After not showing dramatic improvement as a UCLA sophomore, Wilkes went undrafted in the 2019 NBA draft. He was expected to sign a two-way contract with the New York Knicks after general manager Scott Perry talked about him while introducing their 2019 draft picks. However, Wilkes was unable to play in the 2019 NBA Summer League due to a severe, undisclosed illness, and the Knicks signed Ivan Rabb with their remaining two-way slot.

In the 2018–19 season opener, Wilkes scored 27 points and added 10 rebounds in a 96–71 win over Purdue Fort Wayne. On December 8, 2018, he made a game- winning three-pointer with 0.9 seconds remaining in a 65–62 win over Notre Dame.

He finished the season as the Bruins leading scoring (17.4), and was named second-team All-Pac-12. While his scoring increased by almost four points per game from his freshman year, his field goal percentage dropped from 44.1 to 43.3.
