Nike Hoop Summit Scouting Reports: Wing Players - Andrew Wiggins
The youngest player at the Nike Hoop Summit, having just turned 17 two months ago, Andrew Wiggins had an incredible week in Portland, showing he's one of the most talented prospects in the world currently outside the NBA.
Measuring 6-7, with a 6-11 wingspan and a terrific frame for a prospect his age, Wiggins clearly has ideal physical tools for a NBA wing. He's a fluid and explosive athlete on top of that, capable of getting to wherever he wants on the floor with his excellent first step and strong leaping ability.

Grant Traylor: WVSSAC holds key for H Prep, ESPN Rise
The ESPN Rise National High School Invitational wants nationally ranked Huntington Prep in its season-end tournament from March 29-31.
Huntington Prep coach Rob Fulford absolutely wants his team to have the chance to prove that it's one of the nation's best and potentially bring a national title back to West Virginia.
However, none of that will happen without the help of the West Virginia Secondary Schools Athletics Commission (WVSSAC) -- namely executive director Gary Ray -- and time is running extremely short.
"It's a no-brainer that we deserve to be in and they want us in, but they need the WVSSAC to say that we can play West Virginia teams if we want," Fulford said. "It's simple. If they say we can play, we are in. Time is of importance because they have six teams and two open spots. They are holding one for us."

Huntington’s Wiggins, Rathan-Mayes shine in Mountaineer Shootout
For the third year in a row, some of the nation's best high school basketball players made their way to Morgantown to take part in the Mountaineer Showcase.
The tournament, which featured the likes of Oak Hill Academy (Va.) and Christ the King (N.Y.) last year, was headlined by two national powerhouses in Huntington Prep (W.Va.) and the Tilton School (N.H.).
Both teams were loaded with players who will be playing major Division I-A basketball in the next few years, and probably even the NBA, but none were quite as intriguing to watch as Huntington Prep forward Andrew Wiggins.
The sophomore from Toronto is the No. 1 player in the 2014 class according to ESPNU's Terrific 25, and his game has drawn comparisons to LeBron James and Scottie Pippen.

After playing his freshman season in his native country, where he averaged 28 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and two blocks per game, the 16-year-old has taken his talents stateside to play at Huntington Prep (Huntington, W. Va.) and is on a mission to be The Next Big Thing.
