Spin: The rookie led Chicago's starting five in minutes and points, although he also committed a game-high five turnovers. Through three exhibition contests, Wilson is averaging 28.7 minutes, 17.7 points, 3.7 boards, 2.3 assists and 2.0 threes while shooting 47.6 percent from the floor and 31.6 percent from beyond the arc, as he prepares for a significant role in the rotation to begin his NBA career.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Wilson is a big forward with explosive athleticism that was in the conversation to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA draft before injury shortened his lone collegiate season. Wilson recovered from injury in time to play in the Las Vegas Summer League and unveil a previously unseen 3-point shot. He already projected to produce strong defensive and rebound numbers, as well as scoring in the lane, but the added 3-point range opens Wilson's entire game and makes him a potential fantasy impact player as a rookie.
