A former Northwestern star highlights the Chicago Bulls’ 2026 NBA Summer League roster that will play in Las Vegas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
The Bulls unveiled their Summer League Roster on Friday night.<\/p>\n
The headliners are No. 4 overall pick Caleb Wilson and No. 15 overall pick Dailyn Swain. However, former Northwestern star and Wildcats all-time leading scorer Boo Buie will get a chance to impress the Bulls.<\/p>\n
Buie is on the roster, as is former Illinois State and Kentucky sharpshooter Antonio Reeves. Two-way contract players Jaylin Sellers and Tobe Awaka will see plenty of minutes, too.<\/p>\n
Noe Essengue, the Bulls’ No. 12 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, will also play in the Summer League.<\/p>\n
The Bulls’ also have included former Alabama center Charles Bediako on their Summer League roster. Bediako made national news after he tried to make a return to college basketball in 2026 after spending three years in the NBA’s G-League from 2023 to 2025.<\/p>\n

Head Coach: Tiago Splitter<\/p>\n
Assistant coaches: Henry Domercant, Austin Dufault and Martin Rancik (All three will rotate after Splitter coaches Game 1.)<\/p>\n
What we don’t know:<\/p>\n
There’s no indication of how many Summer League games Wilson and Swain will play.<\/p>\n
Usually, first-round picks get a chance to play a bit in the summer. However, they’re normally restricted to a game or two, especially top-five selections like Wilson.<\/p>\n
What’s next:<\/p>\n
The Bulls open Summer League play on Friday, July 10, and they’ll get a tour of the top of the NBA Draft.<\/p>\n
They’ll open against the Memphis Grizzlies and 2026 NBA Draft No. 3 overall pick Cameron Boozer. Following that, the Bulls play Darryn Peterson and the Utah Jazz on Monday, July 13, and AJ Dybantsa and the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, July 14.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bulls’ final game before the Summer League Playoffs is against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday, July 16.<\/p>\n
