Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Pascal Siakam

Summary

Wilson is a wiry-built and athletic forward with good size and mobility. He came into North Carolina with extremely versatile defensive tools and having made gradual, but consistent, offensive strides. He exceeded all expectations on that end of the floor though and elevated his draft status in the process.

About

Was the No. 8 ranked prospect in the national class of 2025.
Was ranked inside the top-ten prospects in his class throughout his high school career.
Won a Georgia state championship as a senior at Holy Innocents Episcopal School and the EYBL championship with Nightrydas.

Strengths

High-level athlete who is bouncy, effortlessly mobile, flexible and has an elastic body type.
Scores with athleticism around the rim and soft mid-range touch. Explosive in transition, good offensive rebounder, can make short drives, pass and even start the break. Also has an advanced left hand.
Physical tools to be a playmaking defender who can guard multiple positions and erase mistakes with his court coverage, shot-blocking and high activity level.

Weaknesses

Inconsistent outside shooter and floor-spacer who can settle for lower percentage tough twos in the mid-range area.
Was not viewed as an offensive alpha or primary creator in high school, so remains to be seen how much of his recent offensive growth is translatable.
Can have defensive lapses away from the basket when he’s on the weakside of the floor and in rotations.
