Isaiah Jamal Briscoe (born April 13, 1996) is an American professional basketball player for the Kaohsiung Steelers of the Taiwanese P. League+. He was ranked among the top point guards in the national class of 2015 by Rivals.com, Scout.com and ESPN.

Briscoe played well, using his body to get to the rim, he was advanced physically for his age. Briscoe was one of only three players from the 2015 class to be invited.[4] After the eighth grade, He attended Saint Benedict's Preparatory School. He teamed with current Fenerbahçe Basketball point guard, Tyler Ennis, to lead the Gray Bees to the brink of an ESPN National High School Invitational championship. They lost on a last-second 3-pointer to Montverde Academy, 67–65. Briscoe had 11 points in the game. Isaiah averaged 15.1 points, 4.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 steals his sophomore season for the 32–2 Gray Bees.[5] Briscoe transferred to Roselle Catholic High School for his junior year, where he was coached by Dave Boff.[6] He led the team to state titles in 2014 and 2015,[2] scoring 27 points in his final high school game to lead Roselle Catholic to a win in the state's overall Tournament of Champions.[7] As a senior, Briscoe averaged 21 points, five rebounds and three assists per game. He models his game after Deron Williams and Tyreke Evans.[6] Prior to his senior year, Briscoe led the AAU New Jersey Playaz to the championship at the 2014 Nike Peach Jam in South Carolina. He posted averages of 19.2 points and 5 assists over 23 total games in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) in 2014.

He committed to Kentucky on November 13, 2014, live on ESPNU, becoming the third highest ranked point guard that John Calipari signed at the school.[9] "(UK) puts me in the best position to play basketball after college," Briscoe said. "Calipari puts you on the highest stage. The last couple years, all his point guards have been in the NBA. I'm just trying to be the next one."[6] He chose Kentucky over St. John's. He was the nation's consensus top point guard, was ranked No. 13 overall player by ESPN and Scout, No. 10 by Rivals, and No. 12 by 24/7 Sports recruiting services.[10][11][12][13] He helped lead Team USA at the 2014 FIBA Americans U18 Championships to a gold medal.[14] He was a first-team Parade All-American in 2015.
