Caleb Wilson looks like next Bulls superstar after dominant Summer League effort

There wasn't much doubt about Wilson's speed and strength coming into the NBA, but his jump shot and his defense raised questions. He certainly showed he can block shots, especially with his chasedown block in the second quarter.

Caleb Wilson rose to the occasion

One of the most enjoyable parts of Friday's matchup was that Wilson and Boozer regularly guarded each other, which was not the case when No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa and No. 2 pick Darryn Peterson played. Early on, Boozer picked Wilson and got an easy dunk, part of a back-and-forth battle between the two. Boozer finished with 23 points, six rebounds and four assists.

Wilson had the tougher task, however. The Grizzlies' lineup was unusually experienced for a Summer League team, featuring three-year NBA veterans Taylor Hendricks and Olivier Maxence-Prosper, along with All-Rookie first teamer Cedric Coward. The size and NBA experience facing the slender Wilson didn't intimidate him, as he remained aggressive in the face of the older, bigger players.

The only knock was Wilson's 2-for-6 performance from the foul line, where Summer League's one-foul-shot rule meant he could have put up 40+ points with a little better shooting.

Wilson's three-point shooting was a revelation, especially for a player who hadn't been in a real game since February. Wilson's competitiveness might have been even more impressive.
