Byron Keith Wesley[1] (born December 26, 1992) is an American professional basketball player for Bishrelt Metal of The League. He played college basketball for USC and Gonzaga.
As a freshman, he played for his father at Rialto High School in Rialto, CA. As a sophomore, Wesley attended Cajon High School in San Bernardino, California where he played varsity basketball as a sophomore in 2008–09 for the Cowboys and coach Randy Murray.[2] In 2009, Wesley transferred to Etiwanda High School and coach Dave Kleckner in Rancho Cucamonga, California. As a junior playing for the Eagles in 2009–10, he averaged 18.8 points per game, scoring 25 or more points 10 times in leading the team to narrow losses to Mater Dei in the CIF Southern Section 1-AA finals and to Long Beach Poly in the State Southern Regional quarter-finals.[3]
As a senior at Etiwanda in 2010–11, Wesley averaged 19.2 points and was also named to the first-team Best in the West squad by the Long Beach Press-Telegram and was named Baseline Conference MVP for the second consecutive season. He led the Eagles to a 29–4 record, losing to Long Beach Poly in the round of 16 in the California State Championships.[3]
College career
Wesley played three years of college basketball for USC, graduating from the school following the 2013–14 season.[4] As a junior in 2013–14, he averaged a team-high 17.8 points and 6.4 rebounds for a USC team that finished 11–21 overall and 2–16 in Pac-12 play. He subsequently took advantage of the NCAA's graduate transfer rule in which players are able to play their final year of eligibility immediately if they have graduated and want to pursue a degree that isn't offered at their current school. In May 2014, he transferred from USC to Gonzaga for the 2014–15 season.[5][6]
In 2014–15 playing for the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Wesley appeared in 38 games (all starts) and averaged 10.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 26.7 minutes while shooting 51.4 percent from the field. He subsequently earned second-team All-West Coast Conference honors[7] in a season where Gonzaga turned in the best record (35–3) and longest winning streak (22) in program history en route to a top-five national ranking while also leading the nation in field goal percentage.[8]
