Bulls 2026 Offseason Thread

[Brian707]

I wonder if the two Caleb's in town will do commercials together 

[Tryptamine]

First 7 picks have gone pretty much exactly how most had them going

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm sad that Wagler is going to the Clippers.

Wow Morez Johnson went early

The Mavs are not a serious organization. 

[Tryptamine]

horsefeathers the Thunder, seriously they get Mara at #12.

[Wilson A2000]

So the Bulls’ best two players will both be PFs?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Dailyn Swain

Typical Bulls (bad) pick

[Tryptamine]

Well they went upside at least. That's something.

[gflore34]

Hell, I would have them take Stirtz, instead of this waste of a pick.  Guess it doesn’t matter who’s in Bulls FO, the stupidity remains.

I mean yeah, according to espn it's a reach, but a lot of other places had him in the 15-18 range, so I'm not sure it's that much of a reach. You've just got a lot of bust potential on this one.

And given the Bulls luck, we all know which way this one probably goes.

[Tryptamine]

Well if nothing else, the team will be greatly improved on defense.

The positives. He's a good FT shooter and he's a good mid range shooter and slasher. He's a high effort guy who should play good defense and get some rebounds. The downside, between him and Caleb and the rest of the roster, they are in desperate need of a sharp shooter.

I feel like everything that is being said about Swain was exactly what was being said about PWill at the time he was drafted

[Tryptamine]

I just don't see where the shooting on this team is going to come from. Improved on defense,  on the boards and In the paint, but damn are they going to be bad behind the arc.

[Irrelevant Dude]

They are going to be a tough watch, again, and I'm still not seeing a real path to significant improvement.

what exactly did you expect tonight?

[bjam12]

I actually like the Swain pick. They are not one player away, they are building a roster.

The Bulls drafted two players in the top 15 that can’t shoot

That's what the previous FO did with most of their picks.

the swain pick is questionable and they absolutely will need to find shooting going forward, but lumping the 2 picks together here doesn't really make sense to me

That’s the criticism I’ve seen on both picks. Wilson was the best player at #4, but both him and Matas play PF which seems like a problem.

I kind of wanted Carr but have really liked the tape of Swain.  He plays with an edge and physicality, have seen some Jimmy Butler comps.  PWill just doesn't have that dog in him like I think Swain does.
