Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

The only way I could see it is if Memphis gets to three and then they stun everyone and take Wilson at three ahead of Boozer because they think Wilson's ceiling is higher.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

But I just don't think we're going to get there.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

I think Caleb Wilson four to Chicago is the lock of locks in this draft.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

I think Bryson with his new found job and being gifted with this to be the fourth pick in a draft and just happen to get that fourth pick in a year in which

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

There are six or seven players, at least in this draft, who reasonably could project to be Hall of Fame-level talents.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

And you're sitting there with four.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

Caleb Wilson, there's a scenario in which he's the best player in this draft.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

It's not the most likely scenario.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

It's also not unthinkable.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

That's a great spot for Chicago to be in.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

And for essentially only the second time since Jordan left, you're going to have a draft pick that injects, like,

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

legitimate optimism into the franchise and they'll have they've obviously got another pick coming in the first round but derrick rose did it and this isn't the number one pick and it won't reach the rose type of levels as when the year that he was drafted you know more than a decade and a half ago but the caleb wilson injection is going to really bring a lot of um a lot of overdue stimulation from that fan base over what the bulls could be because caleb wilson

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

is wired to be a ridiculous competitor.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

He might be the best overall athlete in the draft as well, and if it all hits, then he can develop an all-around three-level scoring kind of game in addition to improving his defense and being an upper echelon defender in the NBA.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

Yeah, the Bulls are sitting pretty.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

They got none of the pressure.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

You take Wilson at four, hope that he becomes a reliable all-star, and hopefully you build around him in the years to come.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

No, because I actually think that he is going to develop a reliable perimeter shot.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

He's never going to be a guy who's shooting 40% from three-point range, and they won't ask him to.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Matt Norlander: Caleb Wilson would 'inject legitimate optimism' into Bulls (Hour 2)

And yes, you're going to get to points where you're nitpicking.
