Chicago Bulls select Caleb Wilson with No. 4 pick in 2026 NBA Draft

The Chicago Bulls chose 20‑year‑old forward Caleb Wilson with the fourth overall selection in the 2026 NBA Draft. Wilson, a 6‑foot‑10 UNC Tar Heel, posted averages of 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds as a freshman while shooting 57.8% from the floor. Teams viewed his athleticism and creative upside as a strong fit for a rebuilding Bulls roster, though coaches noted he must improve his shooting consistency.

College basketball coaches highlighted Wilson’s potential, with one comparing his court run to a college version of Giannis Antetokounmpo and emphasizing his size, length, and ball‑handling skills. They described him as a "finished product" in development, praising his ability to stretch the floor and suggesting he is only scratching the surface of his talent.

The selection adds Wilson to the Bulls’ recent history of drafting Tar Heel players, joining Michael Jordan and Coby White as the third UNC alum selected in the first round by Chicago.
