Adequate defensively. Average shooter. Cody Williams is another possibility. I just don't see them Drafting another guard unless they trade one of ours. Knecht will probably be gone. Collier is probably not an adequate shooter. Devin Carter is, but again we have enough guards. I don't care at this point whether we keep Patrick. He'll just sleepwalk through half the next seasons. And he doesn't want to play the "4" anyway. In his mind he's a "3".
Filipowski seems like he's an okay player, but at #11 I think the Bulls will pass on a few players who will end up with better NBA careers.
As a Duke fan and Filipowski fan...Kyle picked at #11 would be a really bad reach. I think he truly is a reach anywhere before #20. This is a bad draft, hands down, it just is and he is only projected in that 16-25 range. A good draft year and he'd be an early-mid 2nd round pick tbh. He doesn't do any one thing great or bad, he is just entirely mediocre across the board. And this is coming from a big fan!
