Caleb Wilson told reporters Friday afternoon that he expects to win NBA Rookie of the Year in his debut season with the Chicago Bulls. Wilson, selected with the fourth overall pick in Tuesday's draft, spoke at an introductory news conference at the team's practice facility. He said the Bulls roster fits the style of play he envisions.
"I expect to have Rookie of the Year, honestly," Wilson said. " Wilson played one season at North Carolina before the draft. He reiterated comments made on draft night that referenced the franchise's history with Michael Jordan, saying the Bulls "have one of the GOATs in y'all history.
The Bulls also introduced Dailyn Swain, taken 15th overall out of Texas. Both players sat with new vice president and head of basketball operations Bryson Graham, who was hired in April. Wilson, who turns 20 next month, missed the NCAA tournament after breaking his thumb in March.
He said his limited sample did not change his view of how he matches up against other top prospects. "I played all of them," Wilson said. " Wilson has stressed his versatility and work ethic since age 14.
He added that he plans to lead by example and help restore the franchise's standing in the city.
