LAS VEGAS — Caleb Wilson found a way to make a big first impression.
The Atlanta native, who was the No. 4 overall pick by the Bulls in last month’s NBA draft, had 35 points, five rebounds, three blocks and two steals in his Summer League debut Friday against the Grizzlies.
That included 7-of-11 shooting on 3-pointers.
It’s the highest-scoring debut in the Las Vegas Summer League since at least 2004.
At 6-foot-10, 211 pounds, Wilson showed his versatility to play on the perimeter and in the post — 5-of-10 inside the arc — but he had six turnovers in 33 minutes of game action for the Bulls, who lost 97-96.
It was one of the marquee matchups of the opening days of the Las Vegas Summer League, pitting Wilson against Cameron Boozer, the No. 3 pick by the Grizzlies.
Boozer finished with 23 points, six assists and four rebounds in 27 minutes.
