🚨 DRAFT LOTTERY DAY IS ALMOST HERE… AND THE CHICAGO BULLS’ FUTURE COULD CHANGE FAST 🚨

The Bulls are entering one of the biggest moments of the offseason as the NBA Draft Lottery arrives tomorrow. Chicago could jump into the top 4, stay around No. 9, or slide back — but either way, this draft gives Bryson Graham his first real chance to add a major piece to the Bulls’ new foundation 👀🔥

And one name Bulls fans need to talk about?

Yaxel Lendeborg.

Is Lendeborg the type of high-floor, plug-and-play prospect the Bulls should target at No. 9? The 6’9”, 240-pound forward brings a powerful mix of:

💪 Physicality

📏 7’4” wingspan

🛡️ 1-through-5 defensive versatility

🧠 High basketball IQ

🎯 Improved floor spacing

🤝 Connector passing

🔥 Winning mentality

🏀 High motor and toughness

Lendeborg may be older at 23 on draft night, but his defensive impact, offensive versatility, rebounding, passing, and ability to fit into winning basketball make him one of the most interesting Bulls draft targets on the board.

Haize breaks down whether his high floor should make him the pick — or if Chicago needs to swing bigger under Graham.

PLUS…

The Bulls coaching search could have more quality options than fans realize. From Sean Sweeney, Sam Cassell, and Chris Quinn to Johnnie Bryant, Tiago Splitter, and Rajon Rondo, Chicago should have real candidates available. Graham has already made it clear that the next Bulls coach must be smart, high-character, capable on both sides of the ball, and able to develop players.

We also talk about Michael Reinsdorf’s apology to Bulls fans, why it was good to hear, why it created some hope… and why years of Bulls disappointment still make it hard to fully trust ownership until actions follow the words 😬

Then we get into your voicemails on Josh Giddey, why real change still has to happen, Graham’s early approval from fans, second-round draft strategy, and whether the Bulls finally have someone with a real vision.
