"A lot of people just had me as a volume shooter - saying, 'he needs to get this many shots to do this.' And I feel like I completely ended that narrative. Just being able to show that I don't need the ball 20 times to affect the game. Rookies are not going to get shots up, unless it's the Victor [Wembanyama's] of the world. You got to be efficient with the ball. And I prepared for it all summer."
"But to get on the court with the Brooklyn Nets, Wilson, a second-round pick out of Kansas, understands he must be efficient and impactful without the ball in his hands. To that end, Las Vegas last month was an encouraging couple weeks for Wilson, who was Brooklyn's best player in Summer League and earned All-tournament honors despite ranking fourth on the team in shot attempts."
Jalen Wilson is transitioning from a primary college role to a supporting, off-ball role with the Brooklyn Nets and prioritizes efficiency over volume. He performed strongly in Las Vegas Summer League, earning All-tournament honors while taking fewer shots than most teammates. Wilson was a 51st overall second-round pick on a two-way contract and faces limited opportunities on a playoff-focused roster. He trained at the Nets facility during the summer, benefits from four years of physical development at Kansas, and brings NCAA championship experience that can enhance chemistry with teammates.
