This isn't a good omen for Chicago.
Bulls have horrendous history with the 4th pick in the NBA Draft originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Chicago Bulls , on the one hand, got some exciting news in the 2026 NBA Draft lottery.
They moved up to the No. 4 overall pick -- which means they'll have the chance to choose one of AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, Darryn Peterson and Caleb Wilson, if they want. There's just one problem: The Bulls have a horrific history with the fourth pick in the draft.
They've earned the fourth draft slot five times in their history. It's not pretty. In 1968, they took Tom Boerwinkle.
In 1980, it was Kelvin Ransey. Then in 2000 and 2001, they had No. 4 in back-to-back years.
