5 shooting guards to watch in 2021 NBA Draft: Aaron Wiggins
No not Andrew Wiggins, Aaron Wiggins is the next prospect to be evaluated. Aaron Wiggins played three seasons at Maryland and showed steady improvement over those three seasons. He’s also the only clear cut second round pick in this article.
Wiggins has good size at the off guard position at 6-foot-6, so he can develop into a solid NBA defender. He’s also a really good rebounder at his position as well. At 22 years old, Wiggins doesn’t have too much room to develop much more, thus him being a second round pick. On top of that his offseason can be shakey at times.
That being written, he can be developed into a solid 3-and-D wing. This past season, he averaged 14.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.1 steals, while shooting 44.6 percent from the floor and 35.6 percent from downtown.
Kline doesn’t have Wiggins in his mock draft, which is only a first round mock and Tankathon has Wiggins being picked by the Toronto Raptors with the 45th pick. Considering that the Philadelphia 76ers own the 50th pick, it’s possible that Wiggins will be in play when the Sixers are on the clock in the second round.
