Overview
Wilson is well beyond his years on and off the court. He has the work ethic demonstrated by many players coming out of the basketball program at International Academy. As a player, he is strong going to the basket and quicker than at first glance. He can take contact and finish. His outside shot has improved exponentially since the start of the 2007-2008 season. Wilson takes pride in physical fitness and hard-nosed perimeter defense.
