Social media loves Michigan star Danny Wolf heading to the Brooklyn Nets in 2025 NBA Draft

In this story:
Michigan basketball star Danny Wolf was selected with the No. 27 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft by the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night.
The do-it-all big man was a staple on the Wolverines' Sweet 16 roster. Wolf averaged 13.2 points, led the team with 9.7 rebounds, and was second on Michigan dishing out 3.6 assists per game. The 7-footer also shot nearly 34% from 3.
The Nets had five first-round picks in the draft, and they used their final pick on the Michigan big man. Brooklyn won just 26 games this past season and the Nets need all the help they can get. Wolf is a skilled big who can make an immediate impact on the offensive end of the court.
Following the section of Wolf, social media roared. Here are some of the best reactions.
