D.J. Wilson: The Bucks’ Unlikely Hero

After a harrowing, frightening rookie season last year, second-year big man D.J. Wilson has quieted his naysayers by playing some tremendous basketball on both ends of the floor this season for the Milwaukee Bucks.

After missing nearly the first two months of the season nursing a hamstring injury, Wilson has been playing significant minutes since returning for the first time in his young NBA career. Last season, he only saw 71 minutes of action...he’s already played 165 minutes this season while averaging a career-high 18 minutes per game. Mind you, he’s only played in 8 games this season.
