The North Carolina Tar Heels are back on the court as practice for the upcoming 2026-27 college basketball season is underway. While the Tar Heels are getting ready for next season, a former player is preparing for his first year in the NBA.
Former North Carolina star Caleb Wilson was selected by the Chicago Bulls at No. 4 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft this summer, with the team hoping they just took a superstar. Wilson is off to a good start in his career early on, impressing in the NBA Summer League. But now, he's getting some praise for his work ethic he has.
During Monday's media day in Chicago, vice president Bryson Graham was asked about Wilson and the time they have spent together so far. He had a very interesting quote about Wilson and his
work ethic, revealing that the rookie is at the facilities late working on his game.
"If I'm at the office late till 7:30 and I hear music and a ball bouncing, I'd almost bet everything I have it's going to be Caleb Wilson when I look out the window," Graham said.

For North Carolina fans, this is nothing new. Wilson put in the work right when he got to North Carolina and was the clear leader for last season's team.
The hope for Chicago is that Wilson will be a star for the franchise, as they have really struggled over the years. So far, it's been a good start.
