Skip Wise

Skip Wise

Skip Wise was an American basketball player.

Wise was a sensation as a high school player at Dunbar High School in Baltimore, Maryland. In 1973 Wise led Dunbar to a victory over DeMatha High School, led by future NBA star Adrian Dantley.

Wise then played at Clemson University and was the first freshman to win first team all-conference honors in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Wise left Clemson after his freshman year, signing with the Baltimore Claws of the American Basketball Association. However, drug use impaired his play, and the Claws folded during preseason exhibition games. Wise then signed with the Golden State Warriors but was cut, with his drug use as a major reason.

During the 1975-76 season Wise played briefly for the San Antonio Spurs.

Wise eventually served prison time for drug-related crimes.
