Derrick Rose Sees HIMSELF In Caleb Wilson?! Bulls ROY Hype Is Getting REAL

Derrick Rose just gave Caleb Wilson the kind of co-sign that should have Chicago Bulls fans fired up.

On today’s Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down Derrick Rose’s comments about Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson, including Rose saying he sees a little of himself in Wilson’s belief, confidence, and mindset. Rose described Wilson as having the kind of “delusional” confidence elite athletes need — the belief that he can be the No. 1 player — and explained why that is something he respects.

Haize also reacts to Rose’s advice to Wilson about making “gambit” moves, sacrifice, discipline, and staying focused as the No. 4 overall pick begins his rookie journey in Chicago. Wilson honoring Rose with a silver rose pin on draft night only makes the connection even stronger.

Then the conversation turns to the 2026 NBA Rookie of the Year race. Can Caleb Wilson become the fourth Bulls player ever to win ROY, joining Michael Jordan, Elton Brand, and Derrick Rose? After a dominant Summer League and rising odds from FanDuel and DraftKings, Wilson has already become one of the biggest names in the rookie race.

🔥 Topics include:

• Derrick Rose praising Caleb Wilson
• Why “delusional confidence” matters in sports
