I Wonder What Michael Jordan Thinks of Maple Jordan Andrew Wiggins
There is your answer. His airness Michael Jordan is more worried about beer pong than Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins aka "Maple Jordan" was spectacular last night in his first prime time TV performance vs Duke. Maple Jordan was 9-for-15 from the field while scoring 22 points and grabbing 8 rebounds. Kansas held on to beat Duke 94-83 despite another elite freshman superstar named Jabari Parker going off for Duke with 27 points.
With Wiggins, Parker, Julius Randle of Kentucky, Wayne Selden of Kansas, and Aaron Gordon of Arizona all making huge impacts as freshmen I honestly can't think of a class more exciting than this one in recent basketball history.
Maybe now we will actually pay attention to college basketball before college football is over. This season at least appears worth it. Tons of legit diaper dandies and 5-6 upper echelon programs with shots at the National Title.
