Milwaukee Bucks: Grades for D.J. Wilson draft pick
By Adam McGee
The Milwaukee Bucks selected D.J. Wilson out of Michigan with the 17th overall pick of the NBA Draft, but how do we grade the pick?
Although it was a pick that initially caused surprise in many quarters, the Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to select D.J. Wilson with the 17th overall pick has generally been very well received in the time since.
Wilson comes to the NBA with solid rather than gaudy numbers, but plenty of potential to far transcend his college production as a professional.
Having already rounded up some of the Bucks’ draft grades from around the net for Friday’s daily column, it’s now the turn of our own grades for the Wilson pick.

So without further ado, let’s get down to it.
