Obviously, with both of these rookies being close friends of superstar rapper Drake, these two have attention to fight over. Wiggins surely is just a little bit upset that while he was a better prospect in the NBA than Manziel was in the NFL, Drake shouted out Manziel first on his tribute track, “Draft Day”, using the lyric “Draft day, Johnny Manziel” two whole bars before he got around to saying “Draft day, A. Wiggins”, all the while slighting his Canadian countryman in the process.
Wiggins undoubtedly is going to make sure he ends up as the favorite by settling things the old-fashioned way. While the 6-foot-8, 200-pound Wiggins is the more intimidating of the duo, though, Manziel may have better leverage with his low center of gravity at 5-foot-11 and 210 pounds. But with the strong possibility that Manziel isn’t even comprehending things properly after partying it up all night in Vegas, we’ll hand the decision to Wiggins here.
