Caleb Wilson has been one of the biggest standouts of the 2026 NBA Summer League so far. As the fourth overall pick by the Chicago Bulls, everyone expected Wilson to be a hit, and so far, he has been stellar.
When it comes to his game, Wilson was mostly profiled as an athletic wing with upside on both ends of the floor. Most projections for his offense were mostly restricted to the paint or the mid-range, but he has surprised a lot of people with his three-point shooting at Summer League.
Billed as a high-upside athletic wing, Wilson was always going to be a project player. He is not the most complete player in the class, but he has already proven that he is ready to work hard to become a star for Chicago.
Wilson has been working with the renowned shooting coach, Chris Matthews, better known as Lethal Shooter on social media. They have worked together to improve Wilson's shooting, which was considered by many to be his biggest weakness.
