Caleb Wilson on his early impressions of Tiago Splitter “First, he has a big accent. He’s really detailed. And he’s pretty serious. You have coaches that are joking around and stuff like that, Tiago’s pretty serious. He knows what he wants, he wants it now.” — 7/6/2026

Sharing a motto instilled in him by his father, Wilson said: “If you’re sleeping in, somebody’s working.” “It's all worth it in the end, to have the lifestyle we have, and to have the ability to do the things and see the things were able to see," he further explained. — 7/5/2026

Before Caleb Wilson became a basketball superstar, his heart actually belonged to another sport — baseball. Speaking with PEOPLE exclusively ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft in New York City on June 23, the athlete, 19, said of basketball, "It actually wasn't my favorite sport at first. It was baseball." "My dad inspired me to do it," he continued, referring to his father, Jerry Wilson. "I played a lot of sports when I was younger, but basketball is what I stuck with." — 7/5/2026

The expected dose of naïveté is absent, though. He’s measured and thoughtful. He’s thought through the pathways toward his goals. He understands the process necessary for a rookie about to undergo the throes of a rebuild: the monotony, the midseason walls.
“I know it’s a different game, and I know development isn’t linear, but I got everything I need to be great, honestly,” Wilson said. “I’m extremely athletic. I have a game that translates to the NBA well. Everything that I need to work on is stuff that I can actually work on. “It’s not something that God has to give me, ’cause he’s given me everything I need.” — 6/27/2026

The implication of Caleb Wilson’s widely anticipated availability at the Bulls’ selection is that no matter the shuffle of the picks preceding him, Wilson was always staring upward at AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson and Cameron Boozer. That, in a draft of four-star bets, Wilson was always fourth.
Wilson does not run on resentment, but he’ll take any chance he gets to make a statement. “I mean, I played all of them, though,” Wilson said. “You know what happened when I played them, so it doesn’t really matter. I don’t really care about the media. I’m a competitor.
And I get to play in the summer league, too, so whatever needs to be done to prove that I’m on the same level, or that I’m better, we’ll do it.” — 6/27/2026

Tracy: “If you have a center like Zack Edey, who is slow-footed on the defensive side of the ball, you need your power forward to be able to cover some ground for him defensively. I think you could have two guys in your front court that are slow-footed, can't really cover that much ground. So, when you're playing a team like OKC or San Antonio, who can spread you out with shooters. They can't cover that ground.” Vince: “You need more of an athletic big for that pick. So, Caleb Wilson fits that mold a little better than that one.”
Tracy: “That's what I feel. I don't think it's a bad pick because of the player. I don't think he fits what they already have there. I would love to see a more athletic, long, lanky type guy that can stretch the floor and cover Zack Edey on the defensive end.” — 6/25/2026
