Wichita State’s Nick Wiggins aims for more than offense

[1979Shocker]

Andrew Wiggins is the talk of the basketball world. Sports Illustrated cover boy whose journey to the NBA includes a brief stopover in Lawrence, where he’ll play for Kansas this season.

Meanwhile, in Wichita, older brother Nick is intent on staying out of Gregg Marshall’s doghouse.

You won’t find a more pleasant guy than Nick Wiggins. And you might have to look hard to find someone who shoots the basketball better.

But as he’ll tell you, adapting to Marshall’s style of basketball, in which shooters are great but only if they do the other, less-glamorous jobs, is not easy.

Some do better than others. Wiggins, though, found the transition from junior college to Division I almost too much.

Actually with the rule changes, it should favor Nick more.

Possibly - but the rule changes may also make good defense more of a challenge - esp as it requires more focus on footwork. It will be interesting to see how things play out.

Hopefully Nick has a stellar year though.

My dream for this season is that we meet up with that school from up north in an Elite 8 game and Nick hits the game winning shot to send his over-hyped brother off to the NBA while he plays in his second straight Final Four!!

That was an odd article. After all of that, it ended with Ron's opinion of Andrew. Weird.
