And, before you scream it, yes, I know, he hasn't played a game in college yet. And yes, I know, some of you are going to insist he should've had to "earn it" on the court, and blah, blah, blah. But, with all due respect, I think that's a stupid approach because preseason honors aren't really earnable. They are simply educated guesses about what's to come. So in the same way that Kentucky couldn't possibly earn the preseason No. 1 ranking most will bestow upon it, there was no way for Wiggins to earn this.
It's merely a projection.
