Wilcox is a great running mate in the front court with Corley, as he’s more of a stretch and mismatch four man that can create spacing and impact the game in a lot of different ways. He is super skilled as a shot maker who has range and is consistent from deep, he is strong enough to post up and finish around the rim, he can work as a ball handler and a playmaker on the perimeter in the half court, and if coaches get a chance to watch him multiple times they’ll see his consistency as well.

Wilcox is a wing that continues to impress with his shot-making ability and confidence. He’s a true scoring threat who can knock down shots off the catch or off the dribble in getting inside. Beyond scoring, he’s shown improvement as a playmaker and decision-maker, making him more than just a scorer.

Wilcox has been one of the most consistent and dominant scorers in the 804 this season.
At 6’6, he blends strength with skill in a way that makes him difficult to guard. He’s comfortable playing inside-out — posting smaller defenders, attacking closeouts, and stepping into perimeter shots with confidence. What separates him is how he handles physicality. He doesn’t shy away from contact; he embraces it.
Wilcox has been a pivotal piece in Atlee’s success, especially in big moments. When games tighten up, he doesn’t disappear. He demands the ball, gets downhill, and finishes through bodies. His length allows him to impact the game defensively as well, and he rebounds his position with toughness.
Heading into the spring, expect his recruitment to climb as coaches get more live evaluations steadily. He’s built for the pace and physicality of travel basketball.
