Bulls Two-Ways STEAL The Show… But Caleb Wilson’s Next Test Is Bigger
Description
The Chicago Bulls beat the Washington Wizards 99-87 in NBA Summer League, and the win showed more than just highlight plays — it showed signs of real developmental progress.
Haize breaks down why Caleb Wilson’s 19 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks may be more important than another massive scoring explosion. Wilson showed a more complete game, impacting the floor as a scorer, rebounder, passer, and rim protector without needing to dominate every possession.
But the biggest story may have been the Bulls’ two-way players. Jaylin Sellers exploded for 24 points, 3 assists, and 3 steals, while Donovan Atwell drilled six threes on his way to 19 points and may be forcing his way into Chicago’s two-way conversation. Tobe Awaka also impressed with 14 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks, giving the Bulls another strong developmental showing.
Plus, Haize previews Game 4 against the undefeated Los Angeles Lakers, where the Bulls young core will face a stronger test. Dailyn Swain must turn his connective impact into scoring pressure, Noa Essengue needs to stack another productive two-way performance, and Wilson must continue showing controlled all-around dominance.
Also, Tiago Splitter’s coaching staff is reportedly taking shape, with experienced assistants Rex Kalamian, Jonah Herscu, and Blake Ahearn expected to join the Bulls’ bench.
