"...D.J Wilson is an even more intriguing option. Wilson missed significant time with a broken pinkie finger, but the versatile 6-foot-9 forward was fully cleared this week. Wilson projects to the forward spot in Michigan’s offense later in his career, but Beilein admitted he could factor into the equation at the five this season.
“I think there is a chance that he can play any position,” Beilein said of Wilson. “We are a long way from determining that, but his length, his shot-blocking ability, his skill level mean that he could be (a center). His down-the-road position is a forward. It’s like Zak Irvin last year; he wasn’t a swingman, but he did okay and now he’s migrated that way."
“(Wilson) was cleared right at the beginning (of the week), and I’ve liked what I’ve seen,” Beilein said. “He’s another guy who can multi-position at any of the three front-line spots. He has gained significant weight, good weight. We have been working on Sundays and Fridays and there’s a big gap in-between, so I look forward to getting some more consistency with what he’s doing, but he’s picked things up quickly as well.”
Wilson is listed at 6-foot-9, 220 pounds on Michigan’s roster and is the best athlete that Michigan has on its front line. His athleticism, combined with a 7-foot-3 wingspan, provides an element of versatility on both ends of the floor that Michigan’s other frontcourt players lack...."
