Recent No. 4 overall pick Caleb Wilson recently sat down for an in-depth interview with People magazine where he made a shocking admission about his career in athletics.

Before becoming a highly touted prospect on the court, Wilson admitted to favoring a different sport ahead of basketball, saying, "It (basketball) actually wasn't my favorite sport at first. It was baseball."

However, Wilson admitted that it was ultimately a growth spurt that made him switch sports, saying, "Well, I just got really tall. It (basketball) was chosen for me."

Prior to the draft, Wilson was able to throw out the first pitch at a Savannah Bananas baseball game in Chapel Hill. Since joining the Bulls, he's yet to throw out the first pitch for the Chicago Cubs or White Sox of Major League Baseball.
