Scores 14 off bench Wesley posted 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and a steal across 23 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win over Cheminade.
Impact Wesley has now scored in double digits in two of his four appearances off the bench, though he hasn't come anywhere close to repeating the 21-point output he delivered in the season opener. While he can be a decent scoring asset, the lack of minutes and consistency conspire against his upside.

Impressive in season debut Wesley notched 21 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), one rebound and one assist in 24 minutes during Saturday's 68-52 victory over CSUN.
Impact Wesley couldn't have asked for a better start to his college career, as he was sharp from the field and led all scorers in a big win for the Fighting Irish. While he's not likely to surpass the 20-point mark on a regular basis, don't be surprised if he ends up as Notre Dame's leading scorer more often than not.
