despite it not being his best night. The multi-sport athlete recently crossed over the 1,000-point milestone for his career, and tonight he put up a game-high 21 points. He was by far the Barons’ most dangerous offensive threat because of his size, athleticism, and shooting ability. Wilder knocked down three threes in this one, but there was also a clear emphasis on getting him touches close to the basket, especially when the team went through droughts.

Ford is another one of Upward Stars Pee Dee 16U’s wings that I am a fan of. Wilder could be a solid 3 & D guy at the next level with good size, lots of activity, and perimeter shot-making. While shooting is his standout attribute on the offensive end, Wilder is also good on closeouts. He has a good handle and feel for when to finish himself or dump off to an open teammate.

Wilder has really sprouted up in the past year in height growing it least 4-5 inches. Ford plays the game always under control while on the floor. He played very active in the passing lanes and always seemed too busy on both ends of the floor working to get to the ball. Ford can knockdown shots when open on the floor. Wilder looks to be a good piece to the future of basketball for the Barons and Head Coach Rip Ripley moving forward.
