Wise on his commitment to Georgia
Justin Wise went in-depth on his decision to commit to Georgia with Rivals.
“I decided to commit to Georgia because it is like a home to me and I’m very familiar with the area and the coaching staff. I also grew up watching some UGA games so it feels like a dream come true.
“I trust in Coach White and the rest of the staff from a basketball side and also a family side as well. They are great coaches and led UGA to the tournament the last two years and I think there more coming from Coach White and the staff.”
In his own words, what type of player is Georgia getting in Wise?
“I would describe my play style as a do-it-all guard who can play the point and shooting guard and also guard exceptionally well on the other end.”
He has a message for UGA fans.
“Athens is the best college town in America and we are gonna have Stegeman Coliseum ROCKING. Georgia is a scary place to play at in the years to come. Go Dawgs! ”
More on Wise
While playing with Jet Academy on the Nike EYBL Circuit, Wise averaged 11.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting nearly 36% from three-point range.
He was also one of the top performers at the NBPA Top-100 Camp this summer, according to Rivals national recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw, who had the following to say about his game:
“Justin Wise moved seamlessly between the one and two in this setting. He shot the ball very well off the catch, and that might be his superpower at the next level. However, he advanced the ball well when pushing and moved it to open teammates in the half-court. A low-maintenance guy who raises the floor of his team.”
“He looked very comfortable in this setting as a go-to scorer. The 6-foot-4 guard showed he can play on ball as a primary initiator, but on Thursday at the NBPA Top 100 Camp he self-created advantages and finished plays at multiple levels. He had 18 points on 6-11 shooting in his first game.”
