When it comes to his game, Wilson was mostly profiled as an athletic wing with upside on both ends of the floor. Most projections for his offense were mostly restricted to the paint or the mid-range, but he has surprised a lot of people with his three-point shooting at Summer League.

Caleb Wilson is glad his apparent lack of shooting got him selected by Chicago

Billed as a high-upside athletic wing, Wilson was always going to be a project player. He is not the most complete player in the class, but he has already proven that he is ready to work hard to become a star for Chicago.

Wilson has been working with the renowned shooting coach, Chris Matthews, better known as Lethal Shooter on social media. They have worked together to improve Wilson's shooting, which was considered by many to be his biggest weakness.

During his year playing for the University of North Carolina, Wilson did not shoot many threes. This led draft experts and scouts to see his shooting as a negative. However, it seems Wilson is glad that happened because it helped him land in Chicago.

"I'm glad I didn't shoot threes in college because if I did, I wouldn't be here. I don't know where I'd be. I don't think I'd be a Bull," Wilson said about how his apparent shooting issues helped him reach Chicago.

While Wilson was not a promising shooter back then, he had the bones of being one. The shooting form was always mechanically good, which is why working with Matthews has helped him, because they optimized his jump shot.

Now, Wilson looks even better than he did as a prospect. He is only entering his rookie year, but he has the right attitude with improving his game, which is a big plus for a rebuilding team like the Bulls.

About 12 minutes later, another caller reported that the suspect had grabbed a young girl and attempted to pull her away from her mother.

Officers then responded to the scene and found the nude suspect swimming nearby in the Willamette River.

The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Daniel Vasey, was arrested and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges of first and second-degree attempted kidnapping, first-degree custodial interference, third-degree assault and harassment.

Police said the 7-year-old girl was not seriously injured. She was checked by paramedics at the scene and treated for scratches, but she was not transported by ambulance to a hospital.

An investigation revealed that Vasey grabbed the girl's arm and that her parents and bystanders stepped in to prevent him from taking her, police said.

The girl's mother grabbed her other arm and tried to prevent Vasey from taking her daughter, and the struggle over the girl was so significant that she was lifted off the ground.

The child's father and bystanders also jumped in and punched, slapped and pulled on the suspect, causing him to release the girl. One bystander used pepper spray on him in an effort to keep him away from people.

The young girl and her family told officers that they were tourists visiting Portland from out of state.
