EPSN: Isaiah Collier, but they also had the Bulls at #10 so maybe it's an older mock?
The Ringer: Zaccahrie Risacher, also at #10.
NBADraft.net: Stephon Castle
NBADraftRoom: Reed Sheppard
Tankathon: Ron Holland

I don't think Risacher and Sheppard will be there at #11, but it's possible that someone drops. Every team that picks 1-10 could use a good small forward (less so Houston and Washington...but Washington needs BPA).

Detroit, Washington and San Antonio could all use a guard like Sheppard (maybe Houston and Utah too...Utah for taking BPA...Houston for a FVV replacement down the road). Detroit will pick too high to select him.

Just draft BPA. The team needs size, but don't draft size just to draft it.

Exactly, don't target position when you're in the situation the Bulls are in. Target talent, doesn't matter if it's another guard.

If the Bulls strike lotto luck and are in a position to draft Nikola Topic, they definitely should do so, doesn't matter if they have Ayo and Coby on the roster.

The mocks with the Bulls picking 10th probably did a lottery sim to determine the draft order first.

Yeah it's going to be an interesting draft as there is no clear cut top talent, picking later may be a blessing as someone is likely to fall through the cracks.

There's definitely no consensus out there who should be in the top 3.

3pt Shooting is all that matters.

Draft shooting. Not Dalen Terry’s.

That sounds like Dalton Knecht.

Shannon too. He has more shot creating ability

Hmmm...

Nuggets are near the bottom in 3P shooting, 9 3s per game at 26%. Imagine when they start hitting them.
Orlando & TWolves are also low 3P teams, 33% and 32%. Low volume too.

If I'm going to write a headline for these playoffs, it's "Big Is Back."

So many bigs, so many small guards and really almost no potential on-ball creators in this class. Almost nobody who really stands out to me. Might as well see how it works out with a giant center with good feel for the game. I also don't get how some people rank Holland outside of the top 10. In this class, he's top 5 based on upside alone IMO.

So far, my hope would be that Cody Williams somehow falls to the Bulls, which is kind of funny considering I loved his brother in the 2022 draft and really hoped he would fall to the Bulls. But I'm still early in my "scouting" process.
