Nets' Danny Wolf speaks on adjusting to on-ball, off-ball NBA role
Brooklyn Nets rookie forward Danny Wolf has had to adjust to the ball being out of his hands and he spoke on what that adjustment to the NBA was like.
NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets rookie forward Danny Wolf was one of the more interesting players that the Nets spent a first-round pick on coming out of the 2025 NBA Draft. Wolf had the ball in his hands more than most frontcourt players during his time at Michigan and with Brooklyn using him differently, he had the chance to reflect on what that variation was like. "I think everything is going to be an adjustment at some point and playing an entirely new style, you’re going to have to learn on the fly.
I think as the year went on, there were some things that I got better at," Wolf said during his exit interview on April. Wolf saw more playing time for the Nets as the season went on and while he had the ball in his hands less, he still had the freedom to make some plays at either power forward or center. "Again, like I just said, there’s a lot of things that I know that I have a very long offseason to kind of work on, and that’s pretty exciting," Wolf continued.
"I’m going to be thrown in a lot of different spots and it’s on you to be able to do that to the best of your ability. I think there’s a lot to learn and a lot to improve on. " Wolf, 21 , had a solid rookie season as the 27th overall pick as he averaged 8.
9 points, 4. 9 rebounds, and 2. 2 assists per game while shooting 40.
