The Milwaukee Bucks introduced their first-round draft pick, D.J. Wilson, at a press conference Monday, and he rocked an emerald green suit in his first appearance as a Buck.
Wilson, a 6-foot-10 forward out of Michigan, was the 17th overall pick.
In his introductory press conference, Wilson touted his versatility on both sides of the court as well as his length.
