Wilson, the No. 4 pick in the 2026 draft, had been one of the bright spots for the Bulls during a 1-9 start. The 20-year-old rookie was averaging 18.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists on 42% shooting in his first 10 games. During his lone season at North Carolina, Wilson missed the NCAA tournament after he required surgery to repair a broken right thumb. He also missed six games in college with a broken bone in his left hand.
