Joel Embiid said on Tuesday that he is "strongly considering" returning to Kansas for his sophomore season.

"He's a bright young man and he's going to weigh his options," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "He's considering coming back and he's obviously also considering leaving. He can't make a bad decision."

GM: Wiggins Becoming Aggressive, Playing With More Poise

Feb 4, 2014 10:54 AM

Andrew Wiggins has progressed during his freshman season at Kansas.

Wiggins has played great defense and increased his three-point percentage to 37 percent.

"He's playing so much better," one GM said. "He's becoming aggressive. He's playing with more poise. He missed a lot of shots on Saturday, but many of them were good shots that just didn't go down. He's going to have to get better at finishing around the basket in traffic, but lately he's been playing like the Wiggins we knew in high school. I think he's still very much in the running for the No. 1 pick. If I were choosing between him and Embiid, I don't know what I'd do."
