Quick, scrappy Blue Raiders guard with playmaking roots
In the 2001-02 season, Jermale Wilkerson was a 5-10 sophomore guard for Middle Tennessee who came in with a proven distributor’s résumé, having averaged 12 points and 7 assists in high school and earned all-state and region player of the year honors. His fit is about pace, toughness, and ball security rather than headline size—he looks like a compact guard who can organize an offense and compete with edge. The caution flag is obvious: at 160 pounds, he’s undersized, so teams valuing physical defense and shot creation may need a specific role for him.
