Caleb Wilson. Elite basketball player and breaking news reporter?
The five-star freshman, just hours after dropping a double-double performance in the UNC basketball program's final preseason tune-up, posted on Instagram a story of him outside the Dean Smith Center just a few minutes before 7:00 AM EST.
Why was Wilson there so early? Well, it's for a pretty good reason.

As information has began to leak regarding college basketball programs being included in this year's version of the NBA 2K game. The truck outside the Dean Dome seems to confirm that North Carolina will be one of the programs involved as the brand looks to incorporate college basketball into its current NBA-styled game.
Why would they be on campus? Well, it's simple:
Each player undergoes face and body scans to enable the company to depict them in the video game setting accurately. If you have played any of the recent sports video games, you'll notice that the graphics of each player are much more advanced than what the "OG" gamers originally saw when these games were first released.
For those of you who currently play NBA2K (or have a gaming console), the good news is that you'll likely be able to use the UNC basketball program in the game within the new future. If you don't have the game just yet, you might want to make the purchase, preparing for the Tar Heels eventual addition to the game.
It's certain that one of the most popular matchups that will be played by people across the globe features the historic rivalry between the Duke Blue Devils and the North Carolina Tar Heels.
