The Bulls may already have their Coby White replacement hiding in plain sight with Illinois guard Keaton Wagler emerging as a potential top-10 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Chicago traded White in one of its most underwhelming deals of this year's trade deadline, sending him to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dieng and three second-round picks.
The move became even more frustrating after those three second-rounders became two, and Dieng was rerouted to the Milwaukee Bucks for Nick Richards. (Dieng just posted 19 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, four blocks, a steal and hit three 3-pointers for the Bucks in a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
