The Cleveland Cavaliers' newest addition, Andrew Wiggins, is a good kid. But he was in the wrong place at the wrong time last weekend when he and rapper Juicy J were present at a nightclub stabbing in Toronto. While neither is a suspect in the incident, they were questioned by police. Wiggins, the son of former NBA player Mitchell Wiggins, is expected to succeed where his father never did. The elder Wiggins' career was cut short by cocaine abuse in the 80's. But the rookie, who was drafted number one by the Cavs, is much better behaved than his old man.
Wiggins and Juicy J were at Time, a nightclub in Toronto last weekend when two people got stabbed. Wiggins and Juicy were not suspects, though they were questioned (via TMZ):
"Cops raced to the scene ... and we're told they interviewed several people in the hopes of getting a description of the suspect -- including 19-year-old Wiggins and Juicy J.
"Law enforcement tells us ... the victims took themselves to the hospital for treatment (and will be OK) ... but were not cooperative with police."
Andrew isn't usually at the center of controversy. His father taught him the perils of hard living. The former Houston Rockets forward squandered his NBA career and feels like he is getting a second chance, living vicariously through his son.
Mitchell taught his son the value of hard work and determination, traits that will serve him well in the NBA (via ESPN):
"'He walks his walk and he's always been a kid who listens and tries to do the right thing,' Mitchell Wiggins said. 'I hope he stays true to who he is and stays grounded. He wants to be a Hall of Famer. Hall of Famers work harder than anyone else and make the most sacrifice. I think he's willing to do that.'"
