Jacob Daniel Wiley (born September 4, 1994) is an American-born naturalized Macedonian professional basketball player for Rytas Vilnius of the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL) and the Basketball Champions League (BCL).

College career

[edit | edit source]

Wiley played college basketball for the Montana Grizzlies, Lewis–Clark State Warriors, and Eastern Washington Eagles. He primarily plays the forward position. During his first and only year at Montana, he averaged a very discouraging 1.0 point and 3.0 minutes per game with Montana, including tying a team-high 5 points in a blowout 81–34 2013 NCAA tournament loss to Syracuse. He also participated in their track team after their NCAA Tournament season was over before leaving Montana after his first basketball practice as a sophomore, to the point where he stopped playing the sport altogether from October 2013 to March 2014. After that point, he started over his basketball career, transferring to Lewis–Clark State in the NAIA. His first year at Lewis–Clark led to Wiley earning All-Conference honors and was named an All-American honorable mention there. During his junior year at Lewis–Clark, he was named a First-Team NAIA All-American and helped the program win its first ever NAIA Tournament Championship. After that, he transferred to Eastern Washington to try and earn a master's degree while also playing basketball. In 2016–17, during his only year at Eastern Washington, Wiley was named the Big Sky Conference Player of the Year after averaging 20.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.8 blocks, and 2.3 assists per game for the Eagles.[1]
