     So I really don’t pay much attention to HS basketball anymore, I know a few names such as Aquille Carr, Pewee Gardner,Shabazz Muhammad,Nerlens Noel,Jabari Parker and a few more.

    So I see Andrew Wiggins name everywhere recently and I’m like he’s a senior why haven’t I heard more of him……found out he’s only in the 10th! This dude is a BEAST, he is soooooo advanced for an 10th grader, he’s really good, if he keeps improving he will def be in contention for #1 pick after his freshman year.

    Am I the only one that’s late on this fella?

    Good player but some of the advancement would be the fact that he’s already 17 and will be 18 while he’s still a JR

    LOL, part of the reason this kid is so well known is because he’s Canadian and comes from a very athletic family. He’s been a youtube sensation since he was 14 and people have been talking about him on these boards for a few years. He’s a very good prospect no doubt, although I rate Jabari Parker a notch higher, but part of the reason he gets so much attention is because he’s like the Canadian Lebron James (an absolute phenom) and somewhat surprisingly there’s alot of Canadians on this board.

     Will he be able to leave for the NBA after his senior year of high school? He’s gonna be 19 by then and he is from Canada after all. Seems like there’s a potential loophole for draft entry I figure?

    ^He will be eligible for the 2014 draft as long as he has lived in Canada for three years before the draft, and did not play high school ball in the US, so since he goes to Huntigton Prep, he won’t be able to go until 2015.

    aamir, im not sure if thats true. there was a lot of talk about andre drummond doing a post graduate year and then going straight to the nba. i think if hes 19 he can declare. could be wrong but i dont think you have to be international.

    You have to be one year removed from you’re graduating class. If he reclassifys yes but if he stays in his class he has to wait a year. By the time he is a sr I suspe t there will be a two and done rule. The NBA will be discussing this during the off season
