17. Milwaukee Bucks – D.J. Wilson, F, Michigan

D.J. Wilson is the perfect Milwaukee Buck. His physical abilities are exactly what the NBA is trending towards. He can play the power forward or small forward. He can shoot the three and his athleticism is where you’d want it to be.

He won’t be asked to play big minutes for the Bucks next season, which is a good thing. He probably needs a year of development. But he’s the type of project that can pay dividends in the future.

Wilson could end up being one of the better players in this draft. And, no, I’m not just saying that.

Grade: B
