If you Google “Michigan basketball NBA” right now, you’ll find quite a bit about the rising stocks of Moritz Wagner and D.J. Wilson, who played well all season but finally had a bright enough light on them in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments to rope in more eyes than usual.
But what about Derrick Walton Jr.? You’ll have to skip to the second or third page of results to find something about the player who was responsible for getting the Wolverines that kind of attention in the first place.
With 126 career starts under his belt (third on the all-time list at Michigan), NBA scouts would struggle to find a more tried and tested player on the market.
