Andrew Wiggins was named NBA Rookie of the Year on Thursday and he hopes to remain with the Minnesota Timberwolves for many years to come.

The Wolves have had difficulty building a consistent winner around past superstars such as Kevin Garnett and Kevin Love.

"I hope I'm here forever," said Wiggins.

"I don’t believe there’s any curse or nothing like that. We just needed the right pieces. I feel like now we’ve got them."
