Caleb Wilson & Matas Buzelis Ranked Top 20 PFs! Are The Bulls’ Best-Case Hopes Getting REAL?

The Chicago Bulls’ young frontcourt is getting national attention, and Bulls fans may have a real reason to be excited. 👀🐂

On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer react to Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis both ranking inside HoopsHype’s top 20 power forwards for the 2026-27 NBA season, with Wilson listed at No. 15 and Buzelis at No. 20. That ranking creates a major question for Bulls fans: are Caleb and Matas already being viewed as the future foundation of Chicago basketball, or is the hype moving faster than the development curve?

The guys break down what the recognition means for both players. Caleb Wilson enters his rookie year with major expectations after being drafted No. 4, while Matas Buzelis is looking to build on his second-year leap and prove he can become one of the Bulls’ most important two-way players. If both forwards hit, Chicago’s rebuild could have a much stronger foundation than national rankings usually suggest.

Haize and Pat also discuss Jaylin Sellers explaining his NBA journey and why his story matters. Sellers signed a two-way contract with the Bulls after going undrafted, and his scoring ability, toughness, and confidence could make him one of the more interesting underdog stories entering training camp.

Plus, the guys lay out the best-case and worst-case scenarios for the Bulls’ 2026-27 season. What happens if Josh Giddey takes a leap, Matas becomes a true two-way force, Caleb contributes early, Nic Claxton anchors the defense, Norman Powell stabilizes the offense, and the bench finds real scoring? And on the other side, what happens if the shooting issues, half-court offense, rookie growing pains, and rotation questions hold this team back?
