“Wykise is a very good young prospect. He possesses the size and physical ability to be an outstanding player going forward. He is a tough, hard-nosed defender that can guard multiple positions on the court. He is an eyes-up player in transition with the ability to pass or finish at the rim. Wykise is an unselfish player. He has the ability to knock down shots off the dribble and off the catch. He rebounds great on the offensive glass gaining extra possessions for his team.” – NC Phenom 150 in 2017
