Hello! If you’re looking for a list of the best Andrew Wiggins rookie basketball cards, then you’ve come to the right place.
Andrew played one season of college basketball for the Kansas Jayhawks before entering the NBA draft where he was taken number one overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers and subsequently traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
He had a successful rookie season and ended up taking home the Rookie of the Year award in 2015.

He ended up being a perfect fit for the Warriors' playing style and his defensive prowess and offensive aggressiveness helped lead them to their 4th NBA championship since 2015.
