Bulls 2nd Round Targets: Could Chicago Find A Hidden Gem?

Published 5 hours ago

Description

🚨 The Chicago Bulls’ draft conversation cannot stop at No. 4 or No. 15 — because pick No. 38 could still become a real opportunity for Bryson Graham to add toughness, size, development upside, and rotation value. 🚨

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down some of his favorite second-round NBA Draft targets for the Bulls, including Tarris Reed Jr., Zuby Ejiofor, Henri Veesaar, and Andrej Stojaković.

Reed brings the type of physical interior presence the Bulls have lacked — a powerful 6-foot-11, 265-pound center who rebounds, screens, finishes through contact, defends with strength, and flashes passing feel. Ejiofor offers toughness, energy, rim protection, rebounding, and play-finishing ability as a strong complementary frontcourt piece. Veesaar brings a different profile as a mobile 7-footer with stretch potential, offensive feel, and long-term developmental upside. Stojaković gives Chicago a wing option with slashing ability, mid-range scoring, defensive versatility, and NBA bloodlines — though the outside shooting remains the biggest question.

Haize also reacts to the report that the Bulls are considering bringing back several members of Billy Donovan’s coaching staff, including the possibility of Wes Unseld Jr. being considered as a head coaching candidate. While Haize is not sold on Unseld as the next Bulls head coach, keeping Unseld and Dan Craig as assistants under the next coach could make sense because of their player development backgrounds.

With Graham building a new front office and the Bulls entering a critical draft cycle, every pick matters. No. 38 may not carry the same hype as No. 4 or No. 15, but this is where smart teams find role players, developmental bigs, energy defenders, and long-term rotation pieces.

Tap in as Haize breaks down which second-round prospects make the most sense for Chicago and what the latest coaching staff rumors could mean for the Bulls’ rebuild.
