Commander in the paint and silent team leader: Austin Wiley is a new powerhouse in Europe

Another impressive season for Austin Wiley, who is slowly emerging as one of the best centers in Europe

Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem is once again among the favorites to win the BKT EuroCup this season, and much of the credit goes to American center Austin Wiley.

The Israeli team is playing excellent basketball, with an impressive 11-2 record, leading Group A of the BKT EuroCup, and it seems likely it will secure a bye directly into the quarterfinals.

Reining EuroCup MVP Jared Harper leads the team with assistance from Cassius Winston, and the core of local Israeli players is doing an excellent job. But, another standout player attracting significant attention is 26-year-old center Austin Wiley.
