Former Michigan big man Danny Wolf had to wait a little longer to hear his name called than some expected, but his NBA dreams came true Wednesday night when the Brooklyn Nets selected him with the 27th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Wolf spent one season in Ann Arbor after his transfer from Yale and quickly became one of Michigan’s most important offensive players. He averaged 13.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game while helping lead the Wolverines back to a Sweet Sixteen appearance.
While questions remain about his defensive ceiling and shooting consistency, the consensus among draft experts seems to be Wolf represents one of the more intriguing upside plays late in the first round.
