7. Chicago Bulls – Michael Porter Jr., F, Missouri

If the board falls this way, the Chicago Bulls have to stop and count their blessings. Depending on who you’re willing to believe, the Bulls are hoping that Michael Porter Jr. falls to them at 7.

Despite their potential issues in the backcourt, drafting a player like MPJ could give them a future star and a potential face of the franchise. MPJ is already a big name and put him in a city like Chicago and he’s only going to shine more.

MPJ is certainly a risk for any team, but it’s one that the Bulls should be willing to make.
