Report: Chicago Bulls looking to move into top 10

Originally posted on ChiCitySports | By Zack Pearson | Last updated Jun 12, 2026 8:23 PM ET

With the Chicago Bulls holding the No. 4 and No. 15 overall picks in the 2026 NBA Draft, they have the chance to speed up their rebuild. That would require them to land two starters right away with the picks, but they would at least be off to a good start.

At No. 4, the Bulls are likely going to get one of the three of Caleb Wilson, Darryn Peterson and Cameron Boozer barring any big surprises. However, what they do at No. 15 is the biggest question mark moving forward. With Chicago’s roster as it stands now, the Bulls have room to address any position they want in the draft.

This draft is considered a strong one in terms of talent from 1-10 which could lead the Bulls to potentially look at moving up. But could they actually get into the top 10? That’s their target according to a new report.

The Bulls are still in search of a new head coach but with Bryson Graham running the show, they could get aggressive in the weeks leading up to the draft. And that’s exactly what a new report suggests they are doing.

Per Brett Siegel, the Bulls are targeting three players in a potential move up into the top 10. Siegel mentions Mikel Brown, Kingston Flemings and Keaton Wagler as players Chicago is interested in.

There has been a lot of chatter recently about the Bulls seeing what the cost would be to move up from No. 15 into the top 10 of this year's draft to grab one of the top guard prospects.

If the Bulls do come away with Wilson or Boozer, adding any of those three would be a bonus. Chicago has the ammo to move up as they can give up No. 15 overall and a future pick if needed.

As the rumors continue to swirl, it will be interesting to see what happens with the Bulls in terms of a trade. They could also stay put and try to land an impact player at 15 as well. The good news is that they should have options to do what they want.
