Summary
Caleb Wilson emerged as the clear focus below the top three picks, with the UNC forward saying he would be “really excited” to land with Chicago at No. 4.
No. 4 has drawn less suspense than the top of the board, but evaluators still rate Wilson highly—Paul Biancardi said he could be No. 2 or even No. 1 in other drafts, while Jay Bilas called him the class’s most dynamic athlete.
Labaron Philon is set to work out for Minnesota, even though the Timberwolves hold only No. 28 and the Alabama guard is projected from the late lottery, fueling talk they could trade up again for a ball-handler.
At No. 7, Sacramento lost visits from Keaton Wagler and Mikel Brown Jr.; Brown has already worked out for Brooklyn at No. 6, and the Nets are seen as strong suitors.
New Orleans is also being linked to lottery movement, with rebounding, rim protection and three-point shooting cited as priorities and Nate Ament identified as a target.
