Frequently Asked Questions
How did Caleb Wilson perform in the 2025 NBA Summer League?
Wilson averaged 23 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 1 steal per game on 50% shooting across four Summer League games. Those are standout numbers for any player, let alone a rookie.
Why did the Chicago Bulls struggle so badly in Summer League?
Chicago went 1-3, losing by an average of 17.7 points. Teammates like Dailyn Swain shot just 12.9% from the field and Jaylin Sellers went 6-of-30 from three, reflecting how thin the overall talent depth is.
Why did Caleb Wilson average so few assists in Summer League?
Wilson averaged just 1.8 assists per game largely because his teammates struggled to handle his passes, not because he lacks passing ability. His Summer League teammates shot inefficiently throughout the four games.
Was Caleb Wilson actually a good passer at North Carolina?
Wilson averaged 2.7 assists per game at North Carolina and was tied for second on the team in assist average, even though distributing the ball was never his primary role as a non-point guard.
Has Bulls head coach Tiago Splitter used a forward as a primary ball-handler before?
Yes, Splitter previously used Deni Avdija as a primary ball-handler in Portland, and Avdija plays the same forward position as Wilson. Splitter has also faced elite point forwards like LeBron James and Kevin Garnett during his playing career.
