While Derrick Walton and Moe Wagner will be participating in the NBA Combine’s 5-On-5, DJ Wilson will be skipping the games. Many believe it’s a sign that Wilson is leaning towards sticking in the draft and not returning to Michigan:
Thought on #Michigan's D.J. Wilson skipping 5-on-5: he has nothing more to show, which could mean he's leaning toward staying in the draft.

Less tape the better … That's Wilson's entire approach right now and it's smart.
Also makes me think his ppl are confident RE: his stock https://t.co/U4RqUU4WlD

And by confident RE: his stock, I, of course, mean: It sure doesn't sound like heading back to college is on DJ Wilson's radar right now. https://t.co/gWW98qYItM

Skipping 5-on-5 seems to indicate that DJ Wilson thinks that there is more to lose than there is to gain from participating. https://t.co/idYVlNKRPd

This.. plus DJ's value based on potential. I'm not sure 5v5 is how he boosts stock. Consistent production not really strong suit on resume. https://t.co/RoEocjc4wj

Update: Wilson’s banged up:
Sources in Chicago tell us D.J. Wilson is not participating in the workouts because he is banged up … no other reason.

Wilson’s numbers:
DJ Wilson has great length for a stretch 4. 6'9", 7-3 wingspan, 9-1.5 standing reach. Stock should rise.
