The Cleveland Cavaliers made Canadian Andrew Wiggins, a University of Kansas standout, the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft on Thursday, launching a great night for Canada and international players.
Four of the first eight players selected came from outside the United States.
The 19-year-old Wiggins is an athletic, 203-cm guard with great leaping ability who averaged 17.1 points and 5.9 rebounds last season as a freshman.
