Josh Gidi believes the Chicago Bulls have the potential to make the playoffs.

With the NBA preseason set to begin in October, teams will be engaged in training. Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Gidi recently stated in an interview that, given the players' talent and their healthy condition, he believes the Chicago Bulls have the ability to contend for a playoff spot in the new season.

In the 2025/26 NBA regular season, the Chicago Bulls only managed a record of 31 wins and 51 losses, finishing 12th in the Eastern Conference standings and failing to make the playoffs. Following Billy Donovan's departure, Thiago Splitter became the Chicago Bulls' new head coach in June.

In addition, Josh Gidi played 54 games for the Chicago Bulls in the NBA regular season last year, averaging 17.0 points per game with a field goal percentage of 44.8% and a three-point field goal percentage of 36.4%.

Josh Gidi, 23, said, "The East is a very competitive division, but I think our roster is very good. We have experienced veterans, young players, players who have played in the playoffs and have experience in the playoffs, and people who are very eager to get into the playoffs."

“We’ve had periods where we looked like a really great team, but then we went through a slump and played terribly. So, it’s very important to be consistent. We have a deep squad that allows for a variety of different players to contribute to our tactical options, and I think those are very important things.”

In addition, Josh Gidi said, "I think the key is to maintain a high standard of performance every day, because in the middle of the season, the games become a very long and very grueling phase, and there may even be a day when you don't want to play at all. I think it is in these games that you can take the opportunity to steal a lot of wins."

"Keeping healthy is of course the top priority, but it's not always something we can control. But I think in about a month, we'll know how the new season will start."
