Bryson Graham said on May 6 he'd cast a wide net for his head coaching hire and list is indeed long. Qualities Graham emphasized? Leadership, high character, good on both sides of ball and commitment to player development: “You just want the most talented person you believe in."

Bryson Graham made clear in introductory news conference that front office build out would be first priority, even over coaching search. Said this last week on The Fastbreak but several Bulls assistants are expected to return and Wes Unseld Jr. could be interviewed for head job

Can confirm Bulls plan to hire Stephen Mervis for prominent front office role, which @ShamsCharania 1st reported. Mervis, an Orlando Magic assistant general manager, was prominent target of Bryson Graham immediately after Graham landed job.

Acie Law’s brief Bulls’ stint afforded me thrill of interviewing Ernie Banks, who was Law’s great uncle. From my 2010 story in @chicagotribune

Chatter at draft combine yesterday was this hire was close, as are others. Law played with Bryson Graham at Texas A&M and briefly played for Bulls in 2010, coming from Charlotte in Tyrus Thomas trade. Team hasn’t confirmed hire yet.

In other words, in the eyes of some, Bulls can pick whichever player from “big 4” that’s still on board at No. 4. New exec VP Bryson Graham said Sunday he’ll go through process with open mind, as he should. But plenty people I talked to believe this is four-player draft

The Bulls met with ALL OF THE PLAYERS More seriously, busy day at NBA Draft Combine, where Bulls indeed were busy meeting w/ prospects for Nos. 4 and 15 One thing I heard repeatedly last two days from talent evaluators/execs from other teams: The first “tier” drops off after 4

Cameron Boozer says he and his brother Cayden tried playing hockey for a few years after going to Blackhawks games while his dad Carlos was a member of the Bulls "We went to a Blackhawks game and we just really enjoyed that experience and we wanted to try it."

Medical Update: Josh Giddey recently underwent a successful right ankle arthroscopy. Giddey is scheduled to start basketball activities in approximately three months and is expected to return for the start of training camp.

"You have a chance to get three rotation players...and set that foundation for better things in the future." @KCJHoop explains the opportunity Bryson Graham has with three picks in the top 40 in this year's draft
