Caleb Wilson posts 30 points, 14 rebounds for Bulls

Caleb Wilson posted 30 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and one three on 10-of-24 shooting and 9-of-11 from the line in 38 minutes as a starter in the Bulls' 124-120 loss to the Wizards on Saturday, October 24.

The 30-point, 14-rebound line shows Wilson is getting heavy usage (28.7%) and big minutes in Chicago's rotation, but his 48.0% true shooting hurts field-goal percentage in nine-category leagues even as the counting stats carry value. In default points scoring his projection sits at 28.2 fantasy points per game, which ranked 126th overall with a Roundup Score of 62.

Caleb Wilson

Through three games this season, including this one, Wilson is averaging 22.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 34.7 minutes per game. He has started every contest and produced two double-digit category nights in the box score. The zero turnovers in this outing were a welcome sight, as were the nine made free throws on 11 attempts.

The Bulls have one game left this week, on Saturday, which is the second night of a back-to-back. Wilson played 38 minutes against Washington, but his 48.0% true shooting drags down efficiency in nine-category formats despite his contributions across the stat sheet. In three games he has averaged 22.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 34.7 minutes, shooting at 48.0% true shooting with 28.7% usage.

What to do

• Hold Wilson in both formats and monitor whether his shooting efficiency improves over the next few games.

• Start Wilson in points leagues where his counting stats and usage outweigh the poor true shooting.

• In nine-category leagues, consider benching Wilson if you need to protect field-goal percentage, but keep him rostered for his rebounds, steals and blocks.
