Three takeaways from Caleb Wilson’s first NBA regular season game
Former Tar Heel Caleb Wilson debuted for the Chicago Bulls on Oct. 21, 2026, posting 16 points, four rebounds, three steals, a block and nine turnovers, but a franchise‑worst –45 plus/minus stole the headlines.

The piece argues the plus/minus is misleading and previews how Wilson can grow with better support and pacing.
