On Caleb Wilson: "In the open court, he was down the court in three dribbles. It felt like a college version of Giannis [Antetokounmpo]. Is he a finished product? Absolutely not, but that's what's exciting. His skills can still develop. He's just scratching the surface, but his combination of positional size, length, athleticism, ball skills, I was blown away." (ESPN)
