The 2020–21 Chicago Bulls season was the 55th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Bulls replaced Jim Boylen,[1] with former Oklahoma City Thunder coach Billy Donovan on September 22.[2]
Draft picks
Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | College / Club |

2 | 44 | Marko Simonović | Power forward / Center | Montenegro | Mega Soccerbet (Serbia) |
Before the start of the 2020 NBA draft period, the Bulls' selection was originally held stuck at the #7 selection before the NBA suspended their season on March 12, 2020 and cancelled the rest of Chicago's season by June 5.[3] Chicago had the second-best record of teams that had their seasons cancelled during that period. On the night of the 2020 NBA draft lottery, the Bulls moved up three spots from the seventh selection to the fourth pick of the draft. The Bulls also have a second-round selection at #44, but that selection was acquired from the Memphis Grizzlies after their own second-round pick was traded to the Washington Wizards.
