A pair of former Texas A&M basketball<\/a> players are teaming up once again with the Chicago Bulls. But they won’t be on the court.<\/p>\n

The Bulls earlier this month announced<\/a> they were hiring former A&M guard Bryson Graham to lead its front office. This week, it’s been reported that Acie Law IV is joining him in the Windy City.<\/p>\n

Graham, 39, will serve as the Bulls’ new executive vice president of basketball operations after spending the last two years with the Atlanta Hawks as the senior VP of basketball operations.<\/p>\n

“In this role, Graham will be responsible for all decisions made in Chicago\u2019s basketball operations department,” a news release from the Bulls states. He started his career with the New Orleans Pelicans<\/a> and was in the Crescent City for 15 years before moving to Atlanta.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My entire career has been built on the belief that sustained success starts with finding the right players and developing an all-around impactful culture,” Graham said<\/a> in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Graham isn’t the only one with College Station connections coming to Chicago. Michael\u00a0Scuitto, of the HoopsHype website, first reported\u00a0Thursday\u00a0<\/a>that Graham is hiring<\/a> his former teammate Law as vice president of player personnel. Before reportedly joining Graham in Chicago, Law worked as the Brooklyn Nets’ Director of Player Personnel since 2025. Law has also worked as a scout for the Sacramento Kings and the Oklahoma City Thunder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Law was an All-American and the first Aggie to have his jersey retired. He is also noted for his\u00a0heroics<\/a> in a March 1, 2006 Lone Star Showdown game when he drained a buzzer beater against Texas for A&M’s sixth straight win and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Law played nine seasons of professional basketball between overseas teams and the NBA, including the Bulls. Graham, who averaged about 2 points per game over 28 appearances for the Aggies, and Law overlapped for one season in College Station.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They join a revamped Bulls front office that fired Art\u016bras Karni\u0161ovas, the former executive VP of basketball operations, and his general manager Marc Eversley. The tandem spent six seasons in Chicago and the team never won a playoff series in that time. ESPN’s\u00a0Shams Charania<\/a> also reported Thursday that the Bulls hired former Orlando Magic assistant GM Stephen Mervis as its senior VP of basketball operations, serving under Graham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A pair of former Texas A&M basketball players are teaming up once again with the Chicago Bulls.
