Number 1: Norman Powell’s BIGGEST Bulls Question! Matas & Caleb Dominate Celebrity Game
Norman Powell is expected to play a major role for the Chicago Bulls in 2026-27, but what is the biggest question he has to answer in his first season with the team? 👀🐂 On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down the biggest question surrounding Norman Powell heading into the new season. Can Powell be the reliable veteran scorer and shooter the Bulls badly need? Will he fit cleanly next to Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, and Nic Claxton? And can he help raise the floor of an offense that still has major questions around three-point shooting and half-court creation? The guys also react to Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson dominating in a celebrity game and why that moment matters beyond just offseason fun. Bulls fans are looking for signs of chemistry, confidence, personality, and leadership from the young core — and Matas and Caleb continuing to build momentum together gives Chicago another reason to be excited about the future. Plus, Haize and Pat debate who will be the most important Bulls bench player this season. Is it Tre Jones because of his steady guard play? Rob Dillingham because of his scoring upside? Patrick Williams because he may need to stabilize the second unit? Isaac Okoro because of his defense? Jalen Smith or Zach Collins because of frontcourt depth? Or could Jaylin Sellers, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, or Leonard Miller surprise people? Topics Include: Norman Powell’s biggest question for the 2026-27 Bulls Powell’s scoring, shooting, and veteran leadership role How Powell fits next to Josh Giddey and the young core Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson dominating a celebrity game Why Matas and Caleb’s chemistry matters Bulls young core confidence entering the season Who will be the Bulls’ most important bench player? Tre Jones, Rob Dillingham, Patrick Williams, Isaac Okoro and more How the Bulls bench can impact the season Tiago Splitter’s rotation questions before training camp The Bulls’ starting lineup will get most of the attention, but Powell’s role, the growth of Matas and Caleb, and the strength of the bench could determine whether Chicago beats expectations or gets stuck near the bottom of the Eastern Conference. 🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down Norman Powell’s biggest question, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson showing out, and who could become the Bulls’ most important bench player this season.

Number 2: Caleb Wilson Voted #1 By Bleacher Report! Are Bulls Fans Sleeping On Patrick Williams?
Caleb Wilson continues to build momentum before his rookie season even begins, and now Bleacher Report has voted his work ethic No. 1. 👀🐂 On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down why the national media buzz around Caleb Wilson keeps growing and what that means for expectations entering the 2026-27 NBA season. Wilson has already become one of the most exciting pieces of the Chicago Bulls’ future, but does this latest recognition raise expectations too quickly? Or is this exactly the type of mentality the Bulls need from a young cornerstone? The guys also discuss whether Bulls fans are overlooking Patrick Williams heading into the season. With so much attention on Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Nic Claxton, Norman Powell, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, and Rob Dillingham, Patrick Williams may be flying under the radar. But could a new coaching staff, a different role, and lower expectations actually give P-Will one more chance to become a valuable part of the Bulls’ rotation? Plus, Haize and Pat react to Bleacher Report’s top 10 NBA trade targets and ask whether the Bulls could realistically land one. Should Bryson Graham be aggressive if the right player becomes available? Or should Chicago stay patient, protect assets, and evaluate this rebuilt roster before making another major move? Topics Include: Caleb Wilson’s work ethic being voted No. 1 by Bleacher Report Why Caleb Wilson’s rookie hype keeps rising What realistic expectations should be for Wilson Are Bulls fans overlooking Patrick Williams? Patrick Williams’ role in 2026-27 Can P-Will still become a valuable Bulls piece? Bleacher Report’s top 10 trade targets Could the Bulls land a major trade target? Should Bryson Graham stay patient or make a swing? Bulls roster outlook before training camp The Bulls have more young talent, more national intrigue, and more roster questions than they have had in years. Caleb Wilson’s work ethic could help set the tone for the future, Patrick Williams may still have something to prove, and the trade market could decide whether Chicago makes one more move before the season. 🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down Caleb Wilson’s rising national hype, whether Patrick Williams is being overlooked, and if the Bulls could land one of Bleacher Report’s top trade targets.

Number 3: Bulls Are Back In Town! Who Becomes Chicago’s Next All-Star?
The Chicago Bulls are back in town ahead of training camp, and the energy around the new-look roster is starting to build. 👀🐂 On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer discuss Bulls players returning to Chicago before training camp and why that matters for a team trying to build chemistry, establish a new identity, and buy into Tiago Splitter’s system before the 2026-27 NBA season begins. The guys also ask one of the biggest questions surrounding the franchise: who will be the Bulls’ next All-Star? Could it be Josh Giddey if he takes a leap as a scorer, shooter, and lead playmaker? Is Matas Buzelis the best long-term bet if his Year 3 leap arrives? Can Caleb Wilson grow into that level of player sooner than expected? Or could Nic Claxton or Norman Powell become the most impactful player on a team that surprises people? Haize and Pat also dive into the Bulls’ biggest concern entering the season: half-court offense. Chicago has athleticism, size, defensive upside, transition potential, and young talent, but can this team consistently score when the game slows down? With questions around three-point shooting, spacing, shot creation, and late-clock offense, the Bulls will need Tiago Splitter to build a system that gets easy looks for Giddey, Buzelis, Wilson, Powell, Claxton, and the bench. Topics Include: Bulls players back in town before training camp Why early chemistry matters for Chicago Tiago Splitter’s first training camp with the Bulls Who will be the Bulls’ next All-Star? Josh Giddey’s All-Star path Matas Buzelis’ star upside Caleb Wilson’s long-term ceiling Biggest concern with the Bulls’ half-court offense Can Chicago overcome shooting and spacing issues? Bulls 2026-27 season expectations The Bulls have more intrigue than they have had in years, but now the real work begins. If the young core develops, the next All-Star could already be on the roster. But if the half-court offense struggles, Chicago’s ceiling may be limited no matter how much talent is in the building. 🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down the Bulls returning before training camp, who could become Chicago’s next All-Star, and the biggest concern with the half-court offense.

