The Chicago Bulls enter the 2026-27 season with one open roster spot, following a quiet but pragmatic offseason under new front office leader Bryson Graham. After a 149-128 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on April 13, 2026, and a recent form of 2W-0D-3L (LLWWL), the Bulls are focused on development. Here’s how they might fill that final spot.
Could Jaylin Sellers Earn a Promotion?
Jaylin Sellers impressed in Summer League, averaging 15.6 points, 2.4 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. Though his three-point shooting struggled (42.9% in college, but not in Vegas), his hustle and defensive intensity stood out. The undrafted Providence guard’s maturity at 6-foot-5 makes him a candidate for a non-guaranteed deal. If signed, he’d add energy and versatility off the bench.
Should the Bulls Add More Shooting?
The Bulls ranked seventh-worst in Summer League three-point shooting (29.4%). With Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, and Noa Essengue not yet proven long-range threats, adding a specialist could help. A veteran shooter on a short-term deal would balance the roster while Graham continues his rebuild.
Could a Two-Way Player Step Up?
The Bulls could also look to their G League affiliate for a two-way player. Developing talent like Sellers in Windy City could pay off later. If no external signing materializes, promoting from within keeps flexibility for future moves.
With the Bulls coming off a tough loss to Dallas and a mixed end to last season, this final roster decision could shape their development trajectory.
