4. Chicago Bulls – Deni Avdija, F, Maccabi Tel Aviv

There are several different ways the Chicago Bulls could ultimately go with the third pick, but there might not a better option for the team than Deni Avdija. Even though many casual fans aren’t familiar with Avdija, this is a player that many will quickly fall in love with as he continues to develop as a player.

Avdija is a 6-foot-9 forward that will likely be able to play multiple positions at the NBA level. He’s a versatile offensive player that can score from all three levels and is still improving as a playmaker. He’s far from a finished product and will be able to grow next to Chicago’s young core.

While Avdija could make some of Chicago’s future decisions even more difficult, at this point this new front office should be focusing on acquiring as much talent as possible. Adding another talented forward would be just that.
