Henri Drell

CHI Shooting Guard #77

Drell is signing a non-guaranteed training camp deal with Portland ahead of the 2024-25 season.

Drell played in just four games for the Chicago Bulls last season and doesn’t seem likely to make the Trail Blazers’ final roster.
Josh Giddey

CHI Shooting Guard #3

Josh Giddey finished Tuesday’s loss to Serbia with 25 points, five rebounds, four assists and three triples across 33 minutes.

Giddey was superb in Olympic play, despite his team’s exit in the quarterfinals. Chicago brass is surely hopeful that Giddey will play at this level next season for his new team. The 6’8 floor general is projected to be the Bulls’ starting PG for the 2024-25 campaign.
Josh Giddey

CHI Shooting Guard #3

Josh Giddey finished Australia’s Tuesday matchup against Canada with 19 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and three 3-pointers in a 93-83 loss.

Giddey stuffed the stat sheet again while continuing to knock down outside shots. He’s operated as Australia’s lead facilitator so far during the Olympics and hasn’t slacked off in the scoring department. His international play could help him bring more confidence on offense into 2024-25.
Josh Giddey

CHI Shooting Guard #3

Josh Giddey posted a full line on Saturday with 17 points (7-of-12 FGs), eight rebounds, eight assists, two 3-pointers and five turnovers in a 92-80 win over Spain.

After a down season with the Thunder, Giddey will get a fresh start with Chicago this upcoming season. Before that happens, Giddey will represent Australia in the Olympics, where he has started off well. He played well in the scrimmages, and he nearly recorded a triple-double in their first game of this Olympics. He’ll continue to play an instrumental role in helping Australia in their quest for a gold medal.
Lonzo Ball

CHI Point Guard #2

Lonzo Ball said on his podcast that he intends to begin 5-on-5 work in August.

Ball said in May that he intends to be available to start next season, but next month should be a good indicator of his exact timeline. He said that participating in 5-on-5 will be his “first real test”, but that everything in his recovery has been going well recently. They’ll likely keep him on a strict load management plan, and he will compete with Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Josh Giddey for minutes in the backcourt.
DJ Steward

CHI Shooting Guard #26

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that DJ Steward has signed a two-way deal with the Bulls.

After going undrafted in 2021, Steward has yet to appear in an NBA game. He’s spent the entirety of his professional career in the G League, but he’ll get a shot to make his league debut for the rebuilding Bulls. Steward has averaged 19.3 points per game in the 2024 Las Vegas Summer League, including a 37-point performance on Friday.
Matas Buzelis

CHI Small Forward

Matas Buzelis finished Saturday’s 107-81 loss to the Lakers with 10 points (3-of-11 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and three blocked shots in 25 minutes.

Despite the Lakers playing without Dalton Knecht and Bronny James, they managed to blitz Buzelis and the Bulls and not look back. The lottery pick did not shoot the ball particularly well, but he did manage to accumulate one steal and three blocked shots. If Buzelis can provide consistent defensive production, that would boost his fantasy value in a lineup that includes Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. In previous seasons, Chicago has been willing to commit to chasing a play-in spot, even if that limits their flexibility in rebuilding. Going all-in on a rebuild would make Buzelis one of the more valuable fantasy rookies in this class.
Julian Phillips

CHI Small Forward #15

Julian Phillips played 33 minutes in Friday’s 103-99 win over the Hawks, accounting for 21 points (6-of-10 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), two rebounds, three steals, one blocked shot, and four 3-pointers.

Friday’s performance was Phillips’ best of summer league, as the second-year wing shot 4-of-7 from three and tallied four “stocks.” While lottery pick Matas Buzelis has dominated the early conversations, fantasy managers should not ignore Phillips. He didn’t play significant minutes as a rookie, but DeMar DeRozan’s departure will free up opportunities for the 2023 second-round pick. How much Phillips plays will depend on the health of Patrick Williams (he’ll be good to go for the start of next season) and whether or not the Bulls will commit to a rebuild or continue to chase a play-in tournament spot.
Matas Buzelis

CHI Small Forward

Matas Buzelis tallied 28 points (10-of-22 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, two steals, and four 3-pointers in 34 minutes in Sunday’s 92-82 loss to the Warriors.

Buzelis wasn’t thrilled with his performance in Saturday’s win over Milwaukee, as he shot 4-of-15 from the field. The rookie was considerably better on Sunday, scoring a game-high 28 points while shooting the ball better from the field and three. And Buzelis had arguably the dunk of the weekend, posterizing Warriors wing Daeqwon Plowden during the fourth quarter. While the rookie does need to get stronger, he isn’t afraid to mix it up on either end of the floor. With the Bulls embarking on a rebuild, Buzelis is a young player the fan base will enjoy watching develop.
Nikola Vucevic

CHI Center #9

There is reportedly “no market” for Nikola Vucevic, per Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun Times.

Chicago has already made some moves this summer by trading away DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso. However, those moves didn’t bring back much value, and if they aren’t able to get much back in trades for Vucevic and Zach LaVine, this could be the start of a long, long rebuild for the Bulls. There’s a chance that Vooch remains in Chicago next season if they don’t get offered a good enough deal, but if they are able to move him, Jalen Smith could move into a starting role.
