No. 17 Chicago Bulls- John Collins (Wake Forest, SO, Power Forward)
Depending on what the Chicago Bulls decide on doing with Jimmy Butler, their draft position could vary greatly. Assuming Butler stays put and with losses of Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic at the NBA Trade Deadline, Chicago grabs the big man here.
Collins has scored 20+ points in 12 straight games with seven of them ending up being double-doubles. This is a man who could rise on the draft boards, especially after the pre-draft workouts, and Chicago could definitely use a scorer and rebounder down low.
