Caleb Wilson made his Chicago Bulls Summer League debut unforgettable.The Bulls may have dropped their first Las Vegas Summer League game to the Memphis Grizzlies, but the No. 4 overall pick gave fans exactly what they wanted to see. Caleb Wilson erupted for 35 points, shooting 12-of-21 from the field and a ridiculous 7-of-11 from three-point range, while also adding 5 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals. The biggest question about Wilson entering the NBA was the jumper — and in one game, he matched his entire UNC three-point make total from last season.Haize breaks down why Wilson's debut was more than just a hot shooting night, how he outplayed No. 3 pick Cam Boozer, and what still needs to improve after a six-turnover performance.Plus, the show dives into Dailyn Swain's rough first outing, why his on-ball role may have made things harder, and why Bulls fans should not panic after one Summer League game. Haize also reacts to Noa Essengue's strong defensive flashes after finishing with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 2 steals, and explains what each young Bull needs to show in Game 2 against the Utah Jazz.

0:00 ... Open animation ... Ross Geiger welcome and introduces co-hosts Bruce Bernstein and Michael "World B" Freer. 0:33 ... Show #164 is dedicated to Phoenix guards Jalen Green and Bradley Beal, both of whom stand 6-4. 0:52 ... Norman Powell is traded to Miami, John Collins is traded to the Clippers, and Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson go to Utah ... we'll discuss the deal from the perspective of all three teams. Everyone agrees that Miami won this trade. 6:37 ... Kevin Durant is finally in Houston after an historic 7 team trade. Besides the Rockets and Suns, five other teams get spare parts and second round picks while Houston moves closer to OKC in the west and Phoenix "embraces the rebuild." 9:58 ... The Rockets made another significant trade, sending Cam Whitmore to Washington where he will have a chance to play near his Maryland home. The Wizards have made some bold moves and Bruce thinks they may be this year's version of the Pistons who could double their win total of 18 from last season. 14:28 ... What is Bradley Beal's future in Phoenix? Bruce thinks he could be a dynamic 6th man for a good team since whichever team picks him up after his buyout in Phoenix will not be paying him max money since Phoenix will be paying most of his salary. 20:53 ... The Pacers lost Myles Turner, who signed with Milwaukee as a free agent but they acquired Jay Huff from Memphis. Standing 7-1, he's not a great shot blocker or rebounder but makes 40% of his three point attempts. It will be his 5th team in 5 seasons. 24:02 ... Paolo Banchero signed a huge rookie max extension on Monday with Orlando for 5 years and almost $240 million. There will be great expectations with all Orlando's young stars signed to long-term deals. 26:22 ... Jaxson Hayes re-signs with the Lakers after being benched in the 2025 playoffs which is somewhat surprising. Will he have a good relationship with LA coach JJ Redick? It should be an interesting storyline moving forward. 29:46 ... The Knicks have officially locked up Mike Brown as their next head coach. Everyone likes the hire and his style should work well with a mature veteran team that won't mind being challenged. 32:07 ... Summer League action is underway and some of the young guys are impressing everyone right out of the gate. VJ Edgecombe of Philly scored 28 in his debut and could make an immediate impact for the 76ers. Ace Bailey of Utah had an uneven debut but showed ability at both ends of the court. 36:33 ... Nikola Topic of OKC finally made his debut on Saturday and had 14 points against Memphis. Finding minutes as a rookie with the defending champs won't be easy, but Topic has the goods to make it in the NBA. 39:08 .... The Memphis Grizzlies have a loaded Summer League roster with three rotation players participating. Ross predicts they'll be the Summer League champions. 42:31 ... It's time for the Classic Card Challenge where Bruce pulls random cards of former players and quizzes Ross and World B. Those dudes show serious knowledge and a great sense of NBA history. 51:05 ... Final Thoughts ..... Bruce on Jonas Valanciunas, who was traded from New Orleans to Denver but is trying to bolt for a Euroleague team in Greece. Bruce has always admired Valanciunas but this move shows that winning an NBA title just isn't that important to him. 52:26 ... World B on James Wiseman, who signed a one year deal with Indiana after missing last season with an achilles injury. World B is rooting for him in his comeback. 54:03 ... Ross feels the Las Vegas Summer League will be spectacular this month. 54:56 ... Ross says goodbye TRT 55:10
