Former Colorado guard Derrick White has gained national notoriety as he attempts to complete the journey from lightly recruited Division II guard to NBA draft pick.
But White is not the only player attempting to make that improbable jump into the league next month. Jacob Wiley, a 6-foot-7 forward who worked out for the Nuggets on Monday, has been on an overlooked journey of his own.
Wiley was named the Big Sky Conference player of the year last season after averaging 20.4 points and 9.1 rebounds during his lone season as a grad student at Eastern Washington.
