Man, that’s awesome.

It’s clear Wilson knows what it takes to have a winning mentality and bring that to a team. He was the leader for North Carolina right away and there was a big difference in the program when he was on the court compared to when he was hurt. Now, we are sitting here just a month into his Bulls tenure, and that confidence is already showing.

While Wilson is off to a good start in his Summer League debut, he needs to build on it. There are more Summer League games and then preseason games coming for Wilson. They mark another opportunity to show why he can be the best player in the class.
