He helped the Jayhawks win a national championship in 2022 and was a consensus AP All-American (first team) as a junior in 2022\/23.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets selected Wilson with the 51st overall pick in the 2023 draft. The 25-year-old spent his first three seasons in Brooklyn, averaging 7.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists on .401\/.340\/.788 shooting splits in 176 total games (20.2 minutes per contest).<\/p>\n<p>During the 2025\/26 campaign, Wilson averaged 6.4 PPG and 2.1 RPG on .396\/.355\/.719 shooting in 54 appearances (15.9 MPG).<\/p>\n<p>As <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hoopsrumors.com\/2026\/07\/2026-27-nba-two-way-contract-tracker.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">our tracker<\/a> shows, Wilson will fill Atlanta\u2019s third and final two-way spot.
