Episode Details

Chicago Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson has given fans a lot to be excited about through Summer League, but the real story is not his declining three-point percentage — it is how quickly defenses changed the way they guarded him.

After Wilson erupted for 35 points and 7 made threes in his Summer League debut, teams stopped daring him to shoot. That matters. It means defenses already began respecting his jumper, and now the next step is learning how to punish teams when they take that shot away. Haize breaks down what Summer League has truly proved about Wilson, why his mentality is the biggest reason for optimism, and what he still must improve before the regular season.

Wilson’s key development areas include tightening his handle, attacking closeouts, finishing through contact, improving as a playmaker, becoming more reliable at the free-throw line, simplifying decisions, and staying disciplined defensively.

Plus, the Bulls may need to look at the veteran wing market with their final roster spot. Dailyn Swain has struggled badly in Summer League, shooting 4-for-31 through four games, but Chicago should not give up on him. Instead, the Bulls may need a veteran guard-wing option who can protect the rotation, create real competition, and allow Swain to develop at the right pace.
