Caleb Wilson

Professor was just asking about, $18 million expiring.

Caleb Wilson will be the league MVP by his third year, [laughs] making 11.8 million, third year team option.

Rob Dillingham, restricted rights.

Matus Pozzelis, restricted rights.

It's possible.

You know, Josh Giddey's not exactly known for being a, a lockdown defender, and Caleb Wilson's a rookie, but he'll be blocking some shots, and Matus Pozielski is blocking some shots.

There's gonna be flying around blocking shots.

So I, I think with Claxton, there's a little bit of upside there, so if I coulda gone three and a half airplanes, I probably would have.

Vikings, Bears, I think this is a big Bears watch.

Um, are the Bears those guys? Is this second year of Ben Johnson, is this second year of Caleb Wilson with Ben Johnson going to be the best offense in football? Uh, it's at home in Chicago.

Uh, good weather in Chicago.

The Vikings are gonna blitz him all day, and if he blitz all day and that offense is good, they are gonna put up another big number, and if they do, Bears hype train, that's one of those feels like a blue moon when the Bears are actually good and that town gets hyped over it.

And we will start alphabetical order, as we always do.

We will start with the Chicago Bulls, who hired Tiago Splitter, drafted Caleb Wilson and Dalyn Swain, extended Zach Collins for some reason, traded for Nick Claxton, and signed Norman Powell.

Their over under is 28 and a half wins this season.

Mo, what are you most excited about when it comes to the Chicago Bulls this year? I will be shocked if we don't have the exact same thing.

Obviously, he then goes out and gets another job, and deserved another job.

So I'm very excited for, for what he brings to the table for this team too.

But I mean, for, for me, I think the obvious thing is just Caleb Wilson.

Like-

Edward Jones, member SIPC.

Both Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis ranked in the top 20 of HoopType's power forward list.

Caleb Wilson who hasn't taken an NBA floor yet.

We're gonna talk about it all, plus more on today's Locked On Bulls.

[upbeat music]

Pat, we got a number of things to talk about.

Jalen Sellers had a very emotional YouTube post that, uh, it was great.

We'll talk about that, but Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis.

Uh, but who are the players you think benefit the most right away?

I think when you talk about acclimation to the NBA, Taj Gibson is gonna be so important to Caleb Wilson.

I think this is a great get, number one, because Taj, uh, is the only person on this staff...

The full staff has been finalized here, and I'm sure we'll talk about it in totality.

They're going to do everything they can to make sure that the new kid who was a fourth overall pick don't put up 20 on me.

And so how do you make up for that? You're gonna have to be really solid defensively, and I think Taj is gonna help with that.

At the same time, um, you know, everybody keeps giving Caleb Wilson this, you know, young KG moniker, young Ticket, Little Ticket, whatever you wanna call him.

The Ticket had a post game, and I, I think that's the one part that is gonna be interesting to see.

The person who was getting a lot of hype during Summer League is this guy.

His name is Caleb Wilson.

Caleb Wilson had an absolute scorching hot Summer League.

He was well down draft boards, left, right, and center, but he came out all cylinders firing in Summer League.

and he really shot to the attention of a lot of people in fantasy land now caleb wilson is the kind of player that chicago needs uh in the four games in vegas he was 23.5 points a game 7.3 rebounds 2.5 blocks and 41.9 shooting from three now i like him more than the bunzer in fantasy i'll go through like my top five rookies at the end I'll do my top five.

Matty's top five.

We'll do that because he makes my list.

He was elite.

Oh, okay.

Caleb Wilson, 14.

Cam Boozer.

Wow.

I think we'll monitor that situation, but I, On the edges, second level, third level, it's what you want.

Caleb Wilson, excuse me, Virginia Tech transfer in at linebacker, that is what it's supposed to look like.

Devin Tompkins in from USC, that is what it's supposed to look like.

I think they have it on defense, Alabama, for sure.
