A four-star recruit in ESPN's ranking,[3] he committed to Iowa State in October 2016,[4] choosing the Cyclones over schools like Arizona State and Oregon.[5] Representing the World Select Team, Wigginton saw 22:16 minutes of action at the 2017 Nike Hoop Summit, scoring eleven points and handing out a team-high seven assists.[6]
International career
In 2016, Wigginton helped lead Team Canada to a silver medal at the FIBA Americas Under-18 Championship in Valdivia, Chile[7] and played a crucial role in Canada’s run to gold at the 2017 FIBA Under-19 World Cup in Cairo, Egypt, as he averaged 12.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game during the tournament. He missed the quarter and semi final due to concussive symptoms,[8] but was back for the championship game against Italy, scoring eleven points while tallying three rebounds and three assists.[9]
