Bulls' Caleb Wilson: Adjusting to NBA practices
Wilson is acclimating to NBA practices, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.
"Honestly, my first two days, it seemed like everything was moving so fast because you're going against NBA talent and everybody's athletic, and the gaps close really fast. But now, it's way more chill. [Friday] was a really good day for me," Wilson said. After Wilson was selected by the Bulls with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the rookie forward is expected to be thrust into a big role immediately and is being treated as a mid-round player in most fantasy drafts.

Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Likely to play big role
Okoro is expected to play significant minutes this season, with head coach Tiago Splitter calling him Chicago's "best perimeter defender," Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Splitter praised Okoro's physicality, relentlessness and ability to navigate screens while stating that the veteran wing will "definitely" play a lot. Okoro's defensive value should provide him with a consistent path to playing time even within a deep Bulls rotation, though his offensive role could remain relatively modest.

Bulls' Isaiah Stevens: Signs on with Chicago
Stevens signed a contract with the Bulls on Thursday.
Stevens was waived by Sacramento in July, but he's since earned another opportunity after putting pen to paper on a deal with Chicago. He's been unable to catch on at the NBA level so far in his young career, and he's likely destined to begin the 2026-27 season in the G League.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Clean bill of health
Smith said Thursday he is 100 percent healthy after a lingering calf issue ended last season early, per Will Gottlieb of CHGO Bulls.
Smith got a chance to start for the Bulls at times in 2025-26 as they searched for Nikola Vucevic's replacement, averaging 12.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.8 blocks in 24.6 minutes per tilt across 21 regular-season games as a starter last season. Now that Claxton is in the picture, Smith appears primed to revert to the No. 2 center role in 2026-27, which could cap his upside from a fantasy perspective. Availability has also been a concern for Smith throughout his career, as he's never reached the 70-game mark in any of his first six seasons and couldn't finish last year with the aforementioned calf problem.

Bulls' Jalen Bridges: Signed by Chicago
Bridges agreed to a contract with the Bulls on Wednesday.
The terms of the contract weren't made public, though it's likely a camp deal for Bridges. The 25-year-old went undrafted in 2024. Since then, he has mostly played in the G League. However, Bridges has some NBA experience, logging eight games with the Suns during the 2024-25 campaign and averaging 1.1 points in 3.8 minutes per contest.

Bulls' Dailyn Swain: Ready for training camp
Head coach Tiago Splitter expected all of the Bulls to practice for the start of training camp Monday, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.
Swain missed the Summer League finale with wrist soreness but sounds to be ready to go for the start of camp. The rookie first-rounder is set to battle with Isaac Okoro and Patrick Williams for playing time on the wing as a reserve to begin the year.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: To have more freedom offensively
Buzelis expects to have more offensive freedom this season and said he focused on becoming more physical and attacking the rim during the offseason, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
The 21-year-old felt he attempted too many three-pointers last season, when 51.4 percent of his field-goal attempts came from beyond the arc, and he wants to incorporate more mid-range opportunities into his game. Buzelis also prioritized adding weight and strength, which could help him play through contact as he looks to build upon his 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per game from the 2025-26 regular season.

Bulls' Zach Collins: Managing soft tissue injury
Head coach Tiago Splitter said Monday that Collins (toe) is dealing with a soft tissue injury and isn't expected to practice Tuesday, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Collins' 2025-26 season was cut short after he underwent surgery in February due to a sprained toe on his right foot. It's unclear if the current soft tissue injury is related to the toe, but the big man's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Chicago's preseason opener against Phoenix on Wednesday, Oct. 7. If he's forced to miss time to start the regular season, Jalen Smith would have a much clearer path to playing time behind Nic Claxton.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Cleared for camp
Giddey (ankle) will be a full participant at training camp, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
After undergoing ankle surgery in the spring, Giddey will have no restrictions at camp this fall. The star guard is primed for another big season as the Bulls' go-to playmaker, fresh off recording a career-high 17.0 points, 9.1 assists and 8.3 rebounds per game for Chicago in 2025-26.

