Who will the Bulls land out of AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Caleb Wilson and Cameron Boozer?

Chicago Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Bryson Graham speaks to the media during his introductory press conference on May 6, 2026.

The next month just got a whole lot more interesting for the Chicago Bulls.

Whether or not the Bulls would enter a much-needed rebuild had already been decided before the NBA Draft Lottery. New head executive Bryson Graham's comments at his opening press conference made that abundantly clear.

But now that Chicago has secured a top-five draft pick and a chance at one of the four "superstar prospects" atop the board, the Bulls' direction is even more set in stone. The franchise has the opportunity to launch its rebuild with an elite talent to pair with 21-year-old forward Matas Buzelis.

With the order of all 60 picks now finalized, here's who draft analysts across the basketball world have the Bulls selecting with their No. 4 and No. 15 overall picks:

ESPN: F Caleb Wilson (North Carolina)

"In addition to being viewed as a consensus top-four prospect, Wilson is an excellent fit with Chicago's existing talent, representing a high-flying frontcourt option with room to grow. His season ended early because of a pair of hand injuries, but that didn't impact his momentum as a top-four selection, as teams fell in love with his motor, explosiveness and potential as a two-way impact player. He will likely receive looks higher than this and will have an opportunity to make his case in predraft workouts, where his athletic gifts should stand out, and teams will want to better assess his skill level and perimeter shooting."

Pick 15: C Jayden Quaintance (Kentucky)

The Athletic: F Caleb Wilson (North Carolina)

"He’s an athletic player with great positional size who plays with physicality and would fit nicely if the Bulls continue to operate an uptempo offense under the coach whom new general manager Bryson Graham hires."

Pick 15: G Cameron Carr (Baylor)

SB Nation: F Caleb Wilson (North Carolina)

"Even with the outside shooting concerns, Wilson plays like a runaway freight train on both ends in the best way possible. He feels like a stronger prospect than the typical No. 4 overall pick, and it wouldn’t be too surprising if he goes even higher than that after recent reports that some front offices prefer him over certain members of the big-three."  

Pick 15: F Dailyn Swain (Texas)

CBS Sports: F Cameron Boozer (Duke)

"Boozer has low bust-potential, I think, given how he's never not been awesome in a way that impacts winning at every level at which he's played. He was the national high school player of the year in 2026, then the national college player of the year in 2026. There are no shortage of accolades connected to Boozer. That said, some do worry that his star-potential is also low in part because he's mostly a below-the-rim forward who can struggle with the type of size and athleticism he'll consistently face in the NBA. As always, we'll see. But if Boozer does fall to this spot, the Bulls could snatch him up and make him the face of their rebuild in the post Billy Donovan era."

NBC Sports: F Cameron Boozer (Duke)

"The last time the Bulls drafted No. 4 was 2020, just after Arturas Karnisovas had taken over as the head of basketball operations in Chicago, and he rolled the dice on an athletic but very raw player in Patrick Williams. New head of basketball ops, Bryson Graham, is not going to make that same mistake. If Boozer — the player with the highest floor in this draft — is available at No. 4, Graham is going to take him."

Pick 15: C Jayden Quaintance (Kentucky)
