Caleb Wilson is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about names in the 2026 NBA Draft, and for good reason. The former North Carolina Tar Heels star is turning heads at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, where he's proving he's more than ready for the big stage.

After battling through injuries late in his college season, Wilson is showing scouts and analysts exactly why he's projected to go as high as No. 1 overall—and no lower than No. 6. Right now, the buzz has him landing at No. 4 to the Chicago Bulls, behind top prospects AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, and Darryn Peterson. But the draft is full of surprises, and some insiders are floating the idea of Wilson going No. 2 to the Utah Jazz, which would shake up the entire top of the board. It's one of the biggest "what ifs" in this year's draft conversation.

At the combine, Wilson measured in at 6'9.25" barefoot and 211 pounds, with an impressive 7'0.25" wingspan and a 9'0" standing reach. That's a full inch taller and six pounds heavier than his last measurements two years ago—great news for a player whose length and athleticism are already his biggest assets. While his frame is still on the lean side for a big man, his reach and mobility make him a matchup nightmare on both ends of the floor.

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has already weighed in, calling Wilson "the most special player in this draft." Green specifically pointed to Wilson's fit with the Washington Wizards, saying, "He has by far the most potential in this draft. No questions." That kind of praise from a four-time NBA champion carries serious weight.

Whether he lands in Chicago, Utah, or elsewhere, Caleb Wilson is proving at this combine that he's built for the next level. For fans of the Tar Heels and NBA draft junkies alike, this is a storyline worth following all the way to draft night.
