— Carolina Basketball (@UNC_Basketball) June 25, 2026NBA Draft News and Notes: “Wilson is a ridiculous athlete who drops jaws on the floor with his talents. He has a 7-0 wingspan and a 39.5-inch vertical, and does things with quick bounce. Peterson, Dybantsa, Michigan's Morez Johnson Jr., and Baylor's Cameron Carr are all super-dynamic athletes, but Wilson seems to have another step on his ladder when the ball is tipped,” Bilas said. NBA Draft Rumors:The Bulls will happily accept whichever of those four – AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, or Caleb Wilson – falls into their lap. With that said, Wilson has long been viewed as fourth on that list and has been mocked to Chicago ever since the lottery balls fell last month. Could there be an unexpected decision made by the Wizards, Jazz, or Grizzlies? Sure, but most signs point toward Wilson being the Bulls' next franchise centerpiece. And even he seems to know it.OKC Thunder could make the league sick if they trade up in the NBA Draft 🤢
