Andrew Wiggins could windmill dunk in 8th grade, was nicknamed 'Junior Jordan'

Andrew Wiggins is athletically gifted; that's safe to say. The first overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft is coming into his own as a perimeter player for the Minnesota Timberwolves, and he is the early favorite to take home the Rookie of the Year award.

Wiggins' professional play is beginning to match the hype that has followed him since high school. Considering that Wiggins could windmill dunk in 8th grade (!!!), the hype makes some sense.

That's right, according to Wiggins' recently-surfaced 8th grade yearbook photo, the multi-faceted forward could throw down a windmill as a fresh-faced 14 year old.

Under most memorable moment, Wiggins wrote: "Doing a windmill dunk for the first time, setting a record for track at Regionals, and meeting all of my friends."

What a guy.  

A couple other interesting tidbits from Wiggins' yearbook photo:

His dream job was being an NBA player; always cool to see someone realize their dreams. Also, his nickname was Junior Jordan; dude has had expectations for quite a while.

So far, he's living up to them.
