Chicago Bulls one step closer to drafting Caleb Wilson?

The 2026 NBA Draft is just under a week away and for the Chicago Bulls, it could be franchise-altering. After Chicago hit the rebuild button this offseason by reshaping their front office and now finding a new head coach.

As the Bulls move in this new direction, they have the assets to speed up the rebuild. Chicago holds picks No. 4 and No. 15 in the 2026 NBA Draft, giving them two cracks at finding game-changing talents. While 15 will be an important pick, the Bulls almost have to hit on No. 4. Right now, the consensus is that AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson will be the top four picks in some order.

That means the Bulls will land one of those talents as long as they don’t trade the pick or make a big surprising decision. Most people believe it will be Wilson, and this week’s news may just solidify that.

Up until now, there hasn’t been much in terms of pre-draft visits for the Bulls and prospects. However, the news this week is that Wilson is in Chicago and is visiting the Bulls. Here is what ESPN’s Jeremy Woo wrote on Wilson:

“Wilson remains the most likely player to fall to the Bulls, who can sit comfortably at No. 4 and see what unfolds in front of them,” Woo wrote in his latest mock draft. “He is set to visit Chicago this week and is thought to be happy at the prospect of landing there, where he would immediately become the face of their rebuild and directly address a frontcourt need.”

Per his Instagram, Wilson posted on Wednesday that he is indeed in Chicago. While the Bulls have worked out over 20 players, none are as high profile as Wilson. More importantly, Boozer, Peterson and Dybantsa have yet to workout with the Bulls either.

It feels like everything is trending towards Wilson landing in Chicago.
