Bulls Looking To Make Move In 2026 Draft and Potential Targets

Offensively, Wilson is capable of being more than just a lob threat. The 19-year-old can get to the rim and has shown the ability to score at the mid-post, with turnaround jumpers being his bread and butter. He is also an outstanding offensive rebounder with some face-up potential. However, his jumper still needs work.

Meanwhile, Boozer, if he somehow falls out of the top three, is the ideal fit for the Bulls, or for the Bulls if they move up in the draft. Multiple outlets previously reported that the Bulls have been in contact with the Washington Wizards about the No. 1 overall pick.  Boozer’s combination of strength, touch, IQ, and versatility is exactly what the teams lack.  The Duke product can be a primary or secondary scorer. During the NBA combine, he said he wouldn’t mind playing in Chicago.

The Bulls are Seriously Considering Trading the No. 4 or No. 15 Picks

However, neither Boozer nor Wilson has gone through individual workouts with the Bulls. Moreover, the Bulls have been focusing most of their workouts on guards. Thus, begging the question whether the Bulls are interested in moving down from the No. 4 pickand/orr up from the No. 15 selection.

One of the guards who has worked out recently for the Bulls is Darius Acuff Jr, who is projected to be a top-8 pick, per Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman. Acuff was at the Bulls facility yesterday.

Darius Acuff Jr. is in Chicago today working out for the Bulls, per source. Worked out for the Nets on Wednesday and has the Jazz and Bucks next. Lot of scenarios in play for Acuff as a potential top-5 pick and trade up/back target.

Acuff had one of the most productive freshman seasons by a guard in NCAA history, as he could score from anywhere. He is very skilled and doesn’t make many mistakes. However, there are questions about his defense. Keaton Wagler, Kingston Flemings, and Mikel Brown Jr. are other guards who don’t project to be around by the time the Bulls make their second pick at No. 15.  Nate Ament and Morez Johnson Jr. are bigs who are projected mid-first-round picks who have also worked out for the team.

“Should be a great Draft night,” Smith said when answering whether the Bulls are considering trading No. 4 or No. 15 picks. The latter part seems due diligence since you never know who’ll suddenly begin to fall, as Matas did to 11 when a week before that 2024 Draft he supposedly was a sure top five; maybe seven, but not likely. Just about every mock draft has Caleb Wilson to the Bulls at No. 4. “The wild card, to me, is Utah at No. 2, in part because it’s also Danny Ainge, who has a history of Draft Day surprises. The Jazz have tanked themselves to a heck of a talented roster,” Smith continued.
