NEW YORK – The Brooklyn Nets have selected Michigan Wolverines star forward Danny Wolf with the No. 27 pick in the NBA draft.

Wolf had a tremendous season for the Wolverines, leading them to a Big Ten Tournament championship and a trip to the Sweet 16, where they fell to the Final Four contenders, the Auburn Tigers.

The skilled, stretched big man with elusive ball handling was invited to the NBA draft green room.

Wolf is a 7′0″ towering point forward who just so happens to have a 7′2″ wingspan, and can knock down the long ball, as evidenced by his 33.6% shooting last season.

Head coach Dusty May let Wolf’s versatility shine inside and outside Crisler Arena, as he was the primary ball handler for the majority of Michigan’s magical run.
