Norman Powell Just Told Bulls Fans EXACTLY Why He Chose Chicago | Caleb Wilson's Development Path

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 11:43:03 GMT

The Chicago Bulls’ Norman Powell signing makes a lot more sense after hearing him explain why he chose Chicago.

Haize breaks down why Powell’s arrival is not just about scoring — it is about leadership, structure, accountability, and helping a young Bulls roster learn how to win. Powell spoke openly about wanting to be a vocal leader, lead by example, and help guide a young team both on and off the floor. For a Bulls team built around Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, and Nic Claxton, that matters.

The deal also gives Chicago flexibility. Powell’s reported two-year, $45.5 million contract with a team option in year two gives Bryson Graham a veteran scorer now without sacrificing long-term control. That makes Powell both a stabilizer and a potential asset.

Plus, Caleb Wilson continues to check the right boxes after his monster Summer League debut. Wilson explained why he is glad he did not shoot many threes at UNC, joked about finally having basketball as his full-time job, and revealed he has been taking 2,000 to 2,500 shots per day while preparing for Year 1.

🔥 Topics include:

Why Norman Powell chose the Chicago Bulls
Powell embracing the veteran leadership role
Why his contract gives the Bulls flexibility
How Powell helps Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Dailyn Swain, and Josh Giddey
Caleb Wilson’s 2,000–2,500 shots per day routine

Is Bulls Caleb Wilson the Early Favorite for NBA Rookie of the Year?!

Matt Peck, Big Dave Watson — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Is Caleb Wilson already the early favorite for the 2026 NBA Rookie of the Year? The Chicago Bulls' No. 4 overall pick made a statement in his NBA Summer League debut, exploding for 35 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 3 blocks while knocking down 7-of-11 from three-point range, setting a new Summer League debut scoring record despite Chicago's narrow loss to Memphis. After starring at North Carolina, Wilson has wasted no time proving he belongs—could this be the start of a Rookie of the Year campaign?

Bulls Fans May Have UNDERESTIMATED This New Core

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 14:04:42 GMT

Are the Chicago Bulls actually further ahead than fans thought?

After Caleb Wilson’s explosive Summer League debut, Matas Buzelis’ growth, Josh Giddey’s playmaking skill set, and the new roster structure around Tiago Splitter, it may be time for Bulls fans to shift the conversation from “Are the Bulls stuck?” to “Did Chicago finally build a real developmental foundation?”

Haize breaks down why the Bulls’ new direction feels different — not because Chicago is suddenly a finished product, but because the outline finally makes basketball sense. Wilson gives the Bulls real frontcourt upside. Matas gives them a legitimate third-year leap candidate. Giddey gives them a 6-foot-8 organizer who can rebound, pass, and push pace. Add in Norman Powell, Nic Claxton, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, and Splitter’s developmental approach, and the Bulls may have a more coherent path than many expected.

But Haize also keeps the conversation balanced. Shooting is still fragile. Half-court creation still has questions. Young players are inconsistent. Giddey still has to prove he can close games and survive defensively when defenses tighten up.

🔥 Topics include:

Why the Bulls may be ahead of schedule
Caleb Wilson’s star flashes after his 35-point Summer League debut
Why Wilson’s jumper changes the conversation
Matas Buzelis as a real third-year leap candidate
Josh Giddey’s role as Chicago’s offensive connector
Why Norman Powell and Nic Claxton help the development plan
How Tiago Splitter can create a real Bulls identity
Why this rebuild feels different from past Bulls hype
Bulls fan voicemails on Caleb, Noa, Swain, Matas, Giddey, and the roster

Caleb Wilson’s RECORD Debut Changes Everything For The Bulls | Expectations For Noa Essengue & Dailyn Swain

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 12:13:58 GMT

Caleb Wilson made his Chicago Bulls Summer League debut unforgettable.

The Bulls may have dropped their first Las Vegas Summer League game to the Memphis Grizzlies, but the No. 4 overall pick gave fans exactly what they wanted to see. Caleb Wilson erupted for 35 points, shooting 12-of-21 from the field and a ridiculous 7-of-11 from three-point range, while also adding 5 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals. The biggest question about Wilson entering the NBA was the jumper — and in one game, he matched his entire UNC three-point make total from last season.

Haize breaks down why Wilson’s debut was more than just a hot shooting night, how he outplayed No. 3 pick Cam Boozer, and what still needs to improve after a six-turnover performance.

Plus, the show dives into Dailyn Swain’s rough first outing, why his on-ball role may have made things harder, and why Bulls fans should not panic after one Summer League game. Haize also reacts to Noa Essengue’s strong defensive flashes after finishing with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 2 steals, and explains what each young Bull needs to show in Game 2 against the Utah Jazz.

