Former UCLA wing with pro-size scoring upside and polished two-way tools
Wilkes was a high-end UCLA prospect who arrived as the No. 26 national recruit and delivered immediately as a freshman, averaging 13.7 points and 4.9 rebounds while shooting 35.2% from three before reaching 1,000 career points as a sophomore. His biggest differentiators are his size for a wing, smooth scoring touch, and ability to create offense without needing a heavy usage load; the tradeoff is that his college shooting efficiency was still a work in progress and he eventually left UCLA for the pro path. He fits teams that want length, scoring versatility, and upside rather than a finished product.
