22. Chicago Bulls

Maybe I’m a little too high on the Chicago Bulls, but I just find their roster extremely fascinating. I’m not sure if it’s all going to work, but it’s going to be fun to watch them try. A lineup of Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, Jabari Parker, Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr. is set to be one of the most interesting 5’s in all the league.

Maybe the Bulls don’t challenge for a playoff spot this season in the Eastern Conference, but they have the talent to be a real wild card. Of course, this is assuming that LaVine and Parker can remain healthy for the majority, if not all, of the season.

Dunn has been less than impressive during his time with the Bulls, but has the talent to really breakout this season. Carter Jr. might be the most underrated prospect to come out of this draft class. Again, I may be completely off here, but let me be the first to jump on this Bulls’ bandwagon.
