Overview
- The Chicago Bulls enter the 2026 draft holding the No. 4 and No. 15 picks and face a choice between drafting a top prospect or trading those assets.
- Multiple mock drafts and local coverage have coalesced around North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson as the leading projection for the Bulls at No. 4 after a pro day at the Lakers’ facility that reportedly drew strong interest from teams.
- League coverage still frames a four-player top tier — AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson — keeping the exact order fluid rather than fixed.
- Darryn Peterson’s medical checks and ongoing private workouts remain the principal wildcards that could reshuffle the top four, while analysts such as Brian Windhorst continue to project Peterson as a top-two pick.
- While speculative three-for-one or multi-asset trade ideas have been floated publicly, reporting indicates new front-office leadership under Bryson Graham prefers retaining lottery assets and is currently inclined to draft the best available player on June 23.
