The Chicago Bulls’ Norman Powell signing makes a lot more sense after hearing him explain why he chose Chicago.

Haize breaks down why Powell’s arrival is not just about scoring — it is about leadership, structure, accountability, and helping a young Bulls roster learn how to win. Powell spoke openly about wanting to be a vocal leader, lead by example, and help guide a young team both on and off the floor. For a Bulls team built around Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, and Nic Claxton, that matters.

The deal also gives Chicago flexibility. Powell’s reported two-year, $45.5 million contract with a team option in year two gives Bryson Graham a veteran scorer now without sacrificing long-term control. That makes Powell both a stabilizer and a potential asset.

Plus, Caleb Wilson continues to check the right boxes after his monster Summer League debut. Wilson explained why he is glad he did not shoot many threes at UNC, joked about finally having basketball as his full-time job, and revealed he has been taking 2,000 to 2,500 shots per day while preparing for Year 1.
