Bulls Select Noa Essengue

The Chicago Bulls have selected Noa Essengue with the No. 12 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

A French forward who suited up for a professional game mere days ago, he is the second youngest player in the draft behind only No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg. Essengue has only climbed up draft boards in recent weeks, flashing an increasingly versatile skillset in the German League with Ratiopharm Ulm. The 18-year-old actually left the team to attend the NBA Draft while they were up 2-1 in the German League Finals.

Essengue has been connected to the Chicago Bulls for weeks, with several mock drafts having him come off the board at No. 12. Why? Well, he seems to fit exactly the archetype that this organization started to covet last season with their selection of Matas Buzelis.
