Tiago Splitter Sets The Tone! Are Bulls Fans Sleeping On Dailyn Swain?

The Tiago Splitter era is officially underway, and his first Summer League practice may have already given Chicago Bulls fans a glimpse into the tone, identity, and expectations he wants to establish. 👀🐂

On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer react to Tiago Splitter setting the tone at the Bulls’ first Summer League practice and what that could mean for a team trying to build a new culture under a new front office and coaching staff.

The guys discuss whether the Bulls are forming a real team with a clear identity — or if this roster is still just a fun collection of young talent, veteran scoring, and intriguing upside. With Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Josh Giddey, Nic Claxton, Norman Powell, and Zach Collins all part of the new-look roster, Chicago has more interesting pieces than before. But do those pieces actually fit together?

Haize and Pat also ask whether Bulls fans are sleeping on Dailyn Swain. The rookie may not be getting the same level of attention as Caleb Wilson, but his size, defensive tools, athleticism, and long-term upside could make him one of the more important development stories of the season.

Topics Include:

Tiago Splitter’s first Summer League practice tone

What Splitter’s early message says about Bulls culture

Is Chicago more than just a fun collection of talent?

What expectations should be for Splitter in year one

The Bulls have new talent, a new coach, and a new direction — but now comes the real question: can Tiago Splitter turn interesting pieces into a team that actually makes sense?

🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down Tiago Splitter’s first Summer League practice, the Bulls’ roster identity, and why Dailyn Swain may be one of the most underrated storylines in Chicago.
