Overview
- Bulls executives and coach Tiago Splitter used Media Day on Monday to celebrate Wilson’s work ethic while urging patience for a rookie still learning the NBA.
- Wilson described himself as a “process guy” who will lead by example and not try to “blend in” as he adjusts to pro play.
- He earned All‑Summer League First Team honors after averaging 23.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game in Las Vegas this July.
- The club and Wilson have not settled on a single position or role for him, and coaches say his minutes and responsibilities will evolve with in‑season practices and game play.
- Chicago’s rebuild, with new veterans such as Norman Powell, Nic Claxton and Buddy Hield, sets a development curve for Wilson that will be tested in preseason on Oct. 7 and the regular‑season opener on Oct. 21.
