Team context: Chicago Bulls · Research cutoff: July 18, 2026.
Role and baseline
Chicago signed Sellers to a two-way contract on July 3. In 33 Providence games he averaged 18.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals, and 2.4 threes in 30.0 minutes on .473/.429/.859 shooting. G League announcement · College Basketball Reference
Sellers scored 24 in Chicago's July 14 win and 17 in the July 17 finale. The official NBA roster's fantasy note still cautioned that even good Vegas play might not move him up the regular-season depth chart. Bulls recap · NBA finale recap · NBA Bulls roster
Update 2026-07-19: HoopsRumors' Vegas wrap read his event the same way this dossier does — willing, NBA-level shooter, but one who "must learn to operate in lower-usage roles" to earn NBA time. That supports the call-up-contingent framing rather than changing it. HoopsRumors Bulls Notes, 2026-07-19
Conditional 2026-27 projection
| Base team Min | Conditional GP/MPG | FG% | FT% | 3PM | PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 20/8 | .435 | .830 | 0.8 | 4.0 | 1.0 | 0.4 | 0.2 | 0.1 | 0.4 |
Any call-up minutes replace wing minutes within the 240-minute team model.
Fantasy fit
- Redraft/points: no standard-league draft value; watch the transactions page.
- Dynasty: deep-league two-way stash because shooting is an NBA-level swing skill.
- Strengths: threes, FT%, efficient scoring, mature off-ball role.
- Weaknesses: assists, defensive events, draft capital, and crowded veteran/prospect wings.
Range and triggers
- Floor: Windy City scorer without meaningful NBA time.
- Ceiling: converts to a standard deal and becomes a 12-minute spacing wing.
- Watch: G League three-point volume, defense, and whether Chicago moves Okoro or Williams.
Career record
Pre-NBA: Five college seasons across three schools. Ball State 2021-22 (6.7 PTS, 1.8 REB as sixth man, MAC All-Freshman) and 2022-23 (13.5 PTS, 3.7 REB, third-team All-MAC); UCF 2023-24 (15.9 PTS, honorable mention All-Big 12); UCF 2024-25 lost to injury after three games; Providence 2025-26, 33 starts, 30.0 MPG, 18.3 PTS, 4.2 REB, 1.6 AST, 0.9 STL, 2.4 3PM on .473/.429/.859, second-team All-Big East. The shooting line in his final season is the entire case for him — high volume from three at a high clip, with free-throw touch to corroborate it. Draft: undrafted (2026); signed a two-way contract with Chicago on July 3, 2026.
Sellers has never appeared in an NBA regular-season game. His most recent competitive basketball is the 2025-26 Providence season above, plus 2026 Las Vegas Summer League for Chicago, where he scored 24 on July 14 and 17 on July 17.
Durability: The one real flag is 2024-25, when he played three games at UCF before an injury ended the season. He answered it with a full 33-game starting year at Providence.
Trajectory: A 23-year-old five-year college scorer who arrives with one NBA-caliber skill and no draft capital. The two-way slot means Windy City is the default assignment and NBA appearances are contingent, not scheduled. He becomes relevant only if Chicago moves a wing — Isaac Okoro and Patrick Williams are the obvious candidates — and he holds the three-point volume in the G League well enough to force a standard-contract conversion. Nothing in his profile suggests a rotation role opens on merit alone.

Open questions
- Was the 42.9% college three-point season a stable skill at NBA distance?
- Can he defend well enough for Splitter to trust him?
- Does Summer League success earn a higher call-up priority than his two-way status implies?
