Self Not Expecting Wiggins To Put Up Durant, Beasley-Type Numbers

Oct 15, 2013 12:35 PM

Andrew Wiggins will begin his long-anticipated collegiate career next month with Kansas.

Expectations are high for Wiggins but he is more likely to impact the game in many small ways that don't show up in the box score than high scoring players we have seen in the Big 12.

"I don't think he has the mindset to be a natural, Michael Beasley-, Kevin Durant-guy that puts up numbers," said Bill Self. "I don't think that's the way he'll feel he can help the team the most. He's going to have games where he does it. There's going to be some games where he just doesn't feel it. But he's talented enough that he can impact the games just as much when he doesn't feel it because he can do a little bit of everything.

"The thing I'm trying to convince him to do is look to score, be aggressive. And I think his mindset is, I'll be aggressive when I get totally comfortable. Obviously, he's not close to being comfortable."
