For the last two days Wiggins has been hosting a basketball camp for girls at New Haven High School.

"I was thinking about my journey," Wiggins says. "If I can impact these girls' journey just a little bit, its a good thing. You don't just all of a sudden become a WNBA player."

In addition to skills work and imparting some knowledge on the aspiring players, Wiggins also took part in an All-Star game Sunday night at the school. Wiggins' team featured several women's college players, including Notre Dame star Skylar Diggins. Their competition - a men's team made up of former area high school stars, including North Side grad and European pro Vernard Hollins.
