Michigan’s Danny Wolf, ranked No. 19 on ESPN’s 2025 NBA draft board, has declared for the draft and will relinquish his remaining college eligibility, he confirmed to ESPN. The 7-foot, 250-pound forward/center transferred from Yale and delivered an impactful season with the Wolverines, earning All-Big Ten second-team honors. Wolf is praised as a rare blend of size, skill, and playmaking versatility in this year’s class.
What is Danny Wolf’s Wingspan? A Look at the Michigan NBA Draft Prospect’s Measurements
Danny Wolf, a 7’0″, 250-pound big man from Michigan, has officially entered the 2025 NBA Draft, forgoing his remaining college eligibility.
Known for his rare versatility at his size, Wolf’s game blends flashy passing, pull-up jumpers, and unorthodox offensive playmaking—a style that has intrigued NBA scouts throughout the season.
While his exact wingspan hasn’t been publicly disclosed, his seven-foot frame and interior presence suggest a reach likely between 7’2″ and 7’4″, standard for NBA players at his position. That length, along with his feel for the game, has allowed him to impact games defensively as a rebounder and rim protector, despite limitations in quickness and vertical explosiveness.
This season, Wolf averaged 13.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.4 blocks per game, earning second-team All-Big Ten honors. His unique role under head coach Dusty May allowed him to operate as a point forward, frequently initiating offense, handling the ball in transition, and executing out of pick-and-roll situations.
“This season exceeded all expectations,” Wolf told ESPN. “We had an awesome year from a team standpoint. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into with a brand-new roster and coaching staff, but Dusty May had an out-of-the-box plan for my development… I wouldn’t be in the position I am today without them letting me showcase my skill set.”

Still, Wolf remains a work in progress. Though he shot near 40% on step-back and pull-up 3s this season, his overall career mark from deep sits at 33.6%, with a 65.9% free-throw rate. Scouts are cautious about his shooting consistency and high turnover rate, as he often forces risky passes in tight windows.
Reflecting on his journey, Wolf credited Michigan’s staff for their forward-thinking approach.
“Dusty May and I watched a lot of NBA film… Lauri Markkanen, Alperen Sengun, and Karl-Anthony Towns… Coach laid out his vision and really believed in me,” he said.
Transferring from Yale, where he was Ivy League tournament MVP, Wolf transformed his body and skill set, elevating his draft profile and emerging as one of the most distinctive players in the college game.
