Chicago Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson delivered an impressive performance in his second preseason game despite a 102-100 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. After a slow first half, the No. 4 overall draft pick scored 21 points, including 15 points from beyond the arc on 5-of-11 shooting from three-point range.
