Experts: UM’s Wagner, Wilson not ready for NBA

With the college basketball season officially over, programs are beginning to look ahead to next year.

For Michigan, one swirling question remains: Will Moritz Wagner and D.J. Wilson return for their junior seasons?

The frontcourt tandem garnered NBA buzz and popped up on draft boards during Michigan’s postseason run, helping the Wolverines win the Big Ten tournament title and reach the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

While neither Wagner, a 6-foot-11 center, nor Wilson, a 6-10 forward, have announced whether they will declare for the NBA Draft, ESPN basketball analyst Tim McCormick doesn’t think either big man is ready for the next level yet.
