The Bulls’ Most Important Night in Years Starts Right Now
Tonight’s the night, Chicago.
The 2026 NBA Draft tips off at 8 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN from Brooklyn’s Barclays Center — and for the first time in a long time, the Bulls aren’t just watching. They’re center stage, holding the 4th and 15th overall picks in a draft loaded with generational talent at the top.
Caleb Wilson going to Chicago is about as close to a lock as the draft has. The one-and-done UNC product is a great athlete with the right mindset, and multiple analysts believe he could ultimately have the best NBA career of anyone in this class. After years of failed retooling, Bryson Graham’s front office is about to hand Tiago Splitter his cornerstone.
Then there’s pick 15. The Bulls are linked to Cameron Carr, a wing with explosive athleticism and shotmaking upside — exactly the kind of player Chicago needs after acquiring Nic Claxton to anchor the frontcourt.
The Bulls hold a league-high four picks total tonight and tomorrow — Nos. 4, 15, 38, and 56. That’s not a draft. That’s a foundation.
The rebuild is real. Tonight, it gets a name.
