There's a consensus about what the Chicago Bulls will do with the No. 4 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft — but few have any idea what they'll do at No. 15.
Six draft experts, for instance, have mocked six different prospects to the Bulls in the last two weeks. Confusion reigns.
The real plan remains a mystery. Like a very mysteriously, mysterious mystery, apparently.
No one seems to know how the Bulls will use the No. 15 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft
The aforementioned mock drafts go like this (listed in chronological order):
Christopher Kline, FanSided (5/30): Allen Graves, F, Santa Clara
Graves isn't overly athletic and came off the bench during his lone season at Santa Clara, a school that doesn't exactly churn out NBA prospects. But his analytical profile is off the charts, and he'll likely be on the board at 15.
David Cobb, CBS Sports (6/2): Labaron Philon, G, Alabama
Philon became one of the country's best scorers as a sophomore last season. He's slipping down draft boards and could be an option for the Bulls.
Kevin O'Connor, Yahoo!Sports, (6/5): Cameron Carr, G, Baylor
KOC goes with one of the more common players linked with Chicago at 15. Carr put on a show at the NBA draft combine and projects as a high-level, 3-and-D scorer on the wing.
Ricky O'Donnell, SB Nation (6/8): Kingston Flemings, G, Houston
This mock from O'Donnell is ... interesting. Flemings may not be the guaranteed top-5 pick he was early in the draft process, but the NBA world may explode if he falls all the way to 15.
Adam Finkelstein, CBS Sports (6/9): Jayden Quaintance, C, Kentucky
We wrote this piece on a Quaintance-Wilson frontcourt that would keep coaches, specifically offensive schemers, up at night.
Finklestein makes that a reality here.
Sam Vecenie, The Athletic (6/9): Dailyn Swain, F, Texas
Vecenie is one of the more plugged-in draft gurus, but goes a bit off the board with Swain. The Texas wing fits Chicago's desire to create a roster full of strong, long, athletic and physical (SLAP) players, but he wasn't as productive as you'd hope for in someone going this high.
The Bulls must capitalize on a rare draft opportunity
Whoever the pick ends up being, Chicago's new executive VP of basketball operations, Bryson Graham, has to cash in. He'll never get another opportunity like this — to acquire two of the best players in one of the best drafts of the last decade.
Or, who knows, maybe he'll trade No. 15 to move up and grab another top-10 selection. It's being mentioned more and more as a possibility.
Maybe he feels comfortable with the way his board is falling and trades back a few spots. Maybe he trades it for a proven NBA player who fits his vision.
Whatever, he just can't waste it.