🔥 Topics include:

Caleb Wilson’s historic 35-point Summer League debut
Wilson shooting 7-of-11 from three-point range
Why Wilson looked like the best player on the floor
The good and bad from his first game
Dailyn Swain’s struggles as an on-ball creator
Noa Essengue flashing real defensive upside
Game 2 expectations vs the Utah Jazz

Bulls Start Summer League; Land Norman Powell in Free Agency (w/ Kris Amundson, Larro Golden)

bullsgold — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 12:50:13 GMT

Swish Theory's Kris Amundson and Larro Golden return to Bulls Gold to unpack the Bulls offseason. We start with more Caleb Wilson discussion. Then we dive into Dailyn Swain and what makes him such a unique pick for the Bulls. We shift into discussion of Bryson Graham's offseason acquisitions in Nic Claxton and Norman Powell and wonder if both were good uses of the team's cap space. We talk about moves on the margin with the Bulls two-way players in Jaylin Sellers and Tobe Awaka. That leads into discussion about how the Bulls approached the second round in the draft. We close with some thoughts on what's left for the team in the offseason and what we're looking forward to seeing in Summer League.

How The Bulls Veterans Could Be Long Term options Or Trade Deadline Dynamite

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 10:38:08 GMT

🐂🔥 The Chicago Bulls may not be done reshaping this roster — and the trade deadline could be where Bryson Graham’s real plan starts to reveal itself.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down which of the Bulls’ key veterans could become trade chips before the deadline, including Norman Powell, Zach Collins, Nic Claxton, Tre Jones, and Jalen Smith. Graham did not make flashy short-term moves just to chase mediocrity. Instead, he built a roster with optionality, tradable contracts, team options, expiring deals, and veterans who can help the young core now — or bring back assets later.

Could Norman Powell’s two-year deal become one of the best trade chips on the market? Does Nic Claxton’s fit with Josh Giddey raise his value? Could Tre Jones be too useful for a contender to ignore? And with the Bulls’ frontcourt getting crowded, could Jalen Smith or Zach Collins become the odd men out?

Plus, Haize reacts to Tiago Splitter’s early impact as Bulls head coach. Splitter is coaching the first two Summer League games, setting a serious tone, emphasizing rebounding, defense, effort, communication, and development. Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain have already given their first impressions — and it sounds like Tiago is bringing the exact kind of no-nonsense approach this Bulls rebuild needs.

🔥 Topics include:

5 Bulls veterans who could be traded by the deadline
Why Norman Powell’s contract gives Chicago options
Nic Claxton’s value as a fit with Josh Giddey
Tre Jones as a clean expiring trade asset
Jalen Smith and the crowded Bulls frontcourt
Zach Collins as a potential deadline sweetener
Tiago Splitter’s serious Summer League tone
Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain’s first impressions
Whether Tiago is a foundation coach or long-term answer
Bulls coaching staff changes still coming

With all the newly arriving players via trade, free agency and the draft - Norman Powell, Nic Claxton, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain - which holdover players from last season’s roster could see their role diminish?

Bulls Offseason Was A WIN… But Bryson Graham Still Has Work To Do

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 11:30:18 GMT

The Chicago Bulls’ offseason may not make them a top-tier Eastern Conference team overnight, but it absolutely set a new tone for the future.

Haize breaks down why Bryson Graham’s first offseason should be viewed as a win for the Bulls — not because Chicago is a finished product, but because the franchise finally has direction. After years of drifting between competing, retooling, developing, and protecting the old core, the Bulls now look younger, longer, faster, more athletic, more defensive, more developmental, and more flexible.

The conversation starts with the front-office reset, the hiring of Tiago Splitter, and the roster identity now forming around Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Nic Claxton, Dailyn Swain, Rob Dillingham, Noa Essengue, Leonard Miller, and more.

But Haize also explains why the job is far from finished. The Bulls still need more shooting, more half-court creation, honest evaluation of Giddey’s long-term role, and clear developmental roles for a crowded forward room.

Plus, the Bulls may have quietly added some of the best undrafted shooters in Summer League. Could Jaylin Sellers, Donovan Atwell, Houston Mallette, Antonio Reeves, or Boo Buie steal a roster spot? And should Chicago look at Max Strus if Cleveland is shopping him to clear salary?

🔥 Topics include:

🐂 Why the Bulls offseason was a tone-setting win

📈 Bryson Graham’s roster-building vision

🧠 Tiago Splitter’s development fit

🎯 Why shooting is still Chicago’s biggest need

👀 Undrafted shooters who could force a decision

💰 Could Max Strus fit the Bulls’ final roster spot?

🚨 What Graham cannot overlook going forward

Bulls Ranked 27th?! Did Chicago Blow Its Biggest Offseason Chance?

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 16:26:48 GMT

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.
