Norman Powell Says Bulls Will SHOCK The NBA! Caleb Wilson Game 2 Expectations 👀🐂

The Chicago Bulls are entering the 2026-27 season with a new-look roster, a new head coach, and major expectations for their young core — starting with Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis. 👀🐂 On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down what Bulls fans should realistically expect from Josh Giddey this season. After the front office made it clear that Giddey is viewed as part of the Bulls’ core, the pressure is now on him to prove he can be more than a connective passer. Can Giddey improve as a shooter, defend at a higher level, control the offense, and help raise the ceiling of the team? The guys also discuss whether Matas Buzelis is ready to make a true third-year leap. With more talent around him and a bigger role in the Bulls’ future, Buzelis has a chance to become one of Chicago’s most important players. But what does that leap actually look like? More scoring? Better three-point shooting? Stronger defense? More consistency? Haize and Pat lay out what fans should be watching for. Plus, the guys dive into the question of Thomas Sorber’s availability and whether the Bulls should be interested if the young big man becomes a realistic option. Chicago has added frontcourt talent, but long-term size, rim protection, rebounding, and developmental upside should always be on the radar for Bryson Graham and the front office. Topics Include: Josh Giddey’s 2026-27 expectations Can Giddey prove he is a Bulls core piece? What Giddey must improve this season Matas Buzelis’ possible third-year leap Why Buzelis’ development matters so much Thomas Sorber availability watch Should the Bulls pursue another young big? How the Bulls’ young core fits together Bryson Graham’s long-term roster-building vision Bulls expectations entering the new season The Bulls have more intriguing talent than they have had in years, but now the next step is turning promise into production. If Giddey and Buzelis both level up, Chicago’s rebuild could start moving faster than expected. 🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down Josh Giddey’s expectations, Matas Buzelis’ Year 3 leap potential, and whether Thomas Sorber should be on the Bulls’ radar.

Bryson Graham and the Chicago Bulls front office reportedly view Josh Giddey as part of the team’s core — and that tells Bulls fans a lot about the direction of the franchise. 👀🐂       On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down what it means if the Bulls truly see Josh Giddey as one of the foundational pieces moving forward. Is Giddey a long-term building block because of his size, passing, rebounding, and ability to organize the offense? Or does Chicago still need to see major growth as a shooter and defender before fully committing to him as part of the future?       The guys also dive into the biggest training camp questions for the Bulls’ young players. With Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, Jaylin Sellers, Leonard Miller, Rob Dillingham, and others fighting for roles, training camp could reveal who is ready for real NBA minutes and who may need more development time.       Plus, Haize and Pat revisit one of the most polarizing conversations in Bulls Nation: Patrick Williams. The P-Will truthers are still holding out hope, but is there still a path for Williams to become the player fans once believed he could be? Or has the clock officially started running out with a new front office, a rebuilt roster, and younger players pushing for minutes?       Topics Include:   Bulls front office viewing Josh Giddey as part of the core   Why Giddey’s fit matters for the Bulls’ future   Can Giddey improve enough as a shooter?   Biggest Bulls training camp questions   Which young players can earn real rotation minutes?   Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis development expectations   Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, and G League possibilities   Patrick Williams truthers still holding out hope   Is this P-Will’s final chance to change the conversation?   Bryson Graham’s long-term vision for Chicago       The Bulls’ new era is starting to take shape, but training camp will be the first real test of who actually belongs in the plan. Josh Giddey may be viewed as part of the core, but the rest of the roster still has to prove where they fit.       🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down Josh Giddey’s place in the Bulls’ future, the biggest training camp questions for Chicago’s young players, and whether Patrick Williams can still reward the fans who never stopped believing.       Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180       Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms   🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-bulls/       Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More   🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba               Follow Locked On Bulls on Twitter   Locked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBulls   Haize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaize   Pat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner       Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Chicago Bulls got blown out by the Los Angeles Lakers in Summer League, but the biggest takeaway may still be positive: Caleb Wilson continues to shine. 👀🐂   On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer react to the Bulls’ ugly Summer League loss to the Lakers and break down why the final score does not tell the full story. While Chicago struggled as a team, Caleb Wilson once again gave Bulls fans a reason to be excited with his activity, scoring flashes, rebounding, feel, and overall confidence.   But the loss also raised some bigger roster questions.   Do the Bulls need to add a veteran wing with their final roster spot? Chicago still has concerns when it comes to dependable wing depth, shooting, defensive consistency, and players who can steady the bench when the young guys are not ready. Haize and Pat discuss whether Bryson Graham should prioritize a proven veteran before training camp or keep the final spot open for flexibility.   The guys also dive into the development timelines for Dailyn Swain and Noa Essengue. After Summer League struggles, should Bulls fans expect both young players to spend time in the G League? Is that a bad thing, or would it be the smartest path for their long-term growth?   Topics Include: Bulls blown out by the Lakers in Summer League Caleb Wilson shining despite the loss What Wilson has proven so far Biggest concerns from the Bulls’ Summer League performance Should Chicago add a veteran wing? What the Bulls should do with the final roster spot Dailyn Swain’s Summer League struggles Noa Essengue’s development timeline Should Swain and Noa begin in the G League? Bryson Graham’s next roster decision   Summer League is about development, not panic — but the Lakers loss showed a clear gap between Caleb Wilson’s readiness and where some of the Bulls’ other young players may be. Now the question is whether Chicago needs more veteran help around the margins while Swain and Noa continue growing.   🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down the Bulls’ Summer League loss to the Lakers, Caleb Wilson’s continued rise, whether Chicago needs a veteran wing, and if Dailyn Swain and Noa Essengue should spend time in the G League.

