ATLANTA — Caleb Wilson delivered a performance that left the home crowd in awe, including a breathtaking dunk that seemed to defy gravity.

It’s possible that next season, he’ll be wearing a different uniform.

The 6-foot-10 native of Atlanta scored 22 points and added three more dunks to his already impressive total, leading No. 16 North Carolina to a dominant 91-75 victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday.

Wilson is expected to be one of the top picks in this summer’s NBA draft. The hometown Hawks are among the teams likely to select early, having acquired a first-round pick from the struggling New Orleans Pelicans in a recent trade.

“I would love to play for the Hawks,” Wilson said. “It would be nice to come back home and play for my home city, but then again I’m just ready to make an impact for whatever’s out there.”

Despite the pressure, Wilson showed off his skills against Georgia Tech, though it took him some time to get into rhythm. The Yellow Jackets employed double-teaming tactics on offense, forcing him to look for his teammates.

That strategy ended up working in North Carolina’s favor.

“It started with Caleb,” said coach Hubert Davis. “I thought they would have to double the post if we threw the ball into Caleb. Instinctively, as soon as the ball touched his hands, he got it to the open teammate. That ignited everyone else on how to play.”

Once the Yellow Jackets backed off, Wilson took control of the game. He scored 14 points in the final 7:46 of the half, helping North Carolina build a 52-37 lead at the break.

“I just had to figure out what’s going on,” Wilson said with a calm demeanor.

His most memorable moment came during a fast break after a missed shot by Georgia Tech. Kyan Evans lobbed the ball toward the basket, but it looked too high for Wilson. Not for long.

He leaped up to grab it with his right hand and slammed it through the hoop in a stunning display of his athleticism.

“I just jumped as high as I could,” Wilson said. “I didn’t want it to be a turnover. I wanted to try to grab it and save it. So I grabbed the ball and just threw it in the hole.”

Wilson set two school freshman records, becoming the first player to reach 20 points in 15 games and achieving double-figure points in 21 consecutive games to start his college career.

It seems unlikely that he will stay in Chapel Hill for long. The NBA is calling, and there’s a possibility of a return to Atlanta.

He has already shown his ability to perform well in his hometown. Earlier this month, during the CBS Sports Classic at the nearby State Farm Arena, which is also home to the Hawks, he scored 20 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in a close 71-70 win over Ohio State.

“I think for anybody, being able to come back home is a big deal,” Davis said. “He grew up with traffic about 25 minutes from here. One of the things that did help him today was he already played in Atlanta. … He played really well against Ohio State, but I think he came in more settled this time, the second time around.”

Wilson was thrilled to have another strong performance in Atlanta, where plenty of family and friends were cheering him on.

“I know there are people looking out for me,” he said. “People who want to see me do well.”
