Wake Forest Basketball Player Profile: Mitchell Wilbekin

Swish!

Sophomore guard Mitchell Wilbekin led Wake Forest in 3-point percentage and free throw percentage last season, starting 26 of 29 games, averaging 7.2 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. His season best scoring performance came against Virginia Tech on January 31, scoring 15 points. Wilbekin only reached double figures in 11 games, six of which came in conference play.

Wilbekin came to Wake Forest after originally committing to Danny Manning at Tulsa, and while most fans saw his commitment as a step down from the decommitted, higher-ranked Shelton Mitchell, Mitchell averaged just 4.3 points per game for Vanderbilt in his freshman season, and managed to score in double figures in just two games.
