Trying to find current reg. season stats for MW. Anyone know where to find? Wondering if he can shoot the 3 like Duke! They have similar styles.

I don't know his exact stats. High school stats in general are very hard to find, since it takes a lot of work to accumulate accurate stats and constantly update them.

In the Bradley article announcing his signing, it says this about his junior year-
"At the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, Wheeler was named to the All-Greater Houston Area Team, earning a first-team selection after posting 22 PPG, 8 APG, 2 SPG, and shooting nearly 40% from 3-point range during his junior season at Houston Christian.​

Thanks DC! Hoping he can knock down the 3 to have another PG with that capability. We're losing a few good 3-pt shooters next season.
Burch, Atlason, CT, and Ja'Quan are guys who, if returning can hit the 3, and we have this kid named Zobrist who might be able to hit a few!
