This offseason, a Milwaukee Bucks forward is eligible for an extension. No, not that one.
The 17th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, D.J. Wilson is set to be eligible for a rookie-scale extension whenever the reconfigured offseason and NBA calendar is set with the current season suspended due to the coronavrius pandemic.
To say the timing of such eligibility is unfortunate would be an understatement.
Wilson, as well as the entire 2017 draft class and this upcoming crop of free agents, will get a first-hand and uncomfortable experience of the new financial realities facing the league and all its 30 teams.
