NBA STAR ALERT! Anthony Edwards’ Old Comments on Caleb Wilson RESURFACE
A viral clip from years ago has suddenly reignited the basketball world — and it features none other than NBA superstar Anthony Edwards praising a then–up-and-coming Caleb Wilson in a way that now feels almost prophetic.
With Wilson exploding onto the scene at Duke and drawing national attention, fans dug up the footage of Edwards casually but confidently describing the young prospect as someone with “it.” At the time, the comment barely made headlines. Today? It feels like a prediction come true.
A Young Caleb Wilson… Already on Anthony Edwards’ Radar
The resurfaced interview shows Edwards speaking candidly about a young Wilson, calling out his raw skill, natural instincts, and massive potential. He acknowledged Wilson was “still young,” but emphasized that “you can see it, man” — a remark that now carries a whole new weight.
Fans were stunned to learn one of the NBA’s brightest stars noticed Wilson long before his national breakout.
The clip spread quickly across social media, sparking reactions like:
“Ant knew BEFORE the scouts!”
“This is crazy — he literally called it.”
“NBA players see talent we can’t even recognize yet.”
Edwards’ Words Hit Different Now
With Wilson’s first few college performances dominating highlight reels, experts revisiting the Edwards quote are calling it “eerily accurate.” Wilson’s maturity, versatility, and on-court presence have matched, if not exceeded, the early praise Edwards gave him.
Some analysts believe the resurfaced comments validate the hype surrounding Wilson’s NBA potential — suggesting Edwards may have recognized traits that only elite players notice in each other.
Fans Lose Their Minds Online
As soon as the clip gained traction, Duke Twitter, basketball pages, and NBA fan communities erupted. The storyline of an NBA star predicting Wilson’s rise became one of the most-discussed topics of the day.
Rival fans tried to downplay the relevance, but Duke fans embraced it as another sign that Wilson’s trajectory is no fluke.
One viral post read:
“Anthony Edwards basically scouted him before anyone knew who he was.”
Wilson’s Stock Just Went Even Higher
With Edwards’ comments fueling the narrative, Wilson’s national profile is skyrocketing even faster. The clip adds to the growing belief that he could be one of college basketball’s top breakout stars — and potentially one of the most intriguing NBA prospects in the next draft cycle.
Coaches, scouts, and analysts are now re-examining Wilson’s film with sharper focus, aware that when a star like Anthony Edwards gives early praise… it usually means something.
The Verdict
What was once a throwaway interview clip is now a full-blown storyline:
Anthony Edwards saw greatness in Caleb Wilson before the world caught up.
And with Wilson continuing to rise at Duke, the basketball world is starting to admit it:
Maybe Ant really did see the future before anyone else.
