After one season with the Michigan Wolverines, Danny Wolf's NBA career is now officially underway. On Wednesday night, during the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets selected Wolf with the 27th overall pick.

The 7-footer was incredibly productive for the Wolverines last season, averaging 13.2 points per game. His ability to play inside and outside allowed him to become a matchup nightmare, serving as one of the critical pieces to Michigan's Sweet 16 run. Given his combination of size, athleticism, and basketball IQ, the widespread belief is that Wolf can carve out a long and successful career in the NBA. And now he'll get a shot to do that with the Nets.

Here's a quick look at some of his most noteworthy stats from the 2024-25 season:

  • One of four Wolverines to play and start in all 37 games