Bulls' Buddy Hield: On the move again to Chicago
The Bulls acquired Hield (and cash) from the Hornets on Saturday in exchange for Rob Dillingham, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Hield was recently traded to Charlotte on Tuesday but is on the move again to Chicago. The 33-year-old has spent time with the Pelicans, Kings, Pacers, 76ers, Warriors and Hawks throughout his career. In 765 regular-season appearances, Hield has averaged 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 27.5 minutes per contest. He's also a career 39.5 percent shooter from deep. Hield could have a tough time earning consistent minutes with the Bulls, so his fantasy ceiling isn't very high. While he may only be used situationally, there is a small chance he will see playing time throughout the 2026-27 campaign if there are injuries.

Bulls' Drew Peterson: Finds work with Chicago
Peterson signed a training camp contract with the Bulls on Friday.
After spending most of the 2025-26 campaign in the G League, Peterson will compete for a spot on Chicago's regular-season roster. Over 35 G League games between the Motor City Cruise and Greensboro Swarm last season, he averaged 14.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.9 steals in 33.2 minutes per tilt.

Bulls' Brandon Boston: Lands camp deal with Chicago
Boston signed a training camp contract with the Bulls on Friday.
Boston is set to compete for a spot on the Bulls' regular-season roster, and the organization also owns his G League rights. The 24-year-old forward appeared in four Las Vegas Summer League games with the Bucks this offseason, averaging 9.2 points in 17.3 minutes per contest.

Bulls' Marquel Sutton: Inks training camp pact with Chicago
Sutton signed a training camp contract with the Bulls on Friday.
Sutton is set to compete for a spot on Chicago's regular-season roster. He most recently played for the Kings in the Las Vegas Summer League, where he averaged 5.6 points and 3.8 rebounds while shooting 52.6 percent from the floor in 17.2 minutes per game.

Bulls' Orlando Robinson: Signs camp deal with Chicago
Robinson signed a training camp contract with the Bulls on Friday.
After appearing in four regular-season games while on a two-way deal with Orlando in 2025-26, Robinson will compete for a spot on Chicago's regular-season roster for the 2026-27 campaign. He averaged 22.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals across 31.9 minutes per game in 20 G League outings between the Osceola Magic and Memphis Hustle last season.

Bulls' Nic Claxton: Expected to start at center
Claxton is projected to start at center for the Bulls in the 2026-27 campaign, according to Law Murray of The Athletic.
The Bulls were left with a big void at the center position after dealing Nikola Vucevic to the Celtics for Anfernee Simons at last year's trade deadline, and they're looking for Claxton to help plug the hole in 2026-27 after coming over from Brooklyn. Claxton, who was a full-time starter with the Nets for the better part of the last four seasons, has generally been a strong source of boards and swats for fantasy managers, though his rebound and block rates as well as his shooting efficiency all essentially declined each year over that time. That said, the 27-year-old big man has an opportunity for a fresh start in Chicago, and he did take a step forward as a playmaker in 2025-26 in the form of a career-high 3.7 assists per game.

Bulls' Noa Essengue: Ready to roll for second season
Essengue enters his second NBA season after spending much of his rookie year recovering from shoulder surgery.
The 6-foot-11 forward remains an intriguing long-term prospect because of his mobility and defensive versatility, and he should have an opportunity to compete for more playing time in 2026-27. However, Essengue will need to make progress offensively before becoming a reliable fantasy contributor.

Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Defensive specialist for Bulls
Okoro remains primarily a defense-first wing heading into his second season with Chicago.
Okoro's offensive production was limited in 2025-26, and the presence of several younger wings could create additional competition for playing time this season. Okoro's defensive ability should keep him involved in the rotation, but his modest usage makes him more valuable to the Bulls than to most fantasy managers.
