Areas Of Concern
Lack of Strength
While Wilson’s length and athleticism are easily apparent, so is the lack of strength. On the offensive end of the floor, he can be bumped off course by physically imposing defenders when driving to the basket. Defensively, he can also be knocked off balance by stronger players. He’ll undoubtedly need to add more strength to his frame, which will help him physically on both ends.
On-Ball Creation
Wilson has real work to do offensively. He has to work on his abilities as an on-ball creator in particular. While promising, his ability to handle the ball can get loose. As a result, unlike some of the other top prospects in this draft, he isn’t great at creating advantages or breaking down his defender while playing on the ball. Instead, he’ll often settle for tough jumpers when he can’t get to the rim. Yet, Wilson isn’t great in terms of post play either. Due to his raw offense, there are times when his presence can blend into the background. He definitely needs to improve his ability to generate offense if he wants to raise his ceiling.
Inconsistent Shooting
Wilson’s ball-handling isn’t the only problem, as his shooting ability is inconsistent. In his senior year at Holy Innocents, he only shot 34% from 3. He does have a functional form but the results are mixed, and his shot can be flat at times. Finding consistency and overall improvement in his shot will be an important step to take his game to the next level.
