Caleb Wilson Ties Michael Jordan With 100-Plus Points in First Five Bulls Games

A 104-point start signals early pro readiness that raises questions about whether his scoring will soon translate into more team wins.

Overview

  • Wilson has scored 104 points across his first five NBA games, averaging 20.8 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.
  • In Chicago’s most recent contest he posted 20 points, six rebounds and four assists in a loss to the New York Knicks.
  • Wilson is already functioning as a three-level scorer, attempting roughly 7.2 three-pointers per game while shooting about 41.3 percent overall.
  • The Bulls have a 1-4 record to start the season and gave Wilson heavy early minutes after drafting him in the top five to accelerate his development.
  • Chicago’s upcoming road trip, including a game at Philadelphia next, will be the next chance to see if Wilson’s scoring can have a measurable impact on team results.
