The Bulls roster is very close to being a finished product, with 14 players under contract for next season.
Last year, the Bulls regularly utilized two players on two-way contracts, Antonio Blakeney and Ryan Arcidiacono. It’s plausible that the Bulls could fill their final open roster spot with a similar rotation this season.
Blakeney used last year’s opportunity to earn a guaranteed contract, and the Bulls are giving undrafted rookie Rawle Alkins the same opportunity.
Sources: Undrafted Arizona guard Rawle Alkins has agreed to a two-way NBA contract with the Chicago Bulls.

Alkins, a 5-star recruit coming out of high school, had his sophomore year derailed by injuries. He still declared early, a move he may regret considering he went undrafted.
But the Bulls are giving him a shot, hopefully he’ll be able to realize his full potential in the Windy City.
