DJ Wilson appreciation thread
I appreciate him.
DJ is so good that the NCAA named the Final Four basketball after him.

Loved the FTs even more. This team is ice cold deadly at the line. Watching these games I realized how much of a benefit that can be.
the second half of the season. Been a joy to watch him grow as a player. He was fantastic today. On his way to being an elite player. He and Moe will likely get more calls going their way next year than this year as well.
dorky and uncoordinated.
This year - smooth as silk, and Rumeal-level balls at the line.
Incredible improvement. He's like a teenager who just grew 6 inches - grew into his body.
DJMFW!!!
DJ, Moe, MAAR, Derrick, Zak, Belein, et al . . . I appreciate you.
Quietly, Donnal's minutes have ceased being a net negative for us.
Been so fun watching his development this season. His postseason improvement is McGary-esque
I was just telling my friend that it's getting to the point where I'm not nervous when DJ gets fouled at the end of games. Only Walton has that distinction at the moment.
I can appreciate DJ because of just how much better he is compared to last year. Very clear he put in a ton of offseason work. Great to see it pay off.
How are his giant testicles not visible through his shorts? my goodness that guy has a brass pair.
would agree
Unfortunately, we might be seeing DJ and Mo playing themselves into the first round of the NBA THIS YEAR. We have to slow these 2 down a little, hopefully come back next year and then be a lottery pick.
I'm going to actually cry if Moe and DJ leave after this year. Sure, it's great for them to reach the NBA, but it brings back horrible flashbacks of the 2 years prior to this one when our team was drained.
Big smooth!!
I mean this a guy who barely saw the floor a year ago, and is now perhaps one of the best in college basketball. How do you make that leap and just grow with incredible confidence in that time? You have to give the staff lage credit, something we've not really been fond of doing here, because we expect Michigan results without exception. Well, DJ is just a wonderful player and athlete.
And when he did play last year he was awful. Lost on D, hoisted up dumb shots, and was so skinny it looked like you could snap him like a twig.
Now he is remarkably smooth, and really coordinated. He looks so confident with the ball in his hands, he has a great stroke, and he's our best post defender (ok, low bar).
No doubt in my mind he's got NBA talent. I hope he agrees another year under Coach B will help his development. Please.
Surely you mean
DJ ICE
What would make me appreciate him more? If he wasn't so afraid of contact when he's going to the basket.
DJ + Mo = 43 points!!
This right here is probably one of the stats of the game, if you were to ask me, and one of the most compelling reasons to appreciate Wilson. Between him and Wagner, they accumulated a 66.7% eFG - the rest of the team, rough math, was hovering just above 40% for the same statistic.
I appreciate you keeping us in it in the first half. I appreciate you wanting the ball on the inbounds in the last minute. Clutch player - great teammate
are an absolute matchup nightmare for most teams. Incredible that against a team absolutely loaded with pretty talented bigs, those two were the ones who took it to L'ville. Awesome!
He's going to the NBA, only one thing left to do now. Win the whole damn thing.
I agree, but... no love for our German friend?
Next year, he'll be even better. Consider that...
Wagner too. I am afraid that the NBA beckons, So yes, only one thing to do. Win the whole fuckin' thing.
That is the original cut, you guys gotta quit watching comedy channel for your quotes.....
Someone's always hot (today MO), and someone else has ice water in their veins (DJ).
GOTTA LOVE THIS TEAM!
GO BLUE!!
like his hair was on fire. Outstanding DJ, just exemplary basketball for all to witness. To be fair this is a team sport and this team has been playing its ass off. Should sharing MVP's across the board, if it isnt DJ its Walton if it's not Walton it's Wagner if not Wagner than it's Zak... Pick your poison.
on same page defensively or whatever it was he was screaming to his teammates.
Seemed like he wasn't even concerned about shooting the upcoming free throws.
was the little fake he had in the first half that ended with the left-handed baby hook. It was a thing of beauty.
