Anybody with eyes and even a passing interest in Kansas University basketball knows this much about one-and-done Jayhawk Andrew Wiggins: the guy can jump.
And while the 6-foot-8 swingman out of Vaughan, Ontairo, isn’t attending the NBA Draft combine in Chicago — [just like other projected top-three picks Joel Embiid and Duke’s Jabari Parker][1] — he made sure to keep his name and skill set on the minds of the league.
On Thursday afternoon, P3, a sports science/training company, posted an Instagram photo of Wiggins testing his vertical — much like he would have been asked to do at the combine.

The pic went viral on social media as stunned hoop heads marveled over Wiggins’ insane athleticism.
Many reposted the photo, while others had some fun with it.

Former Jayhawk Brandon Rush might’ve summed it up perfectly.
Damn Wiggins bounce is crazy
