Several weeks ago, Michigan big man DJ Wilson was rumored to have received a first-round guarantee from the Utah Jazz. So, whether he was actually guaranteed or not, maybe it’s kismet that he lands in Dennis Lindey’s lap in our consensus mock draft.

Wilson is a fluid athlete with good size as a four-man and could probably play the five at times as well. He also has the potential to be a strong playmaker and floor-spacer with the Jazz. In the mid tp late first-round, that’s a pretty enticing package.
