Isaiah Wong breaks down what he will bring to teams in the NBA

Miami guard Isaiah Wong is already a Hurricane legend on the basketball court. Now, it’s time for him to make his mark at the next level, where Wong believes he can come into the NBA and immediately thrive. At a recent press conference where Wong announced his draft decision, he also explained why his experience may give him an advantage a rookie

“I feel like, for me, I offer like a lot of — I’m a 22 year old kid coming into the NBA. So I feel like I got a lot of experience with how college prepared me and just coming off of that. And just, I feel like for me, I’m a playmaker and I can get people involved and I can score, a three-level scorer. And I feel like I played hard with the best of them. So I feel like, just coming in, just play my role and just having the better understanding of the game and just trying to help a team and win as much as possible.”

Wong was certainly a terrific scorer at all three levels while also serving as the primary playmaker for one of the very best teams in the country — and obviously, a squad that also made the Final Four.

After such accomplishments in Coral Gables over the last few years, Wong thought it was finally time to move on. After all, he and his teammates made some March history for The U on the hardwood, and Wong will cherish these ‘Canes teams forever.

“Like I said, it was a hard decision coming to making that decision to either come back or go to the NBA, but I feel like I talked to my family, I talked to the people around me and they thought the best decision for me was to go to the NBA and chase my dreams and all that,” explained Wong. “I feel like I just made history at Miami, I felt like I did a lot for the program and just coming into next year, I just wanted to restart, and try to make another name for myself in the NBA.”

Nothing but the best of luck to the slithery 6-foot-3 combo guard. Isaiah Wong leaves Miami with as impressive a career — and as successful — as practically any player in the history of the program. His shooting and creativity off the dribble could allow him to thrive as a perimeter player in the pros.
