Toronto's Andrew Wiggins to Enter Dunk Contest?


Dunk News of the Day:

From seeing some of Wiggins' high school and NCAA dunks, I wouldn't consider him the favourite... even Zach Lavine (Wiggins' Timberwolves teammate) has a more impressive set of dunk clips. Also, he's pretty low-key, and the NBA dunk contest requires a bit more flair to get the fans on your side.

That being said, Wiggins is the current front-runner for Rookie of the Year, and this can only help his profile.

*** NOTE: since this article, 4 other contestants have been confirmed for the dunk contest, and Wiggins is out.  Zach Lavine (Wiggins' Wolves teammate) is my pick -- check out his clips on YouTube etc. to see why!
