Nets' Jalen Wilson: Struggles with shot
Wilson totaled nine points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 107-86 loss to the 76ers.
Wilson ends his rookie campaign in a 2-for-10 slump from beyond the arc, but his 35.6 percent clip on 1.6 threes per game through his first 38 appearances is a decent foundation. Wilson's strength is his top trait, however, with upside to carve out a defensively-oriented role with rebounding juice in the future. The 23-year-old logged a limited sample of under 600 minutes this season, but he ranked in the 88th percentile for defensive rebounding and 97th percentile for offensive rebounding among all wings.

Nets' Jalen Wilson: Slides back to bench
Wilson will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Wilson made his third start of the season Sunday due to Nic Claxton and Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) being sidelined, but he'll retreat to the bench with Claxton back in action. He figures to see a minutes load in the teens against Toronto.

Nets' Jalen Wilson: Headed to bench Wednesday
Wilson will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Wilson received a spot start Monday with Cam Thomas (back) hitting the sidelines, but Thomas is back for Wednesday's game, so Wilson's minutes will likely be reduced to the teens. He's a risky fantasy target in the reserve role.

Wilson is set to make just his second start of the season after Cam Thomas (back) was a late scratch. Wilson is averaging 9.4 minutes over his last five appearances but should be in line for a much larger workload Monday evening.

Nets' Jalen Wilson: Fails to score in 20 minutes
Wilson contributed zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 110-99 loss to the Hornets.
Wilson cracked 20 minutes for the second time in the past three games, continuing to carve out a somewhat consistent role for himself. However, despite the uptick in playing time, he has not been able to convert the minutes into production. He has been well outside the top 300 over the past month, averaging just 4.2 points per game to go with 3.0 rebounds.

Nets' Jalen Wilson: Getting standard NBA contract
The Nets converted Wilson's two-way contract into a standard NBA contract Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
The 2023 second-round pick has carved out more playing with the NBA squad of late, averaging 6.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 21.0 minutes per game over his last nine appearances (one start). For now, the rookie doesn't need to be on most fantasy radars, but Wilson is a guy to keep an eye on in deeper leagues, especially if the Nets opt to shut down some of their top producers toward the end of the regular season.

Nets' Jalen Wilson: Back to bench
Wilson will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
This will be the 12th different lineup of the season for Brooklyn, as Dorian Finney-Smith will slot in as the power forward. Wilson made his first start of the season Thursday versus Cleveland, finishing with eight points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers across 40 minutes.

Nets' Jalen Wilson: Starting Thursday
Wilson will start Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
This will be the first career start for the rookie. The Nets are without Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Cameron Johnson (adductor), but Wilson is expected to see more opportunities going forward with Royce O'Neale traded to the Suns on Thursday.

Nets' Jalen Wilson: Makes most of opportunity
Wilson posted 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 119-107 loss to the Mavericks.
This was the second-largest workload of the season for Wilson, as the Nets were very shorthanded Tuesday evening. Brooklyn could potentially be sellers at the trade deadline, so Wilson is a player to monitor if they can move a veteran or two.

Nets' Jalen Wilson: Impressive despite loss Wednesday
Wilson notched 21 points (5-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 144-122 loss to the Bucks.
Wilson led the Nets in scoring Wednesday and logged a season-high mark in several categories, including minutes played, points and rebounds. However, the fact that he has logged double-digit minutes twice in 2023-24 suggests this double-double was an anomaly. He should return to his regular bench role when the Nets take on the Wizards on Friday.

Nets' Jalen Wilson: Plays 17 minutes off bench
Wilson totaled seven points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 17 minutes during Thursday's 124-101 loss to the Nuggets.
Wilson has spent considerable time in the G League to begin the year, but he played double-digit minutes for the parent club for the first time in his career Thursday. He was relatively efficient off the bench, but it seems somewhat unlikely that he'll have a consistent role for Brooklyn moving forward.

Nets' Jalen Wilson: Posts double-double in OT loss
Wilson put up 22 points (4-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes in Sunday's 102-99 Summer League loss to the Cavaliers.
Despite struggling from the field, Wilson tied for a team high in points, making a living at the free-throw line. The 51st overall pick was impressive in Summer League action, leading the Nets to the semifinals while showcasing his ability as a three-level scorer and rebounding at a high level.
