D.J. Wilson

Wilson recently signed a 10-day contract with Philadelphia, and after playing two minutes in his first appearance with the team on Sunday, he saw 14 minutes in this game. He was able to post a solid line in the extra minutes, which is great to see from a player that last appeared in a regular season game during the 2021-22 season. Wilson may continue to see minutes off the bench, but he isn’t a player to target in fantasy basketball.

It’s that time when teams begin shoring up the talent base for their G League affiliate. Wilson, a first-round pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, was signed to an Exhibit 10 contract just before the start of training camp. While Oni technically has an opportunity to impress Orlando decision-makers (and the rest of the league), it’s more likely that he will wind up with the Osceola Magic.

Wilson, who has played for three different NBA teams since being selected by the Bucks in the first round of the 2017 draft, finished last season with Orlando’s G League affiliate. After playing well for the Magic in Summer League action, he’s earned himself a training camp invitation. Given the number of frontcourt players on the Magic roster heading into camp, this transaction was likely completed with the Osceola Magic roster in mind.

Wilson had three 10-day contracts with the Raptors last season and came to an agreement on a fresh two-year deal on July 8th. He has some work to do to get into the rotation, but the tools and intrigue are certainly there.
