Friday marked a day that former North Carolina Tar Heels' wing Caleb Wilson had waited months for. And in his first game in the NBA Summer League, he made some history.
Wilson set the NBA Summer League record for most points in his debut, scoring 35 against the Memphis Grizzlies in Las Vegas. Although Chicago lost 97-96, Wilson scored the last six points for the Bulls and hit two straight three-pointers.
The wing got to 35 by doing something he rarely did at North Carolina. He went 7-of-11 from the three-point line, after just attempting 27 in his college career.
For Wilson, he played a total of 33 minutes after starting the game for the Bulls. While it was a struggle from the team as a whole at times, Wilson was a big bright spot.
The game came against a familiar foe as well. Wilson and the Bulls faced off against the No. 3 overall pick Cameron Boozer and the Memphis Grizzlies. The two faced off one time last season with Wilson and UNC beating Boozer and Duke.
It's only one Summer League game but it's a heck of a debut for Wilson.
