One of the most intriguing storylines in this year's NBA Draft is where Caleb Wilson will be headed. The mixed reviews on the former North Carolina Tar Heels star put him anywhere between No. 1 and No. 6 overall.
After suffering injuries at the end of the season, Wilson is already showing he's worthy of going near the top. The general consensus says he'll be No. 4 to the Chicago Bulls after AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer and Darryn Peterson. But what if he's second overall to the Jazz, which slide one of the top three down the board? Just one of the biggest 'what ifs' right now.
Here's where things stand with Caleb Wilson ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft.
