As the new general manager of the Chicago Bulls, Bryson Graham overhauls a roster with plenty of shortcomings, Memphis native Kam Jones finds himself in the mix and is headed to Bulls.
On the second day of the 2026 NBA Draft, the Bulls traded for Jones along with a pick swap and cash from the Indiana Pacers in exchange for the No. 38 overall selection, guard Braden Smith of Purdue.
Jones grew up in Memphis and was a star for Evangelical Christian School. He later played for AAU powerhouse Team Thad.
Jones, 24, was drafted in the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft. He had an up-and-down rookie season with the Pacers and averaged 4.4 points and 3.6 rebounds through 37 games.
Jones missed the start of the 2025-26 season with a stress reaction in his lower back that happened in the offseason. Jones' whims continued after he was arrested for reckless driving and resisting arrest in October of 2025. He publicly apologized.
