Marshall Stays, Bulls Seek His Mentor | Chicago Bulls News
Description
Naji Marshall just locked up his future with Dallas, signing a massive 3-year, $50M extension that nearly doubles his previous deal — a reward for his breakout 2025-26 season where he started 47 games and averaged career highs in points, assists, and steals. Now anchoring the Mavericks alongside rookie Cooper Flagg, Marshall’s veteran leadership is proving invaluable. Teams like the Bulls, who are eyeing a similar mentorship model for their own rising star Caleb Wilson, are watching closely — especially since their current vets like Norman Powell have short-term deals and Matas Buzelis could benefit from Marshall’s guidance. With exec Bryson Graham (who helped sign Marshall as an undrafted rookie) now on board, the Bulls may soon follow suit — targeting players like Dailyn Swain or Jaylin Sellers to replicate Marshall’s path to stardom.
