Not really lucked out, we did genuinely suck and the top 3 were already decided essentially. Caleb said it best, when he went up against the top 3 players in this draft you know what he did to them, and he did it again

He’s also not a good defender right now. Has some great highlights and has a high ceiling, but consistency and awareness need to really improve.

Do you guys forgot what the word generational means?

bulls and luck do not belong in the same sentence. We earned this with a decade of mediocrity

the fact that his supposed weakness and reason he slid to 4 was because he has no shot from deep is hilarious

It was one summer league game. Remember when Zion looked like a sniper?

People are so reactive to one summer league game it’s crazy

I want him to pan out too but let’s paddle back a bit, Zion hit his career high in 3-pointers made in his first game, this is summer league. But still the Bulls got a great one can’t wait for them to great again.

Not to be a doubter, but to be fair I remember Zion hitting like 5 threes in a row in his NBA debut.

The reason he slid to 4 is more because of how stacked this draft class was. He’s got a huge ceiling but so do the other guys ahead of him

potentially generational hahaha

Chicago teams from now on should just draft people named Caleb Wil-. Seems to be working well so far

He matched his college career high in threes per season

College hoops has to catch up with the times. We thought Caleb couldn’t shoot, but it might’ve been just a low volume issue. This is scary to see.

A couple of back to back 3s too, he is ultra confident

Yea, it isn’t even just the ⁷⁄₁₁ but how confidently he launched many of them and that they were self-created against a defense expecting it. For a guy who was “clearly” 4th…looked pretty good.

His teammates icing him out was wild. One of the most quintessential Summer League things I have seen. Games like this make you lament how many teams (like mine as well) lack a PG.

6 turnovers, but 5 stocks. 

Not bad for a rookie 6’10” PF having to bring the ball up and create for himself in the half-court without a PG.

Darren “Point Guard” Peterson had a 2 assist 8 turnover game the other day. 

(side note but Pacers fans have to be SICK)

Eh, they’re used to it

Malice in the palace, Hali’s achilles, and now this. Genuinely brutal every time we start to look like we could get there.

Yeah, that’s why I don’t think the NBA has a tanking problem. That only happened this year because teams knew how strong this class was and that next year’s class would be nowhere close. I feel like Silver overreacted to this.

I think it had as much to do with the fact that the biggest tankers this year were teams that got screwed the hardest in the lottery the previous year (Jazz, Wizards, Nets).

IDK about the others but I can guarantee if the Nets got Flagg/Harper the previous season, you could not pay Jordi enough to tank the full season. They’d probably mail it in around the trade deadline and stealth tank the end of the season if we were out of the play-in running but no way they go into the season thinking ping-pong balls first and foremost if we didnt fall all the way to 8th. After that, they just could not take the risk of falling that far down again.

Luckily for us, it seems that even with the 8th and 6th picks we got some damn good talent which just goes to show how strong these drafts were. Kudos to Marks for going out of his way to get our picks back in these drafts rather than hedging his bets on the Phoenix picks we got for KD. Not only did we get some control of our destiny by being able to tank right but we got picks in what were being lauded as very strong classes.

Pacers fans? Bro, Pelicans fans are fucking hanging themselves. Instagram comments could run a team better than Joe Dumars.

I’m not livid at the Zu trade, but I am miffed that we got unlucky and bulls essentially stole our spot

(side note but Pacers fans have to be SICK)

They made it to the Finals two years ago and have a sick team that can actually compete (vs. the Bulls who have one amazing prospect, couple decent prospects and bunch of JAGs), they’ll be just fine lol

the people who love to say “bust!” as fast as possible are not happy right now

Bruh no one said that about this draft class tho, it’s been highly touted for years - I’m just saying the hype already looks to be completely justified and then some even tho it’s only Summer League ball

I mean at least in the Bulls sub people were ready to call Swain a bust because he was forced to play out of position and the team was not expecting the Grizzlies to play full court all night.

Wagler has them covered

Both Caleb’s are going to try to Wil the city of Chicago to competency

Dunno how you can handle it bro, only 6 championships, you must be starving

Jaylin “Cam Thomas” Sellers

I just got done playing 2k rec games with dudes like this and then watch this game to see the same shit lol so infuriating

RIP

One of my biggest sports fandom regrets is not enjoying Stacy more when we had him, made magic out of the Bulls darkest periods. RIP to the legend

Praying it dies in summer league, adds zero benefit for the game.

summer league things. he wanted to show off to guarantee a contract in the nba but obviously backfired for him. gave me antonio blakeney vibes

I don’t think most people realize that Caleb Wilson went to a high school where not that long ago they filled out the basketball team by just having the coach ask the really tall people “you ever thought about playing basketball?”

How do I know? I went there.

Some are saying he’s the best draft pick of all time

This is not true

Damn the records only 27? Lower than I thought

They said it was Anthony Randolph during the game

I was half awake when I wrote that but my point stands lol