The Chicago Bulls’ Summer League run has given fans plenty to talk about — but now the focus shifts from hype to development. 👀🐂   On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down what Caleb Wilson still needs to work on before the regular season begins. Wilson has shown flashes of the talent that made him a major piece of the Bulls’ future, but what areas need the most attention before he faces real NBA rotations? The guys discuss his decision-making, physicality, defensive discipline, shooting confidence, and how quickly he can adjust to the speed of the league.   Then, the conversation turns to Dailyn Swain. Is it too early to worry about the rookie, or have there been signs that Bulls fans should pay attention to? Haize and Pat debate whether Swain’s Summer League struggles are normal rookie growing pains or a sign that his development timeline may be longer than expected.   The guys also dive into Jaylin Sellers and whether he has a real path to earning NBA minutes with the Bulls. Sellers may not be one of the biggest names on the roster, but his scoring ability, confidence, and opportunity within Chicago’s development structure could make him an underrated player to watch.   Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-bulls/   Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba       Follow Locked On Bulls on Twitter Locked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBulls Haize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaize Pat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner   Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: DoorDash Next time someone goes off for 50, use promo code NBA50 the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.   DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.

The Chicago Bulls finally got in the win column at Summer League with a victory over the Washington Wizards, but the bigger Bulls story may be what continues to come out about the previous front office. 👀🐂   On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down the Bulls’ Summer League win over the Wizards and what stood out from Chicago’s young players. The guys discuss the latest performances from Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, and the rest of the Summer League roster as Bulls fans continue looking for signs of development, confidence, and fit under the new direction of the franchise.   But the conversation takes a bigger turn with new details surrounding the AKME era and reports about how Artūras Karnišovas ignored members of the Bulls’ scouting staff. Haize and Pat discuss why those details make the previous front office look even worse, how it may explain years of questionable roster decisions, and why the organization badly needed a fresh voice in charge.   The guys also react to Tiago Splitter filling out his coaching staff and what that means for the Bulls entering the 2026-27 season. With Splitter now putting his staff in place, Chicago’s new era is starting to take shape around development, accountability, and a clearer basketball identity.   Topics Include: Bulls Summer League win over the Washington Wizards Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, and Noa Essengue takeaways What matters most from Summer League wins and losses New details on AKME’s front office dysfunction Reports that AK ignored Bulls scouting staff input Why the Bulls needed a front office reset Tiago Splitter filling out his coaching staff What Splitter’s staff says about the Bulls’ direction Bryson Graham’s new era compared to AKME’s approach   The Bulls’ Summer League win was a positive step, but the bigger picture is becoming clearer: Chicago is trying to move beyond years of front office mistakes and build a modern organization with better alignment from the front office to the coaching staff to the roster.   🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down the Bulls’ Summer League win, the latest AKME fallout, and Tiago Splitter’s completed coaching staff.

