Caleb Wilson is becoming a superstar right before our eyes. After dropping 35 points in his NBA Summer League debut, the Chicago Bulls draftee threw down a ferocious slam dunk yesterday against the Utah Jazz.<\/p>\n
Darryn Peterson’s reaction was priceless. The Jazz’s No. 2 overall pick didn’t play last night, but he watched the action from the bench and had no words after Wilson’s high-flying jam. Wilson blew right by Matt Cleveland before throwing down a tomahawk slam over Jonas Aidoo.<\/p>\n
The top four 2026 NBA Draft prospects were considered a generational bunch. Peterson and Wilson have thoroughly impressed in Summer League, as have AJ Dybantsa and Cameron Boozer on the Washington Wizards and Memphis Grizzlies, respectively.<\/p>\n
Peterson and Dybantsa recently faced off in a star-studded Summer League affair, and after Wilson’s big dunk, anticipation is only rising for the first Jazz vs. Bulls regular-season duel.<\/p>\n
