Now before we get too ahead of ourselves, we have to wait and see how these men end up playing in real game situations. However, when you see some of the plays the rookies pulled off today while challenging one another in a trick shot challenge, your jaw is certain to drop to the floor.
Let’s begin with No. 1 overall pick, Andrew Wiggins of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although the speculation is that he will end up in a Minnesota Timberwolves uniform by month’s end, let’s see what Wiggins had in store for fans while donning his Cavs jersey today:
