Who is Joe Wylie?
Joseph Jay Wylie, Sr., is a retired professional basketball player. He is listed at 6'9" and weighed 220 lbs. Wylie played collegiate ball with the University of Miami Hurricanes. He entered the 1991 NBA Draft and was picked 38th in the second round by the Los Angeles Clippers. On July 4, 1991, almost a week after the draft, the Clippers traded him to the New York Knicks for a 1993 second round pick. The Knicks were enthusiastic of getting such a player of his calibre; unfortunately, that soon faded during training camp and Wylie was not signed to a contract. In 1992, Wylie was invited to the Minnesota Timberwolves training camp but he was eventually cut from the roster during the preseason. He played his professional basketball career mostly overseas in Italy, Spain, Mexico, France, Puerto Rico, Turkey, Argentina, Israel, Portugal, the Philippines, Germany, Russia and Hungary. He also played in CBA with the Columbus Horizon, Quad City Thunder and Rapid City Thrillers. He retired in 2005. Wylie has a son, Joseph Dunn Wylie, Jr., who played collegiate football at his alma mater but later transferred to Tennessee State University.
