Pitino Predicts Kansas Could Have Top Two 2014 Picks In Wiggins, Embiid

Jul 25, 2013 12:46 PM

Rick Pitino cites Joel Embiid as the most impressive recruit he's seen in the Class of 2013.

Embiid committed to Kansas and is joined by Andrew Wiggins.

“I think Kansas could have the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the draft with [Andrew] Wiggins and Embiid. [Embiid] does everything,” Pitino said.

Embiid, a seven-foot center, is projected as the 12th overall pick in the 2014 Mock Draft by Draft Express.

Kentucky had the two top picks in the 2012 NBA Draft in Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
