The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Kansas star Andrew Wiggins with the first overall pick in the draft. Wiggins, a 6-8 small forward from Canada, averaged 17.4 points per game in his only collegiate season with the Jayhawks. He will instantly be depended on to help carry the Cavs along with superstar guard Kyrie Irving.
Going second overall to the Milwaukee Bucks was Duke phenom Jabari Parker. In his only season at Duke, he averaged 19.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.

#JFSoundoff: I personally would have taken Jabari Parker #1 overall. His numbers were much better, and he has about 40 pounds on Wiggins. Also, I am very excited to kick off this new blog!
