Francois Wise is a retired American basketball player. He played four years for the varsity 49ers at Long Beach State in California. He was picked by the Washington Bullets on the fourth round of the 1980 NBA Draft and was the 81st selection overall. [1] Wise survived the Bullets rookie tryout and made the club's final 22-man roster. He was waived two weeks before the campaign started.

Wise performed in several summer leagues prior to reporting at the Bullets tryouts camp. He was listed in the 13-man lineup of coach Nate Lewis in the eight team San Francisco summer pro basketball league competitions held at Potrero Recreational Center from June 23-August 14, 1980. Wise also played for the Lakers quintet in the Joe Weakley's Run, Shoot and Dunk recreational league that summer and performed in the league's all-star game, joining such stars as Larry Pounds, Kenny Tyler, Bulls rookie James Wilkes, Reggie Theus, Freeman Williams and Michael Cooper. His elder brother is Willie Wise, who played seven years in the defunct American Basketball Association and two seasons in the NBA.

He had an overseas stint, mostly playing in the Philippines for the Philippine Basketball Association from 1981-1983, and again in 1985 and 1987. [2]
