NBA.com's current profile still displayed Wilson with Brooklyn, but its June 29 update reported that the Nets declined to tender a qualifying offer and that he would enter free agency. The league options tracker also lists Wilson among the 2026 decisions. The explicit free-agency status outranks a lagging roster tile.

Fantasy value
- Redraft: no draft value until a contract and rotation place exist.
- Nine-category role if signed: low-volume threes and rebounds, with insufficient assists or stocks for standard leagues.
- Points: deep injury streamer only if a team gives him 20-plus minutes.
- Dynasty: outside the top 250; age and replacement-level wing competition cap the upside.
- Reversal signal: a guaranteed deal plus preseason placement in a team's first ten.
Career record
Pre-NBA: Kansas, four seasons (2019-20 through 2022-23). He appeared in two games as a freshman before a season-ending ankle injury and a redshirt, then started three full seasons: 11.8 points and 7.9 rebounds on .414/.333/.630 in 2020-21, 11.1 and 7.4 on .461/.263/.722 for the 2022 national champions, and a senior-year 20.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists on .430/.337/.799. That last season brought Big 12 Player of the Year, consensus first-team All-American and the Julius Erving Award. Draft: 2023, second round, pick 51, Brooklyn.

Durability: 43, 79 and 54 games. The rookie-year absences were rotation and G-League assignment decisions rather than injury; 2024-25 was a near-full season on a tanking roster; the 2025-26 drop to 54 games came as Brooklyn shortened his role, with no single documented long-term injury.
Trajectory: The one season Brooklyn handed him volume, 2024-25, showed the limit: 25.7 minutes produced 9.5 points on 39.7 percent shooting with 1.8 assists and no defensive events, which is below replacement for a wing at that usage. Efficiency fell again in 2025-26 and the Nets declined the qualifying offer. He is competing for a 14th or 15th roster spot or a two-way conversion somewhere, not a rotation job. He becomes fantasy-relevant only if a rebuilding team signs him to a guaranteed deal and injuries ahead of him force 25-plus minutes again, and even then the profile is threes and nothing else.

Open questions
- Which team signs Wilson, and is the contract guaranteed?
- Was Brooklyn's non-tender purely a roster-space decision or a signal about his NBA role?
- Can he raise either defensive events or passing enough to become more than a scoring-depth wing?
