Danny definitely doesn’t project as as good a shooter as Mo or Bill (bringing in Kessler is just weird… he made 10 threes in his short NBA career). Both his 3p% and ft% have not been good thus far. You’d hope he works hard on his shot, because if he can’t be a credible threat from outside, I doubt he has much of an NBA career.
Wolf is, however, at least an interesting option as a passing hub off the bench. Good handle and good vision for a guy his size, both of which are pretty much just absolute zeroes for Wagner and Laimbeer.
I think he’ll snag defensive rebounds better than Wagner because he’s wider. He’s not going to rebound like Billy, but he’ll move a little better. The big worry is that he’ll get targeted in the P&R no matter what position he plays.
I’m a fan of his. He has a small shot at becoming a solid starter, and a good shot at becoming a solid or better bench player. Reasonable investment of a non-lottery first this year, unless you’re picking for toolsy upside, then go with someone else. I think Yaxel is going to really show out this year as his replacement at Michigan, and tho he’s older, he’s a more athletic version of Wolf, someone that actually could be a good starter down the line.
