A game that makes you see this kid chasing Jordan in a new light.

Once the top four selections of this year's draft completed their first Summer League games, the common view was that the "Four Kings" truly deserved their title—not a single one let anyone down. The first and second picks exhibited their natural gifts, the third pick Boozer revealed a poise far surpassing his age, and the fourth pick Wilson reintroduced himself to the world.

35 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 3 blocks, shooting 12-of-21 from the field and 7-of-11 from three—that was Wilson's debut stat line. The 35 points set a new record for a Summer League debut, but when asked about it afterward, Wilson simply said, "But we lost."

At first, when he hit a three-pointer, I was surprised—wasn't he supposed to be unable to shoot from mid-to-long range? But then he kept knocking down threes, even step-back deep threes, completely overturning everyone's expectations.

Late in the game, with the Bulls trying to rally, Wilson again drained two difficult three-pointers in a row. It was no longer a question of whether he could shoot threes; Wilson had turned them into a regular weapon and was brimming with confidence.

During his freshman season, over 24 games, Wilson made a total of 7 three-pointers with a 25.9% accuracy—low volume, low productivity, and poor accuracy. Yet in his very first NBA-style game, he shot 7-of-11 from deep, completely shredding his scouting report.

In the scouting report, he was labeled an interior power forward, with comparisons to early-career Blake Griffin, Shawn Kemp, and Kevin Garnett—players with outstanding athleticism. He stands 2.06m (notably shorter than the previously reported 2.10m+), weighs 96 kg, and has a 2.13m wingspan. Though labeled as an inside player, his physique is similar to that of No.1 pick Dybantsa, but in public perception, Wilson is an interior player while Dybantsa is a forward.

In his freshman year, Wilson averaged 19.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game, shooting 57.8% from the field, 25.9% from three, and 71.3% from the free-throw line.

Wilson is a beastly interior player—explosive, dynamic, and agile, capable of easily dunking at rim level. On defense, he can guard multiple positions, switch onto the perimeter, and protect the rim, applying his athleticism effectively.

His shooting consistency was poor, lacking reliable outside scoring ability, and his touch came and went, especially in terms of three-point volume and accuracy. But now it appears Wilson wasn't incapable of shooting threes; he was simply following the strategy his coach had set for him.

Wilson said, "College basketball is very different from the NBA. My coaches in college always told me not to shoot threes. In college, I just used my athleticism and created opportunities for my teammates—I was really good at that. In the NBA, I have more freedom to do what I want, which wasn't possible in college."

If Wilson is going to play inside, 96 kg is still too light, but if he starts playing on the perimeter, that weight isn't particularly small.

During college, Wilson suffered fractures in his left arm and right finger, causing him to miss the final stretch of the regular season and the NCAA tournament. The Summer League was his first time on the court in five months, and he even shed tears beforehand. His school, North Carolina, was eliminated in the first round of the tournament without him, leading to the head coach's firing. Wilson said it was all his fault.

Wilson also revealed that after being drafted by the Bulls, he now completes 2,000 to 2,500 practice shots every day without deliberately changing his shooting motion. He couldn't maintain such a high-intensity training load in college because he also had classes. Now playing basketball is his job—that's the advantage of entering the NBA.

Wilson is definitely a gym-rat type of player. In college, when he broke his left hand, he continued training with his right. After the injury, he was desperate to return to the court, and ultimately, being ruled out for the season left him deeply frustrated and self-blaming.

One thing not mentioned in the scouting report is Wilson's valuable ability to learn. His shooting in college was indeed insufficient, but within a few months, he turned the three-pointer into a regular weapon. Such learning and growth capability is truly frightening.

Before his debut, what brought Wilson the most attention was a statement: "I want to be better than Michael. Honestly, I know there's a long way to go, but I'm writing my own story."

A rookie daring to say he wants to surpass Jordan could easily be labeled arrogant, but there is a clear context. After being drafted by the Bulls, Wilson came to the United Center, looked up at the Jordan statue, and planted the ambition to chase Jordan deep in his heart.

He has already set the picture above as his phone wallpaper. He certainly knows the legendary story behind that statue, but Wilson is ready to embrace his own narrative.
