AUBURN, Ala. - Even though his mom and dad were both basketball stars at Auburn, Austin Wiley's love of the game was slow to develop.

"Years and years ago, Austin was not interested in basketball when most kids his age - 5, 6, 7 - started to become interested in it," says Vickie Orr, Austin's mother. "He just didn't take a liking to it right away.

"Once he got into the sport, there was no turning back."

As Austin grew in size, to 6-foot-11, he also grew in skill, becoming one of the nation's elite prospects.
