University of Kansas Men's Basketball Top of the Class: Wiggins First, Embiid Third in NBA Draft
"It means a lot to our program," Kansas head coach Bill Self said. "I wasn't surprised about Wiggins, but I was pleasantly surprised for Joel and I'm proud of them both.

But I would've been just as proud of (Andrew) if he had gone No. 2."
