The NBA Draft Combine in Chicago<\/a> is still ongoing<\/a>. Without a doubt, eyes will be focused on North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson. Not only for the skills he brings to bear, but also because the Chicago Bulls<\/a> may likely draft Wilson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Bulls will receive the No.4 pick<\/a> in the 2026 NBA Draft. Plus, Wilson is predicted<\/a> to be the No.4 pick in NBA mock drafts.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Wilson said he met with the Bulls and expressed interest, per Elias Schuster of Sports Illustrated. Additionally, Wilson shared an appreciation for the history between Chicago and Chapel Hill.<\/p>\n

It turns out that Chicago has quite a track record of drafting elite talent from North Carolina. The obvious one being Michael Jordan in 1984. While at North Carolina, Jordan was a two-time collegiate player of the year. In 1982, he hit the game-winning shot in the NCAA final against Georgetown as a freshman.<\/p>\n

The rest is history. Jordan also had a tradition of wearing his North Carolina shorts under his Bulls\u2019 shorts.<\/p>\n

In 1990, Chicago drafted forward Scott Williams from North Carolina. He would play for the first three-peat team alongside Jordan from 1991 to 1993.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Chicago drafted Coby White out of North Carolina<\/a>. He would play in Chicago from 2019 to 2026, before being traded to the Charlotte Hornets in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Wilson also liked the new VP of Basketball Operations, Bryson Graham\u2019s SLAP philosophy when it comes to the type of talent he is looking for. SLAP means: size, length, athleticism, and physicality.<\/p>\n

At 6-foot-10 and athletic, Wilson certainly meets all four.<\/p>\n
