🚨 Could the Chicago Bulls suddenly have a shot at Darryn Peterson with the No. 4 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft? Haize breaks down the latest “Facts or Cap” debate after ESPN’s Cory Alexander suggested Peterson could slide outside the top two or three — and possibly into Chicago’s range. Peterson is widely viewed as one of the elite talents in the class, but injury questions, playmaking concerns, and the depth of top-tier prospects could create chaos at the top of the draft.

Haize also dives into whether the Bulls should be preparing for a major opportunity in free agency with Jalen Duren. After a dominant regular season with Detroit followed by a disappointing playoff run, could Duren’s value dip just enough for Chicago to make a serious restricted free agency push? The Bulls have cap space, young talent, and a rebuild timeline that could make Duren, Peyton Watson, or Walker Kessler intriguing targets.

Plus, the Bulls coaching search may have another name to watch: James Borrego. With Jamahl Mosley landing in New Orleans, Borrego is now available — and his prior connection to Bryson Graham could make him a logical candidate. But is he the right two-way coach for Chicago’s next era?

Haize also looks at Matas Buzelis’ development and why his path to stardom has to include more than dunks and blocks. If Buzelis is going to become a true franchise piece, his defensive rebounding, shot contests, and all-around defensive impact have to take another leap.
