The Bulls entered this draft period (which lasted for two days, similar to the previous year's draft) with one first-round selection and one second-round selection.[1][2] This draft would be notable for the Chicago Bulls losing a coin toss over the Dallas Mavericks for higher draft lottery odds, which subsequently later led to Dallas claiming the #1 pick of the draft in the process.[3][4]
