Chicago Bulls two-way contract guard Jaylin Sellers is on a beguiling career trajectory in his nascent NBA career.
Undrafted by the end of the 2026 NBA Draft, the three-year NCAA men’s basketball product across three distinct programs (Ball State Cardinals, University of Central Florida Knights, and Providence Friars) signed a two-way contract with the Bulls shortly after the conclusion of the second round of the 2026 NBA Draft.
Sellers put together a tantalizing highlight reel during the Bulls' 2026 summer league stretch of exhibition games. Monday, Sellers made another engaging video contribution when he released an approximately 23-minute YouTube video documenting his pre-draft workout process leading up to his two-way contract offer from the Chicago Bulls.

Viewers of the video should come away with a piqued interest in observing how Sellers' NBA development will progress over his rookie Bulls season.
Documenting the process
Sellers’ video provides an authentic view into the guard’s workout regimen and the emotions that enveloped him leading up to the 2026 NBA draft. Sellers professed a praying faith in his pre-draft process. In this video, you witness the requisite amount of workout time on the court, shooting jump shots, doing lay-up drills, and defensive possessions against his little brother.
What makes this video compelling is the endearing combination of Sellers' emotional revelations about his journey to the NBA, along with the footage of the work he puts into evolving into an NBA basketball player, packaged together with the human element of the people who are within Sellers’ support system.
There’s Randy, Sellers’ strength and conditioning coach. Sellers’ draft party memorialized lost figures in his life. Sellers’ mother was prominently at the center of Sellers’ draft party. Friends and family surrounded Sellers with love, praise, and gifts.
The humanity of Sellers' draft party is profound within the combination of not just Sellers’ individual celebration of his NBA Draft candidacy but a full communal celebration of Sellers, mixed with the wrought agony of him witnessing 60 names selected in the 2026 NBA Draft that were not Jaylin Sellers, at a party full of people who care about him.
Creative resolution is beautifully articulated in the video when Sellers receives a phone call after the conclusion of the 2026 NBA Draft. On the other end of that phone call is Chicago Bulls vice president of player personnel, Acie Law. The message is straightforward: the Chicago Bulls want to offer Jaylin Sellers a two-way contract. No more agony; only excitement bursts from the party.
