Overview
- Wilson confirmed in an Instagram post Friday that he is entering the 2026 NBA draft.
- Multiple mock drafts place him in the top five, including a No. 4 projection from Bleacher Report’s March 24 board, with the draft set for late June.
- The freshman averaged 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds in 24 games and earned first-team All-ACC and AP All-America Second Team honors.
- He fractured his left hand on Feb. 10 and then broke his right thumb in early March, had surgery, and is reportedly on track to be cleared for pre-draft workouts.
- Without Wilson, UNC went 5–5 and lost to VCU in the NCAA first round, and WRAL reports the school later fired head coach Hubert Davis.
