The Bulls' New Monster Is TERRIFYING! ⚠️🐂

I am a fan of Golden Hoops. Here is Wilson back on the ball. Defended by Matt Cleveland. Wilson explodes it! The play of the 2026 Summer League. Caleb Wilson going over top. And for Memphis 42%. Ill-advised pass Oh! Caleb Wilson jumping out of the gym. On the back, look at this. Let me go get you at the top. Wow, look at that. On the ball. In ahead for Wilson. Gets it back on this end with authority. Swing to work it in. Wilson fires and hits. Got the record. Most points in a Vegas Summer League debut. He has 32. Summer League. Chicago's out at timeouts, so this ball's got to be pushed up the floor very quickly. 5.6 to go. And to Wilson. They're not going to foul him on the shot. Hits the tray anyway! Wilson put on a show. In 33 minutes. He should have 42-43 tonight. Snatched by Iwaka. And ahead to Wilson. Wilson threw the shoulder in and then threw the hammer down. In transition, if you can attack quickly, get the ball up, make a decision, a little rip through, one dribble. He's willing to put the work in. He's represented by Rich Paul Clutch. They got him in the gym early, being that he missed the end of the season. Harmon in the corner with three to shoot for Utah. Matt Cleveland blocked by Wilson. That's two blocks. I try to get in and out because everybody wants to take a picture or have a second with you, but 10 to 12 teams competing for that 10th spot, including the play in. I just can't wait to see. Thought he was going to get drafted, didn't work out. He's from Charlotte in Florida. Wilson in. And what we like is, remember what you said, he only took one or two attempts last year. He's shooting them right now. He's shooting another one now. Oh, with a heat check. There is the heat check. Yes sir! I thought he was going to heat check right away. Let me get to my step back. Young fella. Outside to Boozer. Boozer, step through with the left. No. Good rebound by Cooper. You got to go to Pilates class for this. Hendricks. Elite camp where he really changed his game and became dominant in the paint. Just like that. Another prospect for the Wizards at a guard position. Young man who can guard a beautiful pass inside. Yeah, you know what I'm impressed about the Summer League this year. It's not just Gator Paulson, it's the other top draft. Same if you're fouled on a three-point shot. Wilson. Good defense by Small. Oh, yeah. And what we like is, remember what you said, he only took one or two attempts last year. He's shooting them right now. He's shooting another one now. Oh, with a heat check. There is the heat check. Yes sir! Wilson missed a heave at halftime. He'll put up the three and the buzzer. Wilson ends the third quarter with a bang. Three-point shot. Off the dribble, identified a shot clock. Phoenix, so you had Brayden Burris playing against Cole P. And every time like that, Gator Paulson gets to the basket. Every time, Brayden Burris had an opportunity. Sellers. Nice. Offensive rebound. Waka puts it back up. A second-time foul on Tim. Nsenge. Over to Wilson now. Wilson's first. Hey, answer my question. Get a three early. Oh, yeah. Right here. Right off the dribble. We didn't see this in college. It's more catch and shooting. This is Swain inside. Nowhere to go. Tossed it out to Wilson somehow. Wilson. Step back Jay. Bottoms. Wow. I'll tell you what. He's going to be able to make it. Force him inside. Don't let him go the other way where you don't have all the conjunction there. I see teams doing that, John. I totally agree with you. And shooting. Bowles is a team below 25%. They have 21 turnovers. Wilson with the reject. But even in college, winning every individual award is Wilson. Sellers. Over to Wilson. Flicks the wrist. Again. Swish. Oh, Caleb Wilson run. I'm in. Okay. Absolutely. Yes, outside. Hold on, Jay. He can't go against his team. It would have been wrong if he forced the action to try to get his own shot. Got his own shot. 35-point performance in game one was also an emotional one for Caleb Wilson. He actually cried. Well, if you wanted to play as you like, it's good for me. I can play more minutes. Seeing the guys you coach come out here live out their dreams. They're both so competitive as you saw the bucket there. The three from Caleb Wilson. But he told me that the stage Well, you see this too. And Huber's like, man, you know what? Dumped will be of course the highlight. But how about the fact that he has the ability to highlight dunk the next possession. He hit a three. Then he just threw it off of Harmon's face. Bluey retrieved it for Chicago. Weaves inside. Wilson is there. Seems to be right on. Tremendous rookie class. Right on cue. Wilson. Another one from downtown. Knocked down. We saved one to catch his shoes. He made the ones off the dribble. See what Caleb did. But that's one of the things that excites people so much about him is he's so coachable. But you see wondering where that was at the University of North Carolina. More known for that transition start to for the gym. I am. I'm here with Caleb and he already told me he's got a message. So I'm gonna let you go ahead here. I'm gonna let y'all know right now. Jalen Sellers and Donovan Atwell saved my life. That's what they did today. They saved my life. You know, we won. That's all we wanted to do. I'm excited, bro. Go Bulls. You guys get your first win here at Summer League. I know how much of a competitor you are. So what did you see from this group in the second half in this fourth quarter? You know, we played defense. That's probably our biggest thing. You know, coming out of the huddle and coming out of halftime, we said that we needed to finish the game strong. We had a lead at halftime. I don't think we've had one this Summer