LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins made official Monday what hes been telling folks all along: Hes headed to the NBA after his only season with the Jayhawks. The 6-foot-8 forward, who was voted second-team All-America earlier in the day, is expected to go in the top three picks in the June draft. Many believe he could go first overall. "It wasnt an easy decision because the fans showed me so much love here," said Wiggins, choking up briefly during a news conference at Allen Fieldhouse. "I just wish I had more time. College goes by so fast. I can see why people stay all four years." The Canadian was the top-rated recruit when he arrived at Kansas, and his brief career was a bit of a roller coaster. He struggled early in the season, caught fire midway through, and then flamed out when it mattered most in an NCAA tournament loss to Stanford. Wiggins, from Vaughan, Ont., only scored four points on 1-for-6 shooting in the third-round defeat. Afterward, he said despondently that he let his team down with his poor performance. That ultimately didnt have any bearing on his decision, though. He announced he was going pro while joined by Kansas coach Bill Self, his parents -- former NBA player Mitchell Wiggins and Olympic silver medallist Marita Payne Wiggins -- his older brother Mitchell Jr., and several of his teammates, including fellow freshmen Wayne Selden and Joel Embiid. Selden has already announced hes returning for his sophomore season. Embiid has not made a decision, even though hes also expected to be a top-five pick in the draft. Wiggins certainly had a historic season at Kansas. He averaged a freshman-record 17.1 points and nearly six rebounds per game, and was voted the APs Big 12 freshman of the year and first-team all-conference. "Obviously this announcement needed to happen," said Self, who believes one of the biggest challenges Wiggins will face is realizing that basketball will suddenly become his job. "Its not like this year. He came in with so much hype, and whether he knew it or not, everybody was salivating for a chance to go against a guy with that much hype," Self said. "And hes going to the next level with a lot of hype, but men are going to be saying, Whoa, whoa, whoa, rook. Ive been doing this a long time and youre going to have to earn your way." Wiggins simply flashed a smile when asked if he was ready for it. "Just listening to him now," his father said, "Im thinking about when he was that little bitty kid that was dirty, and not listening, and now? Hes a young man that I think gets it. I think hes going to do very well." Hes also made it through his freshman season healthy. Unlike Embiid, Wiggins never had to deal with any nagging injuries, and his mother said that factored into his decision. "The best thing is hes not injured. Hes able to go ahead and complete part of his goals," she said. "Every day is a new day. He has no injuries and hes ready to go." Self said Embiid is still wrestling with his stay-or-go decision. The 7-footer from Cameroon was waylaid late in the season by a stress fracture in his back, and that could factor into Embiids draft status, along with the fact that hes only been playing basketball for a few years. Embiid slipped out of the room immediately after Wiggins had finished speaking Monday, but Self told a few reporters that he had not made his decision, despite a report last week that said Embiid would enter the draft. "That doesnt mean he couldnt still do that, but that was gun-jumping," Self said. "It certainly upset him, because somebody that was a source obviously didnt have good information." Self doesnt expect Embiid to make his intentions known anytime soon. "The decision he needs to make is whats best for him," Self said, "whether to stay another year or to go, and I could see him do either one of them. And I think you could make a case that either one would be a good decision. Hes not quite like Andrew whos been playing the game his whole life. Hes only been playing three years. Hes still trying to figure it out." Adidas Ultra Boost Clearance Sale . The 49ers announced the deal Thursday.

Craigs rankings represent his own individual assessment of where players are slotted in the NHL draft. Leading up to the 2013 NHL Draft, scouts were flocking to watch the Halifax Mooseheads. Rightfully so, as two of the very best players available for that draft, Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin, were tearing it up and making every scout’s trek a worthwhile one. The lead up to the 2015 draft will see scouts making treks to two places to watch very different players, which will be essential for gauging how the draft will ultimately unfold. Erie, Pennsylvania has a long hockey history but one thing is certain, there has never been a star of the magnitude of Connor McDavid lacing them up for the hometown team. A trip to Erie will also afford the opportunity to watch another top prospect for the draft in Dylan Strome. Brother Ryan was the fifth overall selection to the New York Islanders in 2011 and Dylan could do one maybe two better than that. Approximately 550 miles to the East of Erie is Boston, Massachusetts. It’s a direct route on US Interstate I-90 with many service areas to fuel up along the way. Two Massachusetts natives will be the focal point of attention when scouts visit Boston. Jack Eichel, a native of North Chelmsford, may be the new ‘Can’t miss kid’ at Boston University, while Bobby Carpenter is the ‘old’ one. While Jack is taking on Connor for the honor of being selected first overall, defenceman Noah Hanifin at Boston College will be closely watched. A native of Norwood, he fast tracked his high school requirements to enroll at Boston College as a seventeen year old. A smooth, make-it-look-easy defenceman with high end skills, there is some thought that he deserves discussion, even token, about being in the class of McDavid and Eichel. One thing is certain during the coming season. Every trip to Erie or to Boston, will afford scouts the opportunity to see two excellent prospects and create ‘economies of scale’ in the scouting fraternity. 1.
