In a televised interview after Danny Wolf was drafted No. 27 by the Brooklyn Nets, his mom, Tina, said going to New York was what her son wanted.

When Michigan star big man Danny Wolf declared for the 2025 NBA Draft, he likely thought he was going to hear his name called a little sooner than what it was on Wednesday night. But the former Yale transfer ended up getting selected in Round 1 by the Brooklyn Nets with the 27th-overall pick.

The Brooklyn Nets have selected Danny Wolf with the No. 27 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. Wolf earned second-Team All-Big Ten honors in 2025 and was a first-team All-Big Ten selection by the Associated Press. He averaged a Big Ten-best 9.7 rebounds per game last season, which also ranked 12th nationally.
