Caleb Wilson: “I watch a lot of Kobe”

North Carolina Tar Heels star freshman Caleb Wilson is a huge fan of the late great Kobe Bryant (averaging 19.3 PPG/10.6 RPG/2.4 APG/1.6 SPG/1.2 BPG/1.8 TOV/2.3 PF/53.2% FG/57.0% 2-PT/18.2% 3-PT/54.1% eFG/77.1% FT through nine starts).

(via Inside Carolina):

Reporter: “Caleb, speaking of the NBA, one of my friends was telling me that when he watches your footwork, he sees a lot of Kobe. Was that someone who you watched when you were young trying to emulate?”

Wilson: “Yeah, he’s my favorite player. Just his game and also just his mentality and his work ethic. So I mean, I watch a lot of Kobe and I feel like it’s gonna be really important for me cuz just like me, he faced double teams and he had to figure out how to maneuver and work through them.”
