The Chicago Bulls are deeper and arguably more talented on the wing than at any other position on the 2025-26 roster. But Julian Phillips reminded everyone during the preseason that he can give the team something no other player does, and that he may mean the difference between another mediocre Play-In Tournament run and the Bulls' best season since 2021-22.
