Oh I took it to mean that he really wants to play basketball professionally.
Wigginton declaring for NBA Draft, not hiring agent
- Thread starter DSM4Cy
- Start date
I think I saw Garrett was making about $500k in Italy. Not sure on the others.
CW meant that LW has always really wanted to play professionally i believe...but i don’t want ot speak for CW.
LW as much as i’ve Seen in interviews adn read in articles i don’t think has any desire right now to play in Europe...at all. Think it’s safe to say if that is his only option he would return to ISU. Seems like he’s darn set on wanting ot be first Nova Scotian drafted to the league.
But like other’s have said maybe he went to workouts and reality set in. Who knows. Would be really hard decision for sure.
Yeah, agree with a lot of this. I think the big thing for him is to show he has the skills to play point, which then takes care of the problem with his size.
If the NBA is his dream then you stay in the G League imo. Euro money will have to wait.
Once you go to Europe you rarely come back. If you want NBA you have to play g league.
Yepper...a lot people prob don’t realize this. It is rare for NBA to bring someone in from Europe bball when they hvae been playing that brand ball for years..
If he had confirmation from teams that he's guaranteed, he'd have hired an agent and announced he's staying in already.
He'll finish his workouts, if some team gives him good news, he might be gone. But otherwise, he's back.

Maybe not dead last, but teams have had season's am the time with one and done players. Fultz, Simmons, a plethora of UNLV players.
LW made a stretch decision to try for the NBA after 1 year. His skills are unpolished but he does have future potential. Now he seems to be in desperation mode. Past ISU players like Naz Thomas Niang Morris bled Cardinal and Gold and were all-in. LW appears to be all-out. I hope he comes back , but I don’t expect it at all. What he gave us last year is replaceable, but what he should give us this year is not.
The only one out of that group you mentioned that had any realistic shot of being drafted prior to graduating was Morris. Wigginton’s situation is completely different. Saying he’s “all out” for giving it a shot is completely unfair.
Every time I refresh this page, my heart skips a beat or ten. Come on with this decision already!
Are you saying the decision has already been made? Just want to make sure I don't misunderstand the current state of play here....
There is nothing “stretch” about testing where you stand with NBA scouts and teams.
If he goes pro, it doesn't mean he didn't bleed cardinal gold. He has a legit chance to set himself up for life. Every D1 player has NBA aspirations. If he has a chance to actually get there, no logical person could blame him for leaving.
I hope he comes back, but if he doesn't then I wish him nothing but success and will be proud he represented Iowa State.
If anyone knows what it takes for guards to get into the NBA and also get drafted as a guard it is S Prohm. He’s had what 3 guards get drafted? In like 4 years. Not bad. Prohm knows what NBA is looking for and what a player needs to do to get drafted (has a good idea anyway).
These workouts are 1 on 1...2 on 2 and 3 on 3. Shooting drills...etc. I highly doubt given that..any team after one workout with a 6’2 combo guard came away with “wow” we are gonna guarantee u “this”. But that’s my take. If LW leaves he’s probably ok with playing in G league and tryin to work his way up. Hope he makes a decision he’s happy with and can have no regrets. Wish him best either way. Go cyclones!
