There is no question that University of Kansas phenom Andrew Wiggins has enough talent to be a star in the NBA. But does Nike see enough to make him a signature athlete?
Wiggins visited Nike Campus earlier this week, and with the sign seen below, this might be a big deal. Nike has gone after young athletes before, LeBron James being a prime example, and look how that worked out. Everyone knows he’s going to be top draft pick, so it might be fitting for Nike to pursue Wiggins, but since there is no definite answer, there could be a lot of debate.
Is Nike pursuing the right guy this draft? Do you think he’s the next signature athlete for the powerhouse brand? Will Wiggins live up to the hype? Share your thoughts down below, and let’s begin this debate.

People are forgetting about jabari Parker! From what ive seen he can outplay wiggens right now. I think if adidas went after jabari, nike and adidas could have quite the young athlete rivalry. but knowing adidas i doubt they will.
Wiggins is better than Parker
lol only in jumping…go read some reviews from coaches. It’s no secret most consider Parker to be able to play out of the box, while wiggy will take some time.
Jabari feels like an adidas guy.
wiggins isn’t a lock to be number one, is he? jabari parker and joel embiid are in there with a shout
