Michigan’s stretch-forward with rim protection and two-way feel
In the 2016-17 season, D.J. Wilson broke out for Michigan, averaging 11.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and shooting 53.8% from the field while also hitting 37.3% from three, a rare combo for a 6-9 forward who can defend the paint and space the floor.[5][9] He’s the kind of player who changes lineups without demanding the ball: long, mobile, efficient, and disruptive at the rim, with enough touch to punish help defenses.[7][9] If a team wants size, switchability, and modern frontcourt versatility, Wilson fits—especially because his value goes beyond box-score noise.
