ast Wednesday, 135 campers ages six and up the opportunity
up had the opportunity to learn from current and former Kansas basketball stars, including NBA players Ben McLemore and Andrew Wiggins, at the Kansas All-Star camp.
The camp, which took place at the Sports Pavilion Lawrence, marked the first time that Wiggins has been back in Lawrence since making an appearance at Bill Self's basketball camp in 2014.
"It feels great," Wiggins
said. "Especially seeing all the young kids and all the Jayhawk fans at this camp, attending it and having fun."
According to McLemore one of the the primary purposes of the camp was to help the participants learn the game and help them develop their fundamentals.
"I want to do a great job of helping them build their confidence and build the fundamentals of their game," McLemore said.
At the start of this upcoming NBA season, Wiggins will continue his theme of teaming up with former Jayhawks, as Cole Aldrich
and Brandon Rush each signed a free-agent contract during the free-agency period to join Wiggins as members of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
This will be the first time that former Jayhawks have played on the same NBA team since Marcus and Markieff Morris both played for the Phoenix Suns during the 2014-15 season.
"It's wonderful," Wiggins said. "I have more than one Jayhawk on the team now and the best thing about it is that now we get to play at the Sprint Center in the preseason."
