Andrew Wiggins puts himself as the number 1 pick in upcoming draft

Former Jayhawk standout Andrew Wiggins is not short on confidence, that's for sure.

In a loaded draft chalked full of projected generational talents, Wiggins has himself pegged at number one in an interview with Adam Zagoria of SNY.tv:

"I always put myself No. 1 above anybody else. That's just me. I got a lot of confidence in myself."

However, Wiggins did acknowledge his main competitors for the top draft selection, naming former Kentucky teammate Joel Embiid and Duke's Jabari Parker:

I think for me, Jabari or Joel, I think we all want to go No. 1. But it’s not the end of the world if we don’t because there’s been a lot of great players that ended up to be the best ever, and great Hall of Famers, that never went No. 1 and still had a great career

The NBA draft will take place on June 26th. According to just about every report on the subject, Wiggins will go no lower than third.
