Why The Chicago Bulls Are Likely To Take A Guard in The 2026 NBa Draft

The Chicago Bulls may have created a major backcourt dilemma after the trade deadline.

After trading Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, and Nikola Vucevic, Bulls Executive VP Arturas Karnisovas brought in a new wave of guards including Jaden Ivey, Rob Dillingham, Collin Sexton, and Anfernee Simons.

Now with free agency looming, the big question is: Which guards will actually be part of the Bulls’ future?

On this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the Bulls’ growing four-guard logjam, analyzing each player’s performance and what their future in Chicago could look like.

We also dive into how the 2026 NBA Draft could impact the Bulls’ roster decisions, especially with Chicago projected to pick between 8–10 in the lottery. Should the Bulls draft the best player available or trade down to address positional needs?

Plus we discuss potential draft targets like:

🏀 Keaton Wagler

🏀 Darius Acuff

🏀 Mikel Brown

🏀 Labaron Philon

🏀 Nate Ament

And possible trade-down targets including Hannes Steunback, Patrick Ngongba, Yaxel Lendeborn, and Jayden Quaintance.