Number 4: Dalton Knecht To The Bulls?! Chicago Gets More National TV Love As Trade Rumors Heat Up 👀🐂
The Chicago Bulls rumor mill is heating up again, and Dalton Knecht is the latest name connected to Chicago. 👀🐂 On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down the rumors surrounding Dalton Knecht to the Bulls and whether he makes sense as a target for Bryson Graham before the 2026-27 NBA season. Chicago still has questions about shooting, bench scoring, floor spacing, and offensive punch — and Knecht’s shot-making ability could make him an interesting fit next to Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Nic Claxton, Norman Powell, and the rest of the Bulls’ young core. But should the Bulls actually make another move? Haize and Pat debate whether Chicago should pursue Knecht or simply stand pat at this point in the offseason. The Bulls have already reshaped the roster, added young talent, improved defensively, and brought in veteran scoring. Is another trade necessary, or does Bryson Graham need to see this group under Tiago Splitter before making another roster decision? The guys also react to the Bulls getting two nationally televised games added to the schedule. Is this just a small adjustment, or a sign that the NBA is starting to recognize more intrigue around Chicago’s rebuild? With Giddey, Buzelis, Wilson, Powell, Claxton, and Splitter all bringing new storylines, the Bulls may be more interesting nationally than people expected. Topics Include: Dalton Knecht to Bulls rumors Would Knecht fix Chicago’s shooting problem? Bulls’ need for bench scoring and spacing Should Bryson Graham make one more move? Is standing pat the smarter option before training camp? How Knecht would fit with Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis Bulls get two nationally televised games added Is the NBA starting to notice Chicago? Tiago Splitter’s new-look roster Bulls 2026-27 offseason outlook The Bulls still have clear flaws, but they also have more intrigue than they have had in years. Dalton Knecht could give Chicago another offensive weapon, but the bigger question is whether the Bulls should force a move now or trust the roster they have built. 🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down the Dalton Knecht rumors, whether the Bulls should stand pat, and what the added national TV games say about Chicago’s growing buzz.

Number 5: Scoot Henderson To The Bulls?! Buy-Low Gamble, Tiago’s Biggest Test & Taj Gibson Return
Should the Chicago Bulls take a buy-low swing on Scoot Henderson, or is that the wrong kind of gamble for Bryson Graham’s front office? 👀🐂 On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down whether Scoot Henderson could make sense as an upside target for Chicago. The Bulls still have questions around guard creation, bench scoring, rim pressure, and long-term backcourt upside. Scoot’s talent is obvious, but the fit would come with real questions. Would he help unlock a faster, more athletic Bulls offense? Or would adding another guard who needs development create more rotation complications next to Josh Giddey, Rob Dillingham, Tre Jones, Norman Powell, and the rest of the roster? The guys also dive into Tiago Splitter’s biggest early season coaching obstacle. With a rebuilt roster featuring Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Nic Claxton, Norman Powell, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, Isaac Okoro, Patrick Williams, Jalen Smith, Zach Collins, and more, Splitter has to establish roles quickly. But what is the biggest challenge: fixing the half-court offense, managing shooting concerns, balancing development with winning, or figuring out who actually belongs in the rotation? Plus, Haize and Pat discuss whether the Bulls should bring Taj Gibson back to Chicago to close out his career. Taj is one of the most respected Bulls of the post-Derrick Rose era, and a return would mean a lot to fans. But would it make sense for the actual roster, or would it be more of a culture move than a basketball move? Topics Include: Is Scoot Henderson a good buy-low option for the Bulls? What Scoot could bring to Chicago’s backcourt Bulls’ need for more rim pressure and guard creation How Scoot would fit next to Josh Giddey and Rob Dillingham Tiago Splitter’s biggest early season obstacle Bulls half-court offense concerns Rotation battles and player development questions Should the Bulls bring Taj Gibson back? Taj Gibson’s legacy in Chicago Bryson Graham’s next roster-building decision The Bulls have more talent and intrigue than they have had in years, but the next step is about fit, coaching, and smart roster decisions. Scoot Henderson would be a major upside swing, Tiago Splitter has real early-season problems to solve, and a Taj Gibson return would bring emotion, leadership, and debate. 🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down Scoot Henderson’s potential fit in Chicago, Tiago Splitter’s biggest coaching challenge, and whether Taj Gibson should finish his career with the Bulls.
