 Andrew Wiggins on being compared to LeBron James:

“Aw, it’s not fair to even say my name in the same sentence as his. I haven’t even played one game of college ball”

…on what NBA player he compares himself to:

“I like Kevin Durant’s game! Ain’t nothing he can’t do. Shoot. He has a handle. Plays D. Scores at will. Durant, man! Has that killer instinct.”

… on being a team player:

“Anybody who has ever watched me knows that I get my teammates involved, that I make them better. I’m not too selfish or unselfish.”
