D.J. Wilson Is Rookie Of The Year Candidate With Milwaukee Bucks

With the 17th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks surprised some and grabbed former Michigan basketball star D.J. Wilson. The pick has been almost universally praised because he seems to be a perfect fit for the Bucks’ system, and for that same reason, Wilson is going to be a legitimate candidate for Rookie of the Year next season.

Head coach Jason Kidd and general manager Jon Horst like to talk about the “Bucks DNA,” which involves length, versatility, hard work and character. To the length and versatility, Michigan fans can definitely see where Wilson fits in perfectly.
