Coach Tiago Splitter's Chicago Bulls wrapped up Game 4 of their five-game preseason schedule Wednesday night with a 125-104 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at Forum in Milwaukee, Wis., which included 10 points and four rebounds from first round pick Caleb Wilson. 

Wilson's might was punctuated with a pair of highlight-reel slam dunks including one off a lob from point guard Josh Giddey that showed his All-Star potential. 

Before the game, Wilson spoke to media in an analytical tone as he detailed where he is working to get better ahead of the Bulls' grueling 82-game regular season.

Wilson is learning where he has advantages, and where he's at a disadvantage, on the court ahead of his first ever NBA season, under coach Splitter's staff in the Windy City. 

The Bulls are just days away from their 2026-27 regular season opener on Oct. 21 in Toronto, giving Wilson plenty to think about, and plenty to work on. 

The Bulls rookie forward admitted he needs to work on his strength as he adjusts to the physicality of his opponents in practice and exhibition games. 

"Honestly, like, that's gonna take me getting stronger for me to really adjust to it," Wilson said to Elias Schuster of Sports Illustrated. 

"Being able to be smarter and know that I have leverage over certain people in certain positions, that's something that's really big for me. I mean, boxing out, like not being able to get pushed in the back, being more physical off the hit, like being in the right position."

Wilson showed his self-awareness during the interview, admitting that he is forced to overcompensate at times going up against stronger opponents. 

The Bulls rookie forward is working to get stronger in the weight room, and on the court, in order to handle bigger, stronger opponents, while honing his technique along the way. 

"You have to overcompensate for things when you lack in that department, like I'm not the strongest guy and I know that, and I'm workin' towards it," Wilson said to Schuster. 

"So, I know I have to be in the right position when it's time to box out, I know when it's time to get over a screen I can't be standin' straight up, just stuff like that.

"But the adjustment has been pretty good for me, honestly, I feel like I made lots of steps in the right direction and it can only get better, so I'm just takin' it day by day." 

Wilson's highlight reel plays against the Bucks showed his potential, but the box score pointed to a harsher reality as he turned the ball over four times and tied Jalen Smith for the team lead in person fouls with four. 

Wilson is far from a finished product, and so are the Bulls. Watching the former North Carolina star and NBA rookie's development, along with his teammates' development, will add to the fun as Chicago looks to become contenders again under Splitter.
