Caleb Wilson

Draft Notes

A big time talent at the power forward position who has all the size, athleticism and tools to be special.

Wilson is a quick, twitchy and springy athlete with good length. He plays above the rim with ease and can throw it down on defenders. His first step and overall athletic ability is truly special for a player his size.

Wilson has elite potential on the defensive end and is already a standout defender who can lock up ball handlers on the perimeter and challenge shots in the paint. He moves his feet incredibly well for a 6-9+ player and has truly special defensive abilities.

Has the makings of a nice mid range game and outside shot. Can hit the step-back, using his quickness to create space. Has a good looking shooting form and is likely to be a floor-spacer at the NBA level, although the consistency might not be there early in his career.

Gives me some Chris Bosh vibes, although not quite as advanced on the offensive end at the same stage.

Is just unlocking his potential and figuring out how good he can be.
