NATCHITOCHES – The NBA G League one again has a tie to the Northwestern State men's basketball team.
 
That relationship resumed Saturday when Raptors 905 selected former Demon standout Justin Wilson with the second pick of the second round in the 2026 draft. Raptors 905 is the G League affiliate of the Toronto Raptors.
 
A 6-foot-9 forward, Wilson spent the 2023-24 season at Northwestern after transferring from South Carolina State.
 
In his lone season in a Demon uniform, Wilson led the Demons in blocks (29), rebounding (4.3 per game) and field goal percentage (.659). His field goal percentage mark ranks third in school single-season history.
 
Following the end of his Demon career, Wilson played professionally in Georgia and Latvia. He averaged 8.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in 13 games for Amra Gagra Akhaltsikhe in the Georgian Super League during the 2024-25 season.
 
Wilson becomes the first Demon to be drafted by a G League team since center Ishmael Lane was selected by the Indiana Mad Ants with the 27^th pick of the second round in 2024.
