"Chicago wraps up the year with a 31-51 record, good for the ninth-worst sum in the league and thus the ninth-best odds of landing the top pick in a stacked 2026 NBA Draft."
"Five Bulls will hit unrestricted free agency, one has a team option, and it's possible that none will ever be an All-Star. So there might be a ton of turnover."
"Matas Buzelis was a full-time fixture in Billy Donovan's starting five, although he did not have as many explosive scoring nights as fans might have been hoping to see."
"Buzelis has flashed some significant defensive upside, too. He is, by far, the most exciting prospect on this team."
The Chicago Bulls concluded the 2025-26 season with a disappointing 31-51 record, ranking ninth-worst in the league. This result gives them the ninth-best odds for the top pick in the upcoming 2026 NBA Draft. The team is now focused on retaining head coach Billy Donovan and finding new front office leadership. With several players hitting free agency and potential roster turnover, evaluations of player performances are underway, particularly highlighting Matas Buzelis as a promising prospect despite a challenging season.
