Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson registers first career 30-point double-double

Rookie Caleb Wilson registered his first career 30-point double-double on Saturday, leading the Bulls in a loss to the Wizards.

Chicago Bulls executive Bryson Graham has lauded the genuine enthusiasm Caleb Wilson exhibits to continue developing his skills, following an impressive start to his NBA career. In the team's season opener against the Toronto Raptors, Wilson scored 16 points and grabbed 4 rebounds but also turned the ball over nine times. After the loss, the Bulls bounced back to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks, 132-125, with Wilson contributing 21 points and 6 rebounds.

Graham, the Vice President of Basketball Operations, praised Wilson's relentless approach and genuine desire to be great, emphasizing that it is not merely a façade. The Bulls executive, who was hired in May to spearhead a rebuilding process, noted Wilson's SLAP traits – Size, Length, Athleticism, and Physicality – which are crucial for the franchise's success.

Wilson's preseason performances, averaging 15.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, have led to high expectations for his impact on the team. The Bulls' schedule remains tight, with upcoming games against the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks.
