Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson makes debut with 15 points in 124-117 preseason win over Suns

Caleb Wilson made his NBA debut for the Chicago Bulls on October 7, scoring 15 points in a 124-117 preseason victory over the Phoenix Suns at the United Center. Wilson showed flashes of talent, including a midrange jumper and a fast-break dunk, but struggled with consistency, missing his first three three-point attempts and picking up five fouls. The Bulls' young roster faced challenges with ball handling and defense, allowing the Suns to score 40 points in the first quarter. Despite the rough start, the team adjusted effectively, with veterans like Norman Powell and Matas Buzelis providing stability. The win highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in ball handling and defensive rebounding, as the Bulls prepare for the regular season opener on October 21.

He reflects on how the competitive fire shaped him, seeks growth beyond that mindset, and finds a new appreciation for LeBron James and Bronny as he pursues a life after basketball, including a moment of closure at Derrick Rose Night and a broader sense that doors are opening rather than closing.

Caleb Wilson's Summer League Spark Illuminates Ceiling, Turnovers Remain

Caleb Wilson delivered an eye-opening Bulls Summer League showing, flashing 3-and-D versatility and self-created scoring that led to a 42% 3-point clip (13-of-31) after his college 26% on 27 attempts, while averaging 24 points, 7 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 1.3 steals per game; however, he also led with 5.3 turnovers per game and shot just 33% from the free throw line, concerns the piece argues are correctable in season play, and it awards him an A+ grade for proving the Bulls’ faith in him, even as Summer League context remains imperfect.

Jazz Edge Bulls in Ugly Summer League Clash

Utah Jazz defeated the Chicago Bulls in a sloggy Summer League game marked by 54 fouls, 39 turnovers, and poor shooting. Hayden Gray and Trey Alexander spearheaded the Jazz with multiple steals, Caleb Wilson found his rhythm late in the 4th, and Jonas Aidoo anchored on the defensive end. A scary neck-injury to Alexander ended the night on a somber note. The Jazz head to a matchup with the Spurs next.

Bulls Move No. 38 to Pacers, Reacquire Kam Jones in Draft Night Shuffle

The Chicago Bulls traded their 38th pick to the Indiana Pacers on draft night, receiving guard Kam Jones plus two future second-round swaps and cash. The deal, which involved an active NBA player on draft night, has sparked debate over Chicago’s devaluation of second-round picks, but Jones, a Marquette standout with collegeUpside, could fit the Bulls’ pace-and-paint style despite modest rookie numbers (4.4 PPG, 3.2 APG) with the Pacers last season.

Bulls Trade No. 38 to Pacers, Land Kam Jones as Braden Smith Goes to Indiana

Chicago Bulls traded No. 38 in the 2026 NBA Draft to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Kam Jones, future pick swaps, and cash; the Pacers used the pick to draft Braden Smith, leaving Chicago with two 2026 first-rounders (Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain). Jones is under a two-year deal with a team option, and the cash won’t impact on‑court moves, pushing Chicago to pursue undrafted free agents.

Bulls tab Dailyn Swain at No. 15 to bolster length and versatility

Chicago drafted Texas forward Dailyn Swain with the No. 15 pick, adding a 6-foot-8 “big guard” who fits the Bulls’ SLAP profile (size, length, athleticism, physicality) and project as a defensive, connective scorer alongside Caleb Wilson in a rebuild led by Bryson Graham and Tiago Splitter. Swain, who played at Xavier before Texas, averaged 17.3 points and 7.5 rebounds last season and will aim to impact transition and offense, though his shooting (3-point percentage rising from 15.4% as a freshman to 34.4% as a junior) will need continued development to maximize his fit with Josh Giddey and the new Bulls roster.
