Summary
The Chicago Bulls had a successful first round of the NBA Draft, selecting Caleb Wilson at No. 4 and Dailyn Swain at No. 15, earning praise for executive vice president Bryson Graham. However, momentum stalled in the second round when Graham selected Purdue guard Braden Smith at No. 38 and traded him to the Pac, triggering flashbacks for a fan base accustomed to head-scratching draft decisions. Despite the second-round controversy, Graham stood by his decisions, and the Bulls were still considered draft winners overall.
