LAS VEGAS — Jacob Wiley couldn’t have seen this coming.
Not six years ago, when he was a confused, hurting teen who had just found his alcoholic father dead.
Not three years ago, when he was scrubbing dishes in a retirement home to make ends meet.
Heck, not even less than a year ago, when he arrived at Eastern Washington with no scholarship and no guarantees.
Back then, pro basketball wasn’t even a dream. But here is Wiley, an undrafted 6-foot-8, 213-pound forward, playing in the Las Vegas Summer League and fighting for a spot with the Nets.
