Following potential 2014 draftees

What if Wiggins dropped out of college, joined the D-League and signed the "reported" shoe deal?

How would everyone feel about him?
 
PKM,

Do you think that a shoe does worth reportedly 180 million over 10 years will ruin Wiggins? Or will he be elite enough to push through and succeed even with money all over the place?

Well first of all everybody would vent their disappointment/hatred against the NCAA. Kansas fans would obviously boo Wiggins.
But Wiggins is too humble to make such a Dwight Coward/LeBron "The Dicision" type of decision to really start negotiating a preliminary agreement with the sports equipment companies and risk being accused by the NCAA. Most companies also want to see how he performs and see the difference in road attendance/TV market share to make sure the money is well invested.

The ONLY knock on Wiggins is he lacks a bit of the alpha male gene. I don't think the money will ruin him at all.. if he falls short it's only because he plays a bit too passively. Having said that, he's a can't miss guy.
 
Quick question for all the draft geeks, and sorry if this has been discussed, but what's the deal with Smart? DX has him as the #5 players and last I checked Nbadraft.net has him at #3. I don't think he'll get picked that high. Where do you guys think he'll get picked? Any chance we can steal him with the GS pick?
