The 2023 NBA Draft was set to be a boring event for the Chicago Bulls, as they didn’t have a pick heading into the night. However, they ended up trading into the second round in a deal with the Washington Wizards, landing the 35th pick.
With the selection, the Bulls picked up Tennessee forward Julian Phillips. The 19-year-old has shown a ton of potential on the defensive side of the ball and will be a great prospect for Chicago to develop moving forward. And according to the rookie, he has some previous connections to the Bulls via his dad, who was a Chicago fan.
