Chicago Bulls target Caleb Wilson in 2026 NBA Draft

The Chicago Bulls enter the 2026 NBA Draft with the No. 4 pick and have identified North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson as their top prospect. Wilson, who averaged 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds at UNC, told SportsCenter, “I’m a winner. I’m going to change that culture and bring it back to what it was, for sure.”

The Bulls have been scouting several lottery‑eligible players, hosting workouts that included prospects such as Darius Acuff Jr., the SEC Player of the Year, and other candidates like Keaton Wagler, Kingston Flemings, Nate Ament and Morez Johnson. The organization, led by new VP of Basketball Operations Bryson Graham, is also weighing potential trade scenarios to move up in the draft. Their aim is to revitalize a franchise that has not won a playoff series since the 2014‑2015 season.

Beyond the draft, the Bulls are searching for a new head coach, signaling a broad rebuild effort intended to restore the team to competitive relevance.
