Loser – Chicago Bulls
I didn’t like anything Chicago did here. First, the Bulls traded their star Jimmy Butler, and most people thought that was coming, they just didn’t think the Bulls would get so little out of him.
Chicago traded them all star player to Minnesota for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, and the 7th overall pick, which became Lauri Markkanen while also trading away their first round pick. Markkanen is a seven footer who can shoot the ball and Chicago will need that but unfortunately, that’s all he does at this moment is score.
In a 7 foot tall big man, you would hope he could help rebound, block and play shut down defense. Not saying Markkanen can’t do that, I just haven’t seen it yet, Losing Butler for practically nothing and drafting a risk at 7th overall. Chicago walked away from this draft looking the worst.
