Wilson spoke with reporters at the NBA Draft Combine on Thursday, answering questions about his impending entrance into the league as one of the NBA’s most highly-touted prospects.<\/p>

The 19-year-old forward identified Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic as his favorite player in the league.<\/p>

“I really like Jokic. He was my favorite player, even before his MVP,” Wilson said. “I really liked how he played. I really wasn’t that athletic when I was younger, believe it our not.”<\/p>

Wilson will hear his name called during the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft, which will begin on June 23 from Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.<\/p><\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
