the previous number one prospect, Jabari Parker, by ESPN.[15]

On February 7, 2013, after an article in Sports Illustrated criticized Canadian basketball and Wiggins' work ethic,[16] he responded later that day, scoring 57 points in a 111–59 win over Marietta College.[17]

Wiggins was named the 2013 Naismith Prep Player of the Year on February 25.[18] He was named the 2013 Gatorade National Player of the Year on March 28 as the nation's top high school player.[19] He was the first Canadian player to be so named.[19][20] In May 2013, he was named Mr. Basketball USA.[21] He was ranked number one high school basketball player by SLAM magazine.[22]

In April 2013, Wiggins played in the Jordan Brand Classic All-American game in Brooklyn.[23][24] He scored 19 points and tied Julius Randle for lead scorer for the East team.[23][24]

College career[]

Wiggins playing for Kansas in 2014

Wiggins committed to Kansas on May 14, 2013.[25] Before the announcement, he had narrowed his choices to Florida State, Kentucky, Kansas and North Carolina.[26] Wiggins joined the Kansas team on June 19, 2013.[4]

On January 13, 2014, Wiggins scored 17 points and collected 19 rebounds in a 77–70 victory over Iowa State, becoming only the second freshman in the last 15 years (along with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist) to amass those numbers in a win against a ranked opponent.[27]

Wiggins averaged 17.1 points per game (ppg), 5.9 rebounds per game (rpg), and made 34.1% of his three-pointers in his freshman year at Kansas.[28][29] On January 22, 2014, Wiggins was named a Top 25 Finalist for the John R. Wooden Men's Player of the Year award by the Los Angeles Athletic Club.[30][31] On February 28, he was named one of the 10 semi-finalists for Naismith College Player of the Year.[32]

On March 8, 2014, Wiggins scored 41 points against West Virginia, the most for a Big 12 Conference freshman since Michael Beasley scored 44 points against Baylor in 2008.[33]

Professional career[]

Minnesota Timberwolves (2014–2020)[]

2014–15 season[]

Wiggins declared for the 2014 NBA draft on March 31, 2014.[34] He was selected first overall in the draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers on June 26, 2014,[8] becoming just the second Canadian ever picked number one in the draft, after Anthony Bennett, who had been selected first overall one year prior in the 2013 NBA draft, also by Cleveland.[35] On August 23, a three-team trade was completed involving the Cavaliers, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Philadelphia 76ers. As part of the deal, Wiggins and Bennett were traded to the Wolves, along with Thaddeus Young, then of the Sixers. The Cavaliers received Kevin Love from Minnesota, while the Sixers received Luc Mbah a Moute and Alexey Shved from Minnesota and a 2015 first-round draft pick from Cleveland.[36] Wiggins became just the second player since the ABA–NBA merger to be drafted as the number one pick, only to be traded afterwards without playing a single game for the team he was originally selected for; Chris Webber was the first following the 1993 draft.[37]

At 22 years, 349 days, he became the sixth-youngest player to reach the plateau.[59] By the end of the season, Wiggins finished with a scoring average of 17.7 PPG, his lowest since his rookie year.

2018–19 season[]

On October 24, 2018, Wiggins was inactive for only the second time in his career, sitting out the Timberwolves' loss to the Toronto Raptors because of a bruised right quadriceps.
