When the Milwaukee Bucks drafted D.J. Wilson in the first round of this year’s NBA draft, many fans could have been forgiven for asking if it was something of a reach.
Wilson was something of a late riser in many of the more notable mock drafts, and for many, the standout details about the 21-year-old were likely that he had led the Michigan Wolverines to the NCAA Tournament this year and that he was inclined to wear short shorts reminiscent of the olden days of the NBA.
As a result, Bucks fans were eagerly anticipating the opportunity to see their new addition take to the court, and the NBA’s annual Summer League in Las Vegas provided Milwaukee’s supporters with a chance to get to know Wilson a little better.
