This week, we react to the hiring of Tiago Splitter as the new head coach, walk through his quick coaching rise, and ask the big question: is this a real development-focused move, or just another confusing Bulls decision? From there, we look ahead to the NBA Draft and break down what the Bulls should do with the #4 pick, best player available, biggest upside swing, safest option, and the pick that would feel the most painfully Bulls.

Caleb Wilson's Twitter bio is two words: "pursuing greatness."
Those who know him believe he can get there.
My feature on Wilson's path to the NBA Draft, with insight from his coaches and trainer on why he's only scratching the surface of his potential: https://t.co/XkaewVcBLR
What can we learn from the way that the Knicks built their roster? The discussion is mostly revolving around small point guards. There are other, better lessons to take away that other teams can replicate:

🚨NEW PODCAST🚨
This week on the Domestic Draft Podcast, Evan and Dan crack open a couple of pilsners and try to make sense of a brutal Cubs slide that has quickly turned optimism into full-on fan anxiety. After a season that already featured a 10-game winning streak, the Cubs have now answered with a 10-game losing streak, silent bats, ugly losses, and the kind of baseball that makes you question why you signed up for this in the first place. Is it time to panic?
The guys also check in on the latest Bears stadium drama, with Arlington Heights still hanging around while Hammond, Indiana enters the picture, plus early OTA storylines around Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson. Then they wrap with a Bulls refresh, including the end of AKME, the new front office hires, and the coaching names starting to surface as Chicago finally tries to build something different.

Do you want Quinn, Bulls Nation?
Life has been full lately, and we know we have not been dropping episodes as consistently as we want to.
That is what makes it so cool to see people still checking out the show and supporting us anyway. 481 downloads in the last 30 days is honestly awesome, and we really appreciate it.
More to come. Appreciate you all sticking with Domestic Draft.

On this week’s episode, we’re talking all things Bulls basketball with special guest Big Dave (@BAWLSPORTS) from the @CHGO_Sports Bulls Podcast. The Bulls are off to a 6–1 start and sitting atop the Eastern Conference, but is this hot streak for real or just a mirage? We break down what’s clicking early, from Josh Giddey’s All-Star-level play and Matas Buzelis’ sophomore leap to Vooch’s veteran leadership and much more.
We also look ahead to Coby White’s return, debate Patrick Williams’ role, and ask the big question. Can this group sustain their chemistry and keep the good vibes rolling in Chicago?
As always, we close things out with our Domestic Draft Cheers & Flat Beer Awards, toasting who’s earning a cold one and who’s getting a flat pour after another wild week in Chicago sports.
