The Chicago Bulls are now 1-2 in Summer League play after defeating the Washington Wizards, 99-87.
It was once again the Caleb Wilson show in Las Vegas.
Less than 24 hours after putting up 19 points, eight rebounds, five blocks and two steals against the Jazz, the No. 4 overall pick logged another great performance at the NBA Summer League. He finished with 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists and a block in the Bulls' 99-87 win over the previously undefeated Wizards on Tuesday night.
The victory was Chicago's first of the Summer League, improving the team's record to 1-2. After Tiago Splitter coached the Bulls' first two games, director of player development Austin Dufault served as Chicago's coach against Washington.
As Wilson showed off his skill set, his fellow first-round draftee struggled to find the same success. Dailyn Swain missed all nine of his shots against Utah on Monday, then went 0-of-7 from the floor with two points in Chicago's win over the Wizards.
Two-way guard Jaylin Sellers starred in his highest-scoring Summer League game yet. The former Providence Friar — who led the Big East in scoring last season — went off for 24 points on 7-of-12 shooting and three assists. Undrafted rookie Donovan Atwell connected on six of his 12 three-pointers for 19 points.
Noa Essengue chipped in eight points and seven rebounds off the bench. He shot 3-of-5 from the floor.

The Bulls missed their first two shots and turned the ball over three times, including a Swain giveaway that turned into a fastbreak dunk.
It was a slow and messy first quarter, full of fouls and frequent stops. Neither team was able to find much momentum, but Caleb Wilson finally got on the board toward the end of the period. The rookie bodied his defender in transition on the way to the cup for his first points, then Sellers took a steal for a dunk of his own to cut the deficit to 21-15 after one.
Wilson's physicality spurred a Bulls run in the early second quarter. He used his size to rise up for a putback, then threw down another dunk on the ensuing possession.
Both teams struggled to find the bottom of the net until Atwell knocked down a deep triple to tie the game at 28. He drilled another shortly after from the right wing, giving Chicago its first lead of the game. Wilson converted on a three-point free throw before the break that put the Bulls up, 37-36.
Chicago game alive from three-point range in the third quarter, making five of its eight triple to take a 66-58 lead. Two of those came from Atwell, while Wilson drilled a step-back three that beat the buzzer for his first three-pointer of the night.
Wilson and Atwell continued their long-range excellence into the fourth, and the Bulls opened up a 17-point advantage less in less than three minutes.
Two-way forward Tobe Awaka managed to finish with 14 points and 10 rebounds after a strong fourth quarter, helping Chicago maintain a healthy margin over Washington.
The Bulls will be back in action on Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers for their penultimate game, set to tip off at 5 p.m. CT.
