Caleb Wilson earns praise from prominent college hoops analyst

North Carolina star forward Caleb Wilson has been recognized by ESPN analyst Dick Vitale as a first-team All-Diaper Dandy and second-team All-Rolls Royce selection. While Vitale did not clearly explain the difference between the two honors, Wilson was one of the best basketball players in the country before his season-ending injury. He was UNC’s leading scorer at 19.

8 points per game and leading rebounder at 9. 4 per game. He also averaged 1.

5 steals and 1. 4 blocks, both still team highs. Wilson recorded 11 double-doubles, tied for the second most by a freshman in program history.

Wilson rewrote the Tar Heels’ record book for scoring, rebounding, 20-point games and double-doubles by a freshman. Despite his injury, he was a first-team All-ACC selection and a consensus second-team All-American . This is what Vitale said about Caleb Wilson in his All-Royce teams section: Wilson, who the Tar Heels clearly missed after successfully undergoing season-ending thumb surgery, anchored his team with his versatility.
