Isaiah Wilkerson

Isaiah Jamal Wilkerson (born November 13, 1990) is an American former professional basketball player. He finished his U.S. collegiate career in 2011–12 as the Great West Conference Player of the Year. He became the first player from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to win the player of the year award and only the third overall winner in Great West history.

College career Wilkerson did not enroll at NJIT immediately to play for the Highlanders. It was not until the second semester that he became a student, so his first career game on December 20, 2008, came without the benefit of having a single practice yet with the team.

For his career, Wilkerson scored 1,577 points and grabbed 616 rebounds; the rebounding total is the NJIT program record for their Division I era. His point total had been NJIT's all-time scoring mark in the Division I era at the time of his graduation, but the following season, former teammate Chris Flores surpassed him as the school's all-time leading scorer.

Professional career Wilkerson went undrafted in the 2012 NBA draft. On November 2, 2012, Wilkerson was selected by the Tulsa 66ers in the eighth round of the 2012 NBA D-League draft. On January 18, 2013, he was waived by the 66ers, before he was reacquired a week later. On November 1, 2013, Wilkerson was reacquired by the 66ers.

In September 2014, Wilkerson signed with Titánicos de León of Mexico for the 2014–15 season.

In 2019, Wilkerson joined the Dorados de Chiahuahua and averaged 13.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Wilkerson played for the Centauros de Chihuahua of the Liga de Básquetbol Estatal de Chihuahua during the 2019–20 season. He returned to Dorados on July 29, 2020.
