Two Tar Heels first round selections in USAT Sports' latest Mock Draft

The NBA Draft is quickly approaching on June 23, with a pair of Tar Heels projected to be first round selections and hopeful, Day One starters. Caleb Wilson , who took the college basketball world by storm before playing his last game at Miami (FL), averaged 19. 8 points and 9.

4 rebounds per game. Henri Veesaar thrived transferring in from Arizona, posting career-highs of 17 points and 8. 7 rebounds per game.

In USA TODAY Sports' NBA Mock Draft 12. 0 , Wilson goes third overall to the Brooklyn Nets, while Veesaar goes 27th overall to the Boston Celtics. "One general manager also told Jake Fischer that “every team” is going to have North Carolina freshman Caleb Wilson over either one of Dybantsa, Boozer, or Darryn Peterson," Bryan Kalbrosky writes.

"His injury, which caused him to miss the NCAA Tournament with a broken thumb, did not hurt his draft stock at all. Wilson, who also suffered a hand fracture earlier in the season, did more than enough to earn this placement. " Veesaar debated returning to UNC , but he quickly turned into a first round projection.
