Caleb Wilson has been a busy guy over the last month, to say the least. One recent stop that he made was to NBA Today, where he was asked about the NBA Draft, and whether or not he felt like he should be drafted #1 overall.
Here is what the now former Tar Heel had to say:
”I definitely do. I played against everybody else, and I won. And I played better. It’s just that simple for me. … You can check the film, you can check the tape.”
Hard to argue against that.

Whether you believe Wilson has what it takes to jump over AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cameron Boozer in the draft, there is no doubt that Wilson may be the most interesting player of the group as far as his ceiling goes. As he stated, he did beat Peterson and Wilson during the regular season, and he at least outplayed Dybantsa during the exhibition against BYU. By no means does any of this mean he is destined to be the better NBA player, but it is at least something that NBA teams should make note of.
As of right now, most outlets still have Wilson going fourth overall to the Chicago Bulls, but a couple of outlets think that teams are starting to consider Wilson as a top 2-3 pick. CBS Sports has Wilson getting drafted second overall by the Utah Jazz in their latest mock draft, which would be an interesting move to say the least. The last thing that the Jazz need is another big, but perhaps Wilson’s upside would be enough to not resign Walker Kessler.
We are just a couple of weeks away from finding out who will ultimately draft Caleb Wilson, but now we want to hear from you. Do you agree with Wilson? Do you think he could/should go #1 overall? Let us know in the comments below.
