Chicago Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Bryson Graham has a clear vision for the team's future, and he's sticking to his timeline for the NBA draft. Graham has been methodical and meticulous in his approach, conducting extensive interviews with coaching candidates and working out potential draft picks at the Advocate Center. The Bulls have been linked to several top prospects, including Keaton Wagler, Kingston Flemings, Mikel Brown Jr., Darius Acuff Jr., and Ebuka Okorie, who could all be in play at the team's second first-round pick at No. 15. Graham has a gluttony of second-round draft assets to use, and he's not afraid to make a move to get his guy. The Bulls need to have a coach in place well before the two-day NBA Draft begins June 23, and Graham is expected to make a decision by next week at the latest. One of the finalists for the coaching job is Wes Unseld Jr., who has impressed throughout the process. Other candidates include Minnesota assistant Micah Nori, Atlanta assistant Ryan Schmidt, and Portland interim coach Tiago Splitter. Graham has a real comfort level with Schmidt, who has limited head-coaching experience but is considered strong in player development. Splitter has a sample size as an NBA coach and has impressed with his ability to refocus a young team. The Bulls are looking for a coach who can help them develop young talent and make strategic moves to improve the team's roster.
