NBA Draft 2017 Prospect Watch: D.J. Wilson
By Reid Mueller
What the Experts Say
(As of 6/20/17)
DraftExpress (Jonathan Givony): 22nd
ESPN (Chad Ford): 28th
The Ringer (Kevin O’Connor): 28th
Sporting News (Sam Vecenie): 30th
Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer views consistency as the key to unlocking Wilson’s NBA potential:
"“A prototypical big man as far as athleticism and versatility are concerned, though to be more than a role player he’ll need to play tough consistently.”"
Sam Vecenie of Sporting News feels Wilson is trending in the right direction, even if there’s still some work to be done:
"…He likely decided to go pro because he got good feedback on his leaping ability, solid lateral quickness and jump shot. He’s still raw, but there’s a lot to like in his game."
