7. Chicago Bulls – Mo Bamba, C, Texas

After the Orlando Magic take Young, which many may consider a bit of a reach, the Chicago Bulls have the luxury of Mo Bamba falling to their laps at No. 7. And the Bulls should gladly take the chance on a prospect that could end up being the best player in a few years.

Bamba can do a bit of it all, along with protecting the paint at an elite level. He averaged nearly four blocks per game during his freshman season at Texas, and has shown the ability to hit the 3-pointer during his pre-draft workouts.

Bamba could be the next great unicorn in the NBA, if he continues to develop at an unprecedented pace.
