The Chicago Bulls are coming off another disappointing season. The Bulls finished within the play-in tournament but were unable to advance out and make the first round, losing to the eventual Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat. Chicago has just one playoff win total in the past six seasons. You could point to injuries to Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball. You could point to poor roster construction. Either way, the Bulls need to get back on track.
Bulls NBA Summer League roster
They didn’t have any first-round picks in the 2023 NBA Draft due to the Nikola Vucevic trade. Chicago did trade into the second round to take Tennessee wing Julian Phillips. Along with Phillips, last year’s first-round pick Dalen Terry will be the players to watch on Chicago. The Bulls also signed UConn center Adama Sanogo as an undrafted free agent. He helped the Huskies win a National Championship this past season. We know former Huskie Andre Drummond is going to be on the roster. Perhaps Sanogo gets a good look and chance to play in the NBA.
