In five gameswith the Herd, Wilson averaged 15 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists over 30 minutes per game. 

The Bucks also signed Xavier Munford to a two-way contact and converted Joel Bolomboy to a standard NBA contract. 

The 23-year-old Bolomboy has played six games with the Bucks this year, averaging 1.5 points in 6 minutes, and the 25-year-old Munford has averaged 24 points in 20 games with the Herd this season.
