The Chicago Bulls walked into the 2023 NBA Draft with zero picks. They traded their first in the Nikola Vucevic deal, one second in another trade, and had their other second stripped after the NBA concluded they tampered when signing Lonzo Ball.
However, while they began the night with zero selections, they came away with a couple of intriguing young talents. One of which, Julian Phillips of Tennessee, they traded into the draft to pick, and the other, they decided to sign after the event concluded. Chicago made noise in the undrafted free-agent market after the draft, nabbing a potential backup center.
