What happened
Caleb Wilson poured in a game-high 35 points in his Summer League debut, but it wasn't enough to beat Cameron Boozer and the Memphis Grizzlies. Wilson was efficient from beyond the arc, knocking down 7 three-pointers in the outing.

The game also marked the first head-to-head meeting between Wilson and Boozer as pros, a matchup evaluators and fans had anticipated given both players were widely tracked as top picks.
By the numbers
Wilson finished with a game-high 35 points on 7 made three-pointers.
What to watch next
