Bryson Graham takes charge as Bulls' new basketball operations leader
The Chicago Bulls have named Bryson Graham as their new executive vice president of basketball operations. The announcement came on Monday, marking a significant change in the team’s leadership. Graham, 39, will now oversee all decisions within the basketball operations department. Graham brings extensive experience to his new role. He spent 15 seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans, working in various positions before becoming general manager. Most recently, he served as the senior vice president of basketball operations for the Atlanta Hawks, a post he held since last year.
During his time with the Hawks, the team recorded 46 wins—their highest total since the 2015-16 season. His leadership contributed to this improvement, earning recognition for his strategic approach. Before his professional career, Graham played college basketball at Texas A&M University from 2006 to 2009. He later returned to the Aggies as a graduate assistant, gaining early experience in basketball operations. The Bulls praised Graham as an elite talent evaluator with a strong grasp of building and maintaining a successful organisation. He expressed his honour in joining the franchise and pledged to deliver results for the city and its fans. A formal introductory press conference is scheduled for later this week.
Graham’s appointment places him at the centre of the Bulls’ basketball operations. His track record in talent evaluation and team development will shape the organisation’s future decisions. The press conference later this week will provide further details on his plans for the team.
