Talking about him has me more interested than usual in his game. Going back to Kemp, no PF could did with his athleticism and explosiveness off movement. This NBA had a lot less defenders that could deal with that. Maybe there is something there with Wilson.

Even though Wilson isn't a cornerstone for me. He's clearly an elite prospect and there maybe more than what JJ has become today. Like a higher tier than JJ or Siakam.

I think early career Siakam is a good comp in a lot of ways.

Early career Siakam also lived on those specs and his open court speed for his size. I don't know if there was a harder guard than Siakam in the open court as a 4. Wilson will live off of his athleticism and explosiveness off movement like the Reign man did but there is a lot more space in today's NBA. With the movement in today's NBA, you don't have to make a living from PnR like Kemp had to with GP.

The passing and open court moves…he has a little C-Webb to his game.

KG meets Kawhi ceiling.

Firmly #2 on my big board.

Where he’s drafted will strongly determine the finished product he ultimately becomes though.

Caleb Wilson carrying his team against Duke so far. Without Wilson, game would be over 5 minutes in.

Hardest question this year will be stack ranking Dybantsa, Wilson, Flemings, Wagler

Wilson is, shall we say, defecating on Boozer right now.

Boozer hasn't really played basketball. He has been taken out the game by the refs with very weak calls.

It's a long game and hopefully he won't get any more questionable calls so we can see Wilson and him head to head.

Boozer is answering back. Duke hasn't played well and they're still up 5.

Wilson's the only guy who showed up for UNC this half.

Crazy finish. Veesaar was invisible the first half but absolutely killed it down the stretch. Very efficient 23 from Caleb Wilson.

Caleb Wilson gives big Kawhi type energy. Just toolsy, raw but effective.

For those who remember, he seems like a less athletic but more offensively polished Antonio McDyess.

I love Caleb Wilsons attitude. The man puts things on his phone screen saver to piss himself off just to remind him to play mad. Kid wants all the smoke.
Trying to be a little more like Stacey King.

Welp, probably seen the last of Caleb Wilson in a North Carolina uniform. Broken hand. Get better soon, big man.

Really sucks, would have loved to see him in the Tourney.

KOBE WOULD NEVER. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S SHUTTING DOWN BECAUSE OF A PUNY LITTLE BONE BREAK IN HIS HAND. WAAAAAAAAA. DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE DRAFTED.

What would be weird is if Wilson sits the next two games, then plays again but then sits another 2 and then plays 2 in a row and then sits a week and then plays again at end of month because of pain management for his broken hand.
