Chicago Bulls select Caleb Wilson with No. 4 pick in 2026 NBA Draft
The Chicago Bulls used the No. 4 overall selection in the 2026 NBA Draft to choose forward Caleb Wilson, a player many analysts compare to former star Tracy McGrady. The pick follows longtime speculation that the Bulls needed a high‑upside scorer to build a post‑Jordan era team.
In the same offseason, new executive vice‑president Bryson Graham added veteran center Nic Claxton via a three‑team trade, signed All‑Star guard Norman Powell, and re‑signed forward Zach Collins. ESPN’s offseason grade gave the Bulls a C+, noting the promising draft selection but questioning whether the roster moves are enough to lift the franchise.
Bill Simmons highlighted Wilson’s explosive potential, suggesting the Bulls may finally have captured the “ghost” they chased for decades. The moves signal a new direction for the Bulls as they aim to reshape their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
