  • Tiago Splitter (quoted): Splitter on Caleb Wilson: he played back to the basket in college, the staff has seen different things in summer league and practice, and he keeps getting better. It is still a rookie year: he has a lot to learn and has to get stronger. at 33:40
  • Tiago Splitter (quoted): Splitter describes Caleb Wilson's intended role: facing the basket, driving, shooting, pick and roll, dribble handoffs, playing fast in transition, and using his length to attack the rim. at 34:24

  • Pat the Designer: Caleb Wilson's NBA debut: 16 points on 7-of-21 shooting, 1-of-8 from three, 1-of-2 FT, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block, 9 turnovers. The host called him the worst of the bunch on turnovers. at 10:48

  • Pat the Designer: Host credits Matas Buzelis with changing his approach when his shot wasn't falling, attacking downhill to get to the line. He wants Wilson to learn the same lesson. at 12:29
  • Pat the Designer: Host opinion: Wilson and Matas Buzelis looked like two players doing a lot of thinking about new roles, and the whole team looked like it was overthinking. at 2:58

  • Host called Caleb Wilson the one positive. He tied Derrick Rose for the most steals in an NBA debut (three). at 12:21
  • With the Bulls down 73-47, Caleb Wilson failed to handle a bounce pass from Giddey on a breakaway, and the turnover led to an easy Raptors transition bucket. The host said the game felt fast for him. at 12:57
  • Host thought Wilson looked comfortable after the early part of the game, citing a Euro step past Kawhi Leonard and a putback dunk after a blocked dunk attempt. at 13:40
  • Host was concerned that Wilson was ripping shots late in the game, which felt a bit outside the offense. He does not want hero ball from Bulls rookies. at 13:45

  • Haize: Hayes thinks about $15M feels right for Jalen Smith if he stays healthy and keeps up his preseason level. He wants a two- or three-year deal so it lines up with Josh Giddey's contract or Caleb Wilson's extension. at 5:11
  • Haize: Hayes would give no one more than three years this coming offseason except Matas Buzelis, because he is younger. He wants flexibility in case Caleb Wilson becomes a star before his rookie extension. at 5:33
  • A host says a player Matas Buzelis is getting a new role, and that Caleb Wilson has not yet played in the NBA. name not confirmed at 17:11
  • Pat the Designer: Pat says Leonard Miller can come in when Caleb Wilson or Matas Buzelis sits without the Bulls changing their scheme or aggressive style. He says Miller's floor-stretching is still a work in progress. at 25:36
  • Haize: Hayes describes the forward rotation as Caleb and Matas Buzelis, with Leonard Miller backing up both. He says that would be enough to justify the trade. at 26:46

  • Caleb Wilson is being used to guard on the perimeter. Caleb and Matas Buzelis are described as supposedly good shot blockers. at 4:54
  • The hosts reject fan complaints that the Bulls lack a third point guard. They say the team needs a third ball handler, and Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson and Norman Powell can bring the ball up. at 11:37
  • Preseason shots per game: Caleb Wilson about 14, Matas Buzelis just under 11, and Leonard Miller about half a shot behind Buzelis ('I think'). Miller took 14 or 15 shots in the last game, which may inflate his number. at 27:29

  • Pat the Designer: Pat observes that Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson haven't been closing many preseason games. at 19:50
  • Haize: Hayes says Matas Buzelis has had more creation reps in preseason than he probably will in the regular season, and that Wilson has had some point-forward reps. Hayes expects these things to clean themselves up. at 20:30

  • Caleb Wilson (reported): Pat says Caleb Wilson has talked a lot about wanting to be rookie of the year and proving he is the best rookie in his draft class. at 3:12
  • Pat the Designer: Pat agrees that Norman Powell is the Bulls' most important offensive player because he can create his own shot. Pat names Caleb Wilson as a maybe and Buddy Hield as other self-creators. at 23:16
  • Pat the Designer: Pat says Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson will be the main options, but the Bulls will need Powell to win games early until the others figure it out. Pat says Caleb Wilson must take a major step before Powell moves back into a lesser role. at 26:06