League. So, you know, we just had to finish strong. I'm excited we did it. While you're shouting out teammates here, I gotta ask you about your ex-teammate. You got your ex-head coach here from college. So did it feel like a UNC reunion? Oh, for sure. For sure. But, you know, once you get between the lines, none of that matters. So, you know, I'm just excited that my coach is here to support me and, you know, go Heels always. Okay, so another two triples for you tonight. You've already surpassed your college total. What has gotten into you here in Vegas? Uh, shout out God, shout out Chris Johnson Hoops, and shout out my mom. That's a big three. That's a very impressive big three. Now, listen, we have seen you kind of put a couple of posters together here at Summer League. How would you describe the athleticism and the way you attack the rim? I just, every time I attack the rim, I'm trying to dunk. You know, that's what I've been raised to do. That's what my dad told me, so I gotta do it. Alright, thank you so much, Caleb. We love your energy. No problem. Obviously, this is a whirlwind experience and then you kind of get into the summer and that's where the real work begins. What kind of advice have both of you guys gotten in terms of how to make the most out of the time between now and Summer League? Um, the only advice I've got is to just take it day by day. I mean, like you said, it's a whirlwind of time and it's kind of hard to just sit back and breathe, but, you know, we're here for basketball and we're here to be winners and have a great culture and set the tone for this team moving forward, so just focus on basketball and keep that the main thing. There's a new coach. What is it kind of like to be on the ground floor of this kind of whatever this becomes? It's crazy, honestly. You know, it's not like a fresh start and I feel like we have the things we need to be a great team. Honestly, you know, I know I'll step in and be a leader by leading by example and making sure that I get this city to back where it was. I'm really excited for the opportunity and I feel like we have a great group of guys around us to make it happen. I mean, I'm excited to get to work, honestly. You know, it's time to go. How do you kind of envision being used in the Bulls offense and what has Thiago said about that so far in whatever early conversations you've had? For me, I just envision being able to play. I feel like I'm just a basketball player. I'm going to do what it takes to win, so getting the rebound, pushing it, creating an initiating transition, making sure I'm a good screener, coming off ball screeners, just doing what it takes to be a good basketball player. I mean, I try not to box myself in into a role and that's kind of how Thiago envisions it as well. Just making sure you have the opportunity to play basketball kind of freely but within a little bit of structure. Coming into the draft, what does that mean to you guys? For me, it means a lot, honestly. You know, you only get one opportunity to make a first impression and you only get one opportunity to do what I'm doing, have an NBA career. So, you know, I take every moment that I have seriously. I want to take every practice seriously and knowing that, you know, it's only a limited amount of time. So, I mean, I know I'm going to be a leader, at least by example, and making sure I try to come first in all the conditioning, testing, drills and do everything I can to be a leader that the people respect. Do you expect to have or anticipate having? I expect to have Rick good a year, honestly. I mean, I'm going to work hard. I'm going to do what it takes. I feel like the team is really good for me and how I envision the play. And I know I'm a hard worker. So, whatever I need to fix it, work on throughout the season and before the season, I'm going to work on it so I can be a great player. Do you sort of see a similarity that people maybe are underestimating what you can do and what you could bring? Yeah, for sure. I mean, I've played all of them now. So, I mean, you know what happens when I play them. So, I mean, it don't really matter. I don't really care about the media. I'm a competitor and I get to play in the summer league, too. So, whatever needs to be done to prove that I'm on the same level or that I'm better, we'll do it. Is that the motivation when you played Kansas earlier in the season and Duke later? Honestly, I didn't have any motivation based on the person on the other side. It's about me. I mean, I'm just proving myself right. The confidence and expectations you have for yourself with the understanding that development in the NBA isn't always linear and this is maybe a whole different game than you played in college. I mean, I know it's a different game and I know development isn't linear, but I mean, I got everything I need to be great, honestly. I'm extremely athletic. I have a game that translates to the NBA well. Everything that I need to work on is stuff that I can actually work on. It's not something that God has to give me because he's given me everything I need. Caleb, we've heard so much about your work ethic. Can you share any stories about where that started? Who instilled that in you when you were younger? Honestly, it started once I realized that I needed to do some of my life. I wasn't really at work when I was younger. I probably didn't start really taking basketball specifically serious until I was around 14 years old. But once I really started to stick with it, I really started to work hard. I mean, I just love the game. I have a lot of fun with it, but I want to be legendary. I want to be remembered after I finish playing it. That's kind of what pushes me every day to be a great player.
