Nearly 80 NBA personnel are expected to watch diaper dandies
Andrew Wiggins, Julius Randle and
Jabari Parker in the Champions Classic on Tuesday night in Chicago.
Media coordinator Charley Green told SNY.tv that 73 NBA credentials have been issued, and that doesn’t include the Chicago Bulls who don’t have to go through Green because the United Center is their home arena.
“Probably around 80 scouts in total. This thing blew up after Wiggins committed,” Green told SNY.tv.
Five of the top 10 picks in the 2014 NBA Draft according to
DraftExpress.com are slated to play in the event that matches No. 1 Kentucky against No. 2 Michigan State and No. 4 Duke against No. 5 Kansas.
Wiggins is projected at No. 1, Randle at No. 2, Kansas freshman center
