I wanted D.J. Wilson to be good sooooooo much. That was a fun Wolverines team to watch and he had several stretches where he looked like a future unicorn in the NBA; I'm talking blocking shots, handling the ball, and knocking down jumpers; crazy measurables and a quick second hop.

Streaky as hell, though. Not sure why, didn't catch much of his NBA minutes, but he's never going to stick and develop if he can't deliver consistently in at least 1 or 2 key categories. Raptors are probably his last and best shot at a regular rotation role. I hope he succeeds.
