The Bulls acknowledged Wilson's accomplishment with a post on social media.
:"Only the beginning for Caleb Wilson," the team wrote.
Wilson burst onto the Summer League scene with a record-breaking 35 points against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 19-year-old prospect out of North Carolina made seven of his 11 3-point attempts in that game, displaying his ability to spread the floor as an athletic, 6-foot-10 forward.

“This is such a great learning experience for me. I'm watching film every night to get better for the next game, and I'm excited for it,” Wilson said of his time in the Summer League. “I'm excited to continue getting better and glad I have this opportunity before the NBA season starts."
Wilson will have an immediate impact as a rookie for the Bulls, who finished the 2025-26 NBA season with a 31-51 record.
