Andrew Wiggins is already being talked about as the number one pick in the NBA draft and he has not even played a game yet for Kansas and now reports have come out that the young Canadian star has a $180 million Adidas endorsement contract waiting for him when he does return pro.

According to Pro Basketball Talk, the Adidas offer was on the table for possibly 10 years and between $140 and $180 million said sources to Bleacher Report, but reports have come out from the company that the number is false. PBT writes that the a spokesperson from Adidas said that there is a "fraudulent" letter going out about Wiggins and there is no figure that high. Either way, Wiggins is coming into the season with very high expectations and he recently was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Wiggins is already on his way to making history, as he was selected to the Big-12 all-conference preseason team, as he is the first freshman to do so. Kansas has high expectations for this season and fans are expecting Wiggins to be a star.
