What is the Chicago Bulls' roster for Summer League 2023?

The Chicago Bulls will have an interesting group of players ready to suit up for Summer League. Although they didn't have a draft pick this year, the Bulls made a trade to eventually land the 34th pick and added forward Julian Phillips from Tennessee.

Phillips will be a part of the Summer League along with some undrafted players from this year's draft such as Adama Sanogo and Tyree Applebee. Additionally, some familiar faces such as Terry Taylor, Ben Coupet, Henri Drell, Javon Freeman-Liberty, Justin Lewis, Dalen Terry and Daniel Oturu will also make an appearance.

Some newcomers to Chicago such as Nate Darling, who played a few games for the Charlotte Hornets as a guard last season, will also be valuable. While also considering the surplus of international players on the squad, the Bulls have rounded out in an interesting fashion.

However, it is safe to say that Chicago are not viewed as favorites to win it all in the Summer League. With formidable teams featuring the most hyped prospects in this year's draft, the Bulls may be facing an uphill battle.
