A versatile four man, Wiley can guard small forwards and centers. He can score on the block or step out and knock down jump shots and says he is most comfortable in the pick and roll but I can pop as well.
“I feel like I rebound well and I can see the floor pretty well,” he said. “I know when to get the ball to the open man off of my post up.”
Wiley, who is running with MoKan Select 17U this summer, says he is working on adding 3-point range to his game and is working on his ball handling as well.
“I need to become more consistent in knocking down the three ball because I’m undersized,” he said.
Wiley’s MoKan Select squad is off to a 9-0 start this spring and have already won two tournaments and competed this spring in Iowa. He says some of the highlights this spring for the MoKan squad has been a host of dunks.
“We have had a lot of dunks and lobs to our 7 footer from our point guards,” he says.
Wiley currently does not hold any offers, but expects his recruiting to pick up this summer as he competes on a big stage.
He says his father has been the biggest influence on his basketball career.
” At a young age I played on the perimeter and never attempted to post up,” Wiley says. “As I got older and grew my dad developed me into a post player. He showed me a lot of moves that I continue to work on and get better at.”
On the court, Wiley says he enjoys watching Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, and says he looks up to Hakeem Olajuwon.
“The Oklahoma City Thunder is my favorite team,” he said. “For college it would be Buddy Hield and Oklahoma.
“I’ve tried implementing parts of Hakeem Olajuwon’s game into mine. The dream shake, his quick up and under and his baseline spin are all moves that I use on both sides of the basket.”
