UNC’s Caleb Wilson declares for draft He may have flown under fans' radar the last month because he missed the ACC Tournament and the NCAA Tournament with a fractured thumb, but scouts have not forgotten — North Carolina's Caleb Wilson is a projected top four pick and he is going pro.

com/Yd4u8ZVM19 — Caleb Wilson (@CalebWilson2025) April 13, 2026 Wilson is a 6'10" wing who lived up to the hype in Chapel Hill, averaging 19. 8 points and 9. 4 rebounds a game on 57.
8% shooting. He showed up with big games in big moments (24 points against Kansas and 23 facing Duke, outplaying Darryn Peterson and Cameron Boozer in those games). Wilson is athletic and powerful, and while he needs to develop his shot, the potential is there.
