Wesley Iwundu’s biography, net worth, fact, career, awards and life story

Wesley Deshawn Iwundu (born December 20, 1994) is an American basketball player. He played college basketball for Kansas State University.

Iwundu was recruited by coach Bruce Weber to Kansas State out of Westfield High School in Houston. He would go on to be a starter from the beginning, breaking the Wildcats’ career record for games started with 124. He came in as a part of a heralded 5-man 2013 recruiting class, but ultimately was the only player who stayed at K-State past two seasons. His perseverance paid off, as he was named third-team All-Big 12 Conference in both his junior and senior seasons. For his senior season, Iwundu averaged 13.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

Following the closure of his college career, Iwundu was invited to the 2017 NBA Draft Combine. Throughout the draft, Iwundu was consistently projected to be taken somewhere in the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft. At the night of the draft, Iwundu was taken by the Orlando Magic with the 33rd pick, thus becoming the first Kansas State player to be taken in an NBA Draft since Michael Beasley and Bill Walker back in 2008.