The Chicago Bulls dropped Summer League Game Two in a loss to the Utah Jazz, but the biggest conversation may not be the final score — it may be whether Caleb Wilson has already shown enough. 👀🐂   On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer react to the Bulls’ Summer League loss to the Jazz and break down the biggest takeaways from Game Two. How did Chicago’s young players respond? What stood out from the rotation? And what should Bulls fans actually care about more than the scoreboard?   The main question: is it time for the Bulls to shut Caleb Wilson down in Summer League?   After two games, Wilson has already given Bulls fans plenty to talk about with his size, activity, feel, and long-term upside. Haize and Pat debate whether Chicago should keep giving him reps to build rhythm and confidence, or protect one of the franchise’s most important young pieces before Summer League becomes more risk than reward.   The guys also discuss the Bulls’ open 15th roster spot and what Bryson Graham should do next. Should Chicago add another shooter? A veteran ball-handler? More frontcourt insurance? Or should the Bulls keep the spot open for flexibility as the offseason continues?   Topics Include: Bulls Summer League Game Two reaction Chicago’s loss to the Utah Jazz Caleb Wilson’s early Summer League performance Should the Bulls shut Caleb Wilson down? Development reps vs. injury risk What Bulls fans should watch beyond the box score Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, and young player development Bulls’ final roster spot debate Best options for Chicago’s 15th roster spot Bryson Graham’s next offseason decision   Summer League is about development, not wins and losses — but when a young player starts showing real promise, the Bulls have to decide how much more they need to see.   🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down the Bulls’ Summer League loss to the Jazz, the Caleb Wilson shutdown debate, and what Chicago should do with its final roster spot.   Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-bulls/   Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba       Follow Locked On Bulls on Twitter Locked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBulls Haize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaize Pat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner   Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: DoorDash Next time someone goes off for 50, use promo code NBA50 the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.   DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.

    The Chicago Bulls are ranked 27th in post-free agency NBA power rankings, and Bulls fans have every reason to ask one question: is that fair, or is Chicago being overlooked again? 👀🐂   On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer react to the Bulls being placed near the bottom of the league after an offseason that brought in Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Nic Claxton, Norman Powell, and Zach Collins. Did the national view of Chicago ignore the actual roster improvements, or does the ranking expose the reality that the Bulls still have major questions?   The guys break down where the Bulls stand after free agency and whether Bryson Graham’s first offseason should be viewed as patient, calculated, and development-focused — or too conservative for a team that still needed more shooting, playmaking, and lineup balance.   Haize and Pat also debate the biggest missed opportunity of the Bulls’ offseason. Was it failing to add another proven three-point shooter? Not using the final roster spot aggressively? Not making a bigger trade? Or was the real missed opportunity not creating a clearer path toward either winning now or fully rebuilding?   Plus, the guys discuss Tiago Splitter being hyped for Dailyn Swain and why the rookie may be one of the most underrated storylines entering Summer League and training camp. Swain may not be getting the same attention as Caleb Wilson, but his defensive tools, size, athleticism, and developmental upside could make him a major piece in Chicago’s future.   The Bulls have a new front office direction, a new head coach, and a more interesting roster — but being ranked 27th shows that respect still has to be earned. Now the question is whether Chicago can prove the league wrong, or whether the concerns about this offseason are valid.   🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down the Bulls’ low power ranking, the biggest missed opportunity of the offseason, and why Tiago Splitter’s belief in Dailyn Swain could matter more than fans realize.   Follow Locked On Bulls on Twitter Locked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBulls Haize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaize Pat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Tiago Splitter era is officially underway, and his first Summer League practice may have already given Chicago Bulls fans a glimpse into the tone, identity, and expectations he wants to establish. 👀🐂   On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer react to Tiago Splitter setting the tone at the Bulls’ first Summer League practice and what that could mean for a team trying to build a new culture under a new front office and coaching staff.   The guys discuss whether the Bulls are forming a real team with a clear identity — or if this roster is still just a fun collection of young talent, veteran scoring, and intriguing upside. With Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Josh Giddey, Nic Claxton, Norman Powell, and Zach Collins all part of the new-look roster, Chicago has more interesting pieces than before. But do those pieces actually fit together?   Haize and Pat also ask whether Bulls fans are sleeping on Dailyn Swain. The rookie may not be getting the same level of attention as Caleb Wilson, but his size, defensive tools, athleticism, and long-term upside could make him one of the more important development stories of the season.   Topics Include: Tiago Splitter’s first Summer League practice tone What Splitter’s early message says about Bulls culture Are the Bulls building a real team identity? Is Chicago more than just a fun collection of talent? Dailyn Swain’s upside and possible role Why Bulls fans should pay attention to Swain in Summer League Caleb Wilson and the young core development track How the new roster fits around Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis What expectations should be for Splitter in year one   The Bulls have new talent, a new coach, and a new direction — but now comes the real question: can Tiago Splitter turn interesting pieces into a team that actually makes sense?   🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down Tiago Splitter’s first Summer League practice, the Bulls’ roster identity, and why Dailyn Swain may be one of the most underrated storylines in Chicago.   Follow Locked On Bulls on Twitter Locked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBulls Haize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaize Pat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
