It is pretty easy to understand the hype around Andrew Wiggins after watching the recent ESPN Sports Science clip on him (below).
The video shows that Wiggins has a stride length of 8.0 feet - a full foot longer than that of Kevin Durant, despite being several inches shorter than KD. Wiggins can get from the three-point line to the basket in two steps!
The Sports Science clip also shows that Wiggins' speed can top 20 miles per hour; a speed on par with the NBA's quickest point guard, Chris Paul.
Wiggins has a reported 40+ inch vertical leap, and can get his hands on balls that are over 12 feet in the air! Dude can jump out of the gym.
After watching the video, it is easy to see why this kid has been projected to go first overall in the 2014 Draft, and why there has been so much hype around him. Dude is drool-worthy. I've wanted to see the Sixers select Wiggins this summer all along, and the ability displayed in the Sports Science video only further solidify that desire.
If the Sixers can secure Wiggins this summer, it might just make this long, struggle of a season worthwhile.
