Caleb Wilson, who was selected as a member of USA Basketball Junior National 18 Team in 2024, admits his favorite player is NBA star Nikola Jokic, and Wilson tries to model this game after him. “I play like a combo forward role,” Wilson told On3. “I can shoot the three, can shoot off the dribble, I’m a very good passer, and defensively I can play perimeter and interior defense. He’s been my favorite player since his rookie year. I love his passing and his playmaking. A lot of people say that is what is best about me. I watch how he comes down the floor, surveys the court, and sets his teammates up. I try to put that into my game.”
