Monday, ESPN's Jeremy Woo and Shams Charania assuaged Bulls fans’ anxieties in a report that 2026 NBA Draft prospect, University of North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson, is scheduled to visit the Bulls this week. This report removes the minor cloud of mystery that previously existed when reports emerged on Saturday that Wilson had not held private workouts with any NBA team to-date.

Also, a pleasant detail in the ESPN report is a reference to Wilson being happy with the prospect of being drafted by the Bulls in the 2026 NBA Draft. With the additional news of Tiago Splitter winning the Bulls head coach job, everything appears to be turning up Milhouse for Bulls front office lead executive, Bryson Graham’s early stages of his rebuild.
Visualizing the Bulls’ journey from today to Jun 23rd
The Bulls have already been active in hosting workouts with other 2026 NBA Draft prospects, which should inform their decision-making around the 15th overall draft pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Critical to that decision-making is first whether the Bulls will stay at 15 or look for avenues to move up to a higher first-round draft pick.
The mere optics of the Bulls looking for trade-up opportunities in the 2026 NBA Draft would suggest their draft strategy is centered on acquiring the highest upside talent with both first-round picks in their possession.
Worth noting, the Bulls also own the 38th and 56th overall draft picks in the 2026 NBA Draft second round. Hopefully, Graham’s draft war room will either have a deep board to take a big swing on second-round prospects, or perhaps those second-round picks may fuel a draft-night trade if the right opportunity presents itself to the Bulls.
After six seasons of largely painful miscues in the Bulls’ draft process, Bulls fans should hold a strong sense of optimism for the direction of the franchise, given the assets at the Bulls' disposal for the 2026 NBA Draft.
It appears that all the circumstances are lining up to make Caleb Wilson the first foundational Bulls roster addition by the Graham-led Bulls front office. Once the draft wraps up, Bulls fans will likely have one of the more exciting NBA Las Vegas Summer League runs to watch as the new Bulls rookies get their first taste of NBA basketball.
