2025 NBA Draft Prospects

If we land around the #10 mark, should we be drafting best player available or a player that fits with Coby, Giddey & Matas?

VJ would fit well between Coby & Giddey as guard or someone like Maluach to be our long term defensive center.

VJ will be gone by 4. Maluach will be #6-9. If we make playoffs will be around 15 and maybe someone like Collin Murray-Boyles, Will Rilley or Noa Essengue.

I would really prefer SF or C in the draft, because we will have 10-15 position anyway..

SF : Riley, CMB, Demin, McNeely, Knueppel, Penda
C : Newell, Queen, Malauch, Sorber

Someone of these guys..

Riley. Shows a little bit of everything here.

Kid has me intrigued, but I have to discount UofI players...feel like we (including the Bulls FO) have "homervision".

I still hope we pick lotto. We really should just shut it down instead of continuing to play like Huerter/Tre Jones.

If you most be in the play in, let it be as the 10th seed.

Based on the team we're building though, I don't want dumb and/or selfish players. No thanks on Bailey or Tre Johnson frankly.

Liam McNeeley last two games 5 for 26 shooting (2-18 from 3).

McNeeley has been pretty disappointing to me since he scored 38 against Creighton.

Me personally, I don’t much care anymore. At this point of my fanhood for the Bulls, I can’t wait game after game for lottery positioning. Not at the point of my life. Takes too much energy. You can literally find a good player in where in the draft. Picking 7th or 14th doesn’t concern me anymore. Just pick the RIGHT guy for the system or BPA. We can also attempt to trade up.

Got 2 layups with under 30 seconds left & a 3 right at the end to go 6-16. If you include conference tournament games he is 18-57 (32%) over the last 4 games.

I run with current odds like 50 time simulation, and 95% of time we stayed on same spot, but each time we moved in lottery was actually going down from 10th to 11th. This is your Chicago Bulls next year. This team and generation average draft pick for 10th or 11th draft spot.

Now somebody will quote me how Matas was 11th and we got good player there. And I wont respond to that comment because whoever you are, you are trolling this community. So please keep those kind of comments for yourself.

It’s pretty obvious that you go out of your way to be negative towards Illinois players both as prospects and when they rarely land on the Bulls. Basically you are admitting that you aren’t objective by choosing to treat them by a different standard. Your posts make a lot more sense now.

I don't disagree. It's hard to discern fact from homerism on this board, but moreso with the Bulls FO, who have struck me as too lazy to look far from home. Especially given UofI's less than consistently great past. If it makes you feel better, I have grown even more skeptical of Duke prospects in recent years...Jones notwitstanding.

Sign me up for Queen or CMB at this point.
