Chicago Bulls
Biggest need: Versatile 3 or 4
Players to target: Deni Avdija, Obi Toppin, Isaac Okoro
The Chicago Bulls already have a pretty solid group of young players to build around. The backcourt of Coby White and Zach LaVine is flawed and they need to develop more, but those are good building blocks to start with. The frontcourt is also promising with Wendell Carter and Lauri Markkanen (if he can stay healthy).
With the Bulls finally parting ways with Gar Forman and Jon Paxson to bring in a new President of Basketball Operations, Arturas Karnisovas, there’s reason to be hopeful if you’re a Bulls fan. In fact, if it wasn’t for these uncertain times, I fully believe the city of Chicago would have thrown the biggest parade since the Cubs won the World Series to celebrate the regime change.
It will be important for the new front office to start on the right foot with this draft. And with a pick that will likely land in the latter half of the top 10, they’ll be in prime territory to fill a big need and pick up one of the better forwards in this draft.
