Description

🚨 THE CHICAGO BULLS’ DRAFT LOTTERY MOMENT IS HERE — AND BRYSON GRAHAM’S NEW ERA COULD CHANGE FAST. 🚨

The Bulls enter the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery sitting in the No. 9 lottery slot, but there is still a real chance Chicago gets lucky and jumps into the top 4. After moving on from the previous front office and handing the keys to Bryson Graham, the Bulls are starting with a cleaner slate built around young pieces like Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis — but lottery luck could accelerate the entire rebuild.

Chicago’s odds:

🎲 No. 1 pick: 4.50%

🎲 No. 2 pick: 4.83%

🎲 No. 3 pick: 5.23%

🎲 No. 4 pick: 5.71%

🔥 Top 4 odds: 20.3%

🏀 No. 9 pick: 50.75%

😬 No. 10 pick: 25.88%

👀 No. 11 pick: 3.01%

Haize breaks down what each outcome means for the Bulls and why landing in the top 4 could give Graham access to a franchise-changing prospect like AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, or Caleb Wilson. But even if Chicago stays at No. 9, names like Brayden Burries, Mikel Brown Jr., Labaron Philon Jr., and Aday Mara could still be in play.
