In an interview for ESPN The Magazine's college basketball preview issue, Wiggins was asked what he's enjoyed most since he arrived at Kansas.

"I would say just being able to enjoy my last year of school," Wiggins said.

The 6-foot-8 wing is widely considered a lock to be the top pick in the 2014 draft if he declares.

He was asked his goals for this season.

"Win another championship, a national championship," he said. "Follow in Anthony Bennett's footsteps of going No. 1."

The past four No. 1 picks (Bennett, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving and John Wall) played only one year in college. Blake Griffin, the top pick in 2009, played two years, and Derrick Rose (2008) was one-and-done at Memphis.

So No. 1 is the plan, Wiggins was asked.

"Yeah, if that's possible if I can, yeah," he said.

Really this whole 1 and done thing is a joke to college athletics.

They should allow High Schoolers to jump into the NBA.

And if you go to college for athletics it should be so you can get a free education. College should be a 3-4 year commitment , but high schoolers should be allowed int he nba draft.

Pretty much agree.
Just posted it cause I had nightmares we got the number 1 pick but Wiggins didn't declare.

 

[Chinatown88]

2-0; Yay?!

 

[Schwarbomb]

I have never been more confused in my life. Hinkie has to sell high on any combination of Hawes, Turner, and/or Young before we end up with the 12th pick.

 

[Phileeguy]

No, no, no, Philly sports. Sixers need to lose and the Flyers need to win. Gaaaahhhhh.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

2-0....Well now we're here?

He will, don't worry. There's a reason we didn't extend Turner. Hinkie's got this.

 

[Embiid]

Well so far it's nice to see one team in this town show competitive spirit but yes in order for this rebuild to reap the most benefits they have to secure a top 5 pick.

Imo Hawes is a good person to have if you are aiming for a top pick. he is so soft .

 

[Broad st phantom]

I'll take the wins, we need them somewhere.

 

[brec7]

I remember the Vancouver Grizzlies won their first two games in franchise history. That didn't last. I predict this doesn't either so no need to "worry". At least the 9-73 mark won't be in jeopardy of being challenged.... oh wait, we have that too. (Yes I'm a 76ers fan in spite of being a Habs fan.)

Truth. We've seen this from him before: play surprisingly well for about 6 games and then disappear for 30. That said, if some GM wants to give us a nice asset based on those 6 good games, then I'm all for it.

I think Turner has a shot to put up consistently good numbers in this situation, which will hopefully drive up his trade value. Even though it's only two games it's nice to see him be able to finish at the rim and get to the line a little bit.

Good news: I like the way they're playing

Bad news: I like the way they're playing

 

[sabremike]

Sixers are going to be like the Indians in Major League where the team wins in spite of ownership trying to tank the season!

 

[Embiid]

They should have kept Collins...then the tank would be assured

 

[Broad st phantom]

Sixers having a good game with the bulls, its nice to see them competitive, dunno what the future holds with that though.

 

[Embiid]

Carter Williams another excellent game so far...wow this team is well coached and competitive thus far but Im confused by it still...

 

[Phileeguy]

Sixers just beat the Bulls.

 

[Embiid]

3 and 0....nutz!

 

[Sombastate]

what the hell is going on?

 

[Broad st phantom]

sixers win again... I have to admit, sixers have been great to watch thus far, more so than the flyers.
