Caleb Wilson thrives in NBA Preseason debut

Caleb Wilson made his long-awaited NBA preseason debut on Wednesday night. The UNC basketball standout led his Chicago Bulls to victory.

Caleb Wilson made an immediate impact during his NBA preseason debut with the Chicago Bulls. In a 124-117 victory over the Phoenix Suns, Wilson scored a team-leading 15 points. Playing the entire 29 minutes, Wilson finished with six shots made, all three free throws, three rebounds and two assists. This performance marked a significant introduction to the NBA for Wilson, who had previously dazzled in the Summer League with a record 35 points.

Among the top draft picks of the 2026 class, Wilson stood out as the most NBA-ready, having already amassed First Team All-ACC honors and a fourth overall pick in the draft. Wilson's athleticism, mid-range shooting, and defensive skills make him a formidable opponent for any team. With the Bulls looking for a bright rookie season, Wilson appears poised for success alongside a talented young roster.
