D.J. Wilson averaged 11.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 30.4 minutes per game for Michigan. He shot 53.8 percent from the field, 37.3 percent from three and 83.3 percent from the charity stripe.

Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders has the 21-year-old Wilson going to the Nets at 27 in his latest mock draft. Draft Express has Wilson going at 28 to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Wilson was measured having a 7’3″ wingspan at the NBA Draft Combine, and he’s displayed incredible agility and coordination for a 6’10” power forward. He’s also a solid scorer both inside the paint and outside beyond the arc.

He isn’t a complete player by any means and would have to work on his rebounding, but any team that picks him would be thrilled to have a prospect that exudes as much potential as Wilson. The Brooklyn Nets are in the perfect position to slowly develop his game as they continue to rebuild.
