"We're a really tall team. We got a lot of 4s, guys that can make plays." - @BuzelisMatas Bulls players over 6-foot-7: Via @chicagobulls on X

What happened: Matas Buzelis said Chicago has depth at forward with playmaking size. The group includes Nic Claxton at 6-11 with Caleb Wilson and Leonard Miller at 6-10.

Why it matters: Added length at center lets Chicago defend more aggressively on the perimeter. Versatility across the 4 spot shapes minutes and matchups for the upcoming 2026-27 season.

By the numbers: Over 6-7: 6-11 Claxton; 6-10 Wilson, Miller; 6-9 Collins; 6-8 Buzelis, Smith, Essengue.

What to watch: Watch how Chicago divides frontcourt minutes in camp.
