Kansas Jayhawks’ freshman Andrew Wiggins announced that he was making the leap to the NBA and entering the draft. That means he is looking for representation and he could be eyeing Jay Z and Roc Nation sports.

From Chris Haynes of Comcast Sports:

"According to league sources, Wiggins is in the process of choosing between Hip Hop mogul Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports and one other unknown agency for player representation. Rich Paul, LeBron James’ agent, was rumored to be in the mix but we were informed Paul never recruited the forward."

Wiggins could be headed towards a huge pay day in the endorsement deals as well. Bleacher Report’s Jared Zwerling detailed the race for a Wiggins’ endorsement deal and one shoe company is ready to offer him a sneaker deal worth $180 million, nearly double the deal LeBron James got when he entered the league.
