The Chicago Bulls made some noise during the 2023 NBA Draft despite not having any selections heading into the night. Their first-rounder belonged to the Orlando Magic, and they lost both of their second-round picks for different reasons – they traded one and had the other stripped from them after they broke tampering rules when signing Lonzo Ball.
However, when the time came for it, the Bulls traded into the second round, snagging the 34th pick from the Sacramento Kings and selecting Tennessee forward Julian Phillips – a defensive-minded prospect. He’ll give the team some nice forward depth and a solid piece to develop moving forward.
