Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

DeVante Jaylen Wilson, son of Taniya Ballard, was born in 1996 in Mount Shasta, California. Wilson played three years of Capital Christian High School in Sacramento, leading the team a final No. 3 state ranking as well as the CIF Sac-Joaquin Sectional title during his last year. After graduating from Capital Christian in 2014, Wilson committed to the University of Michigan, becoming the first player from the Sacramento area ever to sign with a Big Ten institution for collegiate basketball. Wilson, whose own middle name was inspired by fabled Michigan Fab Fiver Jalen Rose, spent three years with the Wolverines and won the team's Most Improved Player award in 2017. That year, he averaged 11 points and 5.3 rebounds per game and started 36 of the team's 38 games. He helped take the Maize and Blue to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament, good for 17 points and three blocks in their upset over No. 2 Louisville. You can find DJ Wilson on Twitter and Instagram as @Lanky_smoove. DJ Wilson played three season of collegiate basketball, from 2014-2017, at the University of Michigan. His collegiate basketball career really blossomed during his junior year. The 6-10 forward appeared in 26 games as a sophomore while providing 2.7 points in 6.1 minutes per contest. He moved into the starting lineup as a junior and averaged 11.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game while connecting on 37.3 percent of his three-pointers. Wilson produced 28 points, 14 rebounds and six assists in an overtime New Year's Day loss to Iowa. That effort represented one of his four double-doubles. Wilson led Michigan to NCAA Tournament wins over Oklahoma State and Oklahoma with a combined 36 points. After his junior season, the forward declared for the 2017 Draft.

Great in G League playoff loss
COsceola Magic   G League (Magic)
April 5, 2024
Wilson logged 20 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four blocks and three assists across 41 minutes during Osceola's 120-112 loss to Long Island on Friday.
ANALYSIS
After Wilson's 10-day contract with the 76ers expired, he re-joined Osceola for the team's first and only playoff game this season. Despite not being signed to an NBA team and Osceola's G League season coming to an end, Wilson's arrow is pointing up heading into next season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2017
As a sophomore last season, Wilson averaged 5.8 points (41.4 FG%, 36.2 3P%, 55.3 FT%), 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 three, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks in 18.4 minutes across 48 appearances. Over the summer, the Bucks replaced free agent Nikola Mirotic with Robin Lopez and Dragan Bender, so Wilson won't necessarily see a substantial increase in playing time in 2019-20. That said, he earned just 3.2 minutes per tilt across 22 games as a rookie, so Wilson taking another step forward is certainly within the realm of possibility. At the moment, Wilson figures to slot in behind both of the Lopez brothers on the team's center depth chart. Still, he could end up challenging the 32-year-old Ersan Ilyasova for the backup power forward gig. Regardless of Wilson's role, Milwaukee boasts a deep roster with championship aspirations, and the 23-year-old big man is unlikely to be a valuable commodity across most fantasy formats.
Wilson had a breakout campaign last year at Michigan, posting 11.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.3 assists across 30.4 minutes per game while shooting 53.8 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from deep. He fits the Bucks’ gameplan – postionless and long – almost perfectly. Wilson is 6-foot-10 with a 7-foot-3 wingspan and projects to be a small forward/power forward at the NBA level. In addition to being a solid three-point shooter, he also has the ability to put the ball on the deck and make a move, which he can utilize as defenders close out on him aggressively on the perimeter. He’s also more than athletic enough to get out and run in transition and make smooth off-ball cuts – two things Milwaukee also likes to do. He may struggle at the NBA level rebounding and finishing at the rim, however, as he currently has a thin frame, weighing in at just 235 pounds. Defense could be an issue as well, as the Bucks play a switch-heavy defense, which could result in him matching up against bulky power forwards that could body him on the way to the rack. While he probably won’t garner a workload conducive to consistent Fantasy production, Wilson could end up seeing semi-rotational minutes next season, especially with Jabari Parker out until around February with a torn ACL.
