D.J. Wilson selected 17th overall by Bucks
- Updated: June 22, 2017
D.J. Wilson is the newest member of the Milwaukee Bucks, as he was selected with the 17th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
A power forward, Wilson left Michigan as a redshirt sophomore, where he averaged 11.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. He also shot 37 percent from three-point territory, making 41 threes, and was a solid defender, tallying 57 blocked shots and 20 steals.
At 6-foot-11 and 240 pounds, Wilson has a 7-foot-3 wingspan and has the ability to make an impact on both ends of the court.
Wilson is a big, versatile and athletic player who was expected to go late in the first-round. While he has room to grow, especially defensively, he has a high-ceiling.
Wilson hardly played in his first two seasons at Michigan. As a freshman in 2014-15, he missed most of the season with a knee injury. Then as a redshirt sophomore in 2015-16, Wilson averaged only 6.1 minutes per game.
This was Jon Horst’s first move as the Bucks’ general manager, as he was officially named to the position on June 19.
