The Chicago Bulls aren’t the youngest team in the league. In fact, Arturas Karnisovas has made his intentions clear – he doesn’t want to rebuild. They have some younger players on the roster, such as Patrick Williams and Coby White, but the core group in Chicago is made up of veteran players looking to win now.
That being said, Chicago did add some youth through the NBA Draft this year. They traded into the second round, picking up Tennessee forward Julian Phillips with the 34th selection. Then, after the draft, they signed UConn center Adama Sanogo to a two-way contract. Fans should get a first look at those guys during Summer League.
The Bulls unveiled their Summer League schedule recently, listing out all the dates they will be playing in Las Vegas this summer.
- Game 1: vs. Toronto Raptors July 7, 5:30 p.m. CT
- Game 2: vs. Memphis Grizzlies July 8, 6:00 p.m. CT
- Game 3: vs. Sacramento Kings July 11, 9:00 p.m. CT
- Game 4: vs. Cleveland Cavaliers July 13, 2:00 p.m. CT
- Game 5: TBD July 15-16, Time TBD

Both Phillips and Sanogo will be playing for the Bulls’ Summer League team this summer, and it’s fairly safe to assume that Dalen Terry will as well, as he received very few minutes throughout his rookie season in Chicago.
As for their schedule, Chicago will have a chance to take a look at some fun rookies around the league. Among them will be Gradey Dick of the Raptors, GG Jackson of the Grizzlies, Colby Jones of the Kings, and Emoni Bates of the Cavaliers.
