On March 6, North Carolina star freshman forward suffered a big setback this week. The 6 foot 10 player broke his right thumb during a practice drill on Thursday and had surgery right after. He's out for the rest of the college season, just as the Tar Heels gear up for tournament play. Wilson had been dominating all year, averaging 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. His scoring inside and rebounding made him a key part of the team's attack, putting him on the map as one of the top college players. The injury hits hard for North Carolina, who relied on his size and skills to control games. Now the team must lean on his guards and other bigs to step up, especially with March madness on the horizon. Reports say Wilson should recover fully by spring and time for NBA pre-draft workouts. NBA scouts already love his athleticism and versatility, keeping him high on draft boards. As the Tar Heels push forward without him, Wilson shifts focus to his pro-future, which

looks wide open.
