    Bulls FINALLY Have A Direction! Draft Picks, Two-Way Steals & Free Agency Needs

    The 2026 NBA Draft is complete for the Chicago Bulls, and Haize breaks down why this draft may have finally given Chicago a clear direction. After selecting Caleb Wilson at No. 4 and Dailyn Swain at No. 15, the Bulls are no longer looking like a quick veteran patch-job team. This now feels like a long, athletic, defense-first development build centered around size, versatility, and future flexibility. On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize reacts to what the Wilson and Swain pairing brings to the Bulls, how it fits Bryson Graham’s reported “SLAP” profile of size, length, athleticism, and physicality, and why Chicago’s roster now has a clearer shape around Josh Giddey, Rob Dillingham, Matas Buzelis, Noa Essengue, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Nic Claxton, Kam Jones, and more. Haize also breaks down the Bulls’ second-round moves, including the Braden Smith trade to Indiana for Kam Jones, future pick-swap value and cash, plus the No. 56 pick being moved to the Lakers for cash. Did the Bulls make the right call by avoiding four rookies, or did they miss a chance to add cheap shooting and center depth? The episode also covers Chicago’s two-way signings of Tobe Awaka and Jaylin Sellers, what each player brings to the Bulls’ developmental system, and the biggest roster needs still remaining after the draft. Plus, Haize looks at the best veteran free agent fits for the Bulls, including Luke Kennard, Quentin Grimes, De’Anthony Melton, Keon Ellis, Robert Williams III, Precious Achiuwa, Landry Shamet, and Bruce Brown. 📌 Topics: Caleb Wilson drafted No. 4 by the Chicago Bulls Dailyn Swain drafted No. 15 by the Chicago Bulls Bulls trade Braden Smith draft rights to Indiana Kam Jones fit in Chicago Tobe Awaka and Jaylin Sellers two-way deals Bulls’ biggest needs after the draft Best Bulls free agent targets Chicago’s new identity under Tiago Splitter and Bryson Graham Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPod Get at us: Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.com Twitter:@BullsCentralPod Phone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  2. Bulls Sign Jaylin Sellers & Tobe Awaka To Two-Way Deal! Chicago Found A Draft Night Steals?

    Bulls Sign Jaylin Sellers & Tobe Awaka To Two-Way Deal! Chicago Found A Draft Night Steals?

    The Chicago Bulls are adding more scoring upside after the NBA Draft, signing Providence guard Jaylin Sellers to a two-way deal. On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down what Sellers brings to Chicago, why his shooting and shot creation could matter, and how this move fits into the Bulls’ bigger roster direction after drafting Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain. Sellers was one of the most productive scorers in the Big East, giving Chicago another guard/wing option with size, shooting touch, and offensive confidence. But is this just a Windy City Bulls development move, or could Sellers push for real minutes if the Bulls’ roster stays in transition? The Chicago Bulls are adding more size, toughness, and rebounding to the organization as Arizona forward Tobe Awaka has reportedly signed a two-way deal with Chicago, per 247Sports. On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down what Awaka brings to the Bulls, why his physical profile matters, and how this signing fits into Chicago’s new direction after the NBA Draft. Awaka gives the Bulls a hard-nosed frontcourt piece who can rebound, finish inside, bring energy, and compete defensively. After averaging over nine rebounds per game at Arizona, he enters Chicago’s system as a two-way developmental player with a chance to carve out a role if his motor, strength, and defensive impact translate. Haize also reacts to what this signing says about the Bulls’ front office, the team’s need for shooting, two-way roster flexibility, and whether Chicago is finally targeting players who fit the modern NBA.

    How The Bulls Can Build A Monster Young Core In Draft | How Nic Claxton Changes Bulls

    he Chicago Bulls have acquired Nic Claxton from the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade, finally adding an athletic, switchable center to their rebuilding roster! 🐂🔥 On today’s Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down how Claxton’s rim protection, screening, vertical spacing and improved passing could help Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Rob Dillingham and Chicago’s next wave of young talent. But this trade also changes the Bulls’ entire 2026 NBA Draft strategy. Haize unveils his final dream Bulls draft board: ⭐ No. 4: Caleb Wilson 🎯 No. 15: Cameron Carr ⚡ No. 38: Trevon Brazile 💪 No. 56: Keyshawn Hall Could Wilson become Chicago’s future two-way star? Is Carr now the essential shooter alongside Giddey, Wilson and Claxton? Can Brazile become a versatile defensive weapon? Could Hall provide second-unit strength, shooting and creation? Plus, the Bulls still have approximately $30 million in cap space. Should Bryson Graham absorb unwanted contracts for future assets or add veterans who can support Tiago Splitter’s young roster? Chicago finally has a roster with a recognizable identity, but the rebuild is far from finished. 👀 🎙️ Hosted by Haize 🐂 Your No. 1 spot for everything Chicago Bulls related!

    Bulls Draft Sleepers REVEALED 👀 Second-Round Targets Who Fit Chicago’s Rebuild

    The Chicago Bulls are entering a critical 2026 NBA Draft with a new front office vision, a new head coach in Tiago Splitter, and a rebuild that needs more than just star upside at the top of the draft. On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down his favorite second-round prospects who could fit what Bryson Graham and the Bulls are trying to build. Could Baba Miller become a long-term defensive upside swing? Does Trevon Brazile offer the exact length, athleticism, weak-side rim protection and stretch flashes Chicago needs? Could Zuby Ejiofor bring the toughness, rebounding and dirty-work identity the Bulls have lacked? Is Ryan Conwell the type of hard-nosed shooter who could help space the floor? And could Keyshawn Hall be an overlooked scoring option with real offensive upside? Haize also dives into the mailbag, including thoughts on Noa Essengue’s overlooked upside, the conversation around Matas Buzelis as a key rebuild piece, what Tiago Splitter’s player-development system could look like, and why the Bulls need “structured patience” instead of forcing a desperate home-run move too early. If you’re locked into the Chicago Bulls rebuild, the 2026 NBA Draft, Bryson Graham’s SLAP profile, Tiago Splitter’s coaching philosophy, and the future of Matas Buzelis, Noa Essengue, Josh Giddey and the young core, this episode is for you.
