Yeah, absolutely defense first. Semi-ideal fits that we almost certainly won't be able to draft are Edgecomb and Maluach. I'd say go for the guy that looks like he has the best chance to be better than Smith, Ayo or Ball. Because those 3 will fill the roles you describe if we don't find someone better.

Maluach should be there in the 8-11 range and he has to be the pick for the Bulls if that is where they are drafting. To get Edgecombe the Bulls have to move up to 4. Those are the 2 best fits for this Bulls team.

Yeah if we can draft either of them it's a no brainer. I just don't think we'll be able to. I think there's a pretty good chance we'll sneak into the playoffs and pick 16th. If not, I still think we'll be in the 10-12 range and I think there's a good chance Maluach and obviously VJ will be gone by then. Sucks.

Some names in there that I wasn't familiar with...interesting.

I feel like the 2nd best player in the draft could be found anywhere from 2-15, but that isn't because they are all so good, but its that they are all differently flawed.

I get it. The Bulls are picking somewhere from 11-15th so you want to think they can get a good player. Maybe they will, they got Matas at 11th though i dont see a player with his upside falling in this class. But every once in a awhile i gem is found in that range. But i can guarantee you the talent level from 2-7 is WAY better then 7-15 as it is in almost every draft.

He would have been a great fit for this current Bulls team. Will be excited to watch him play wherever he goes though.

I will be curious to see what his draft measurement is.

If the Bulls make the playoffs, I'd definitely consider him at 15/16 if he's still there.

Rasheer Fleming. That guy looks like a sleeper mid-round pick. 6’9” with a 7’5” wingspan? Rim protector, excellent 3ball, quickness, steals, passes, good post moves. I would be thrilled to get him if we’re picking outside the lottery. Maybe even in the 11-14 range.

athletic high-energy big wing with plus defense feels like a pretty ideal archetype to add to this roster

From Bleacher last mock draft a few days ago

Pro Comparison: Marcus Morris
Carter Bryant added more highlights of shotmaking and explosive finishing to his predraft tape in Arizona's opening-round win.
Top 10 in the country in freshmen BPM, he's been reliable and efficient playing exclusively off the ball, which should make it easier for teams to picture him fitting in early.
Ultimately, there should be a number of first-round suitors that will covet a 6'8", three-and-D wing.

I think this years draft will be in the end better than people thought at first.. Bulls could still find very solid player even in 10-15 range again. A lot of solid wings and few centers to get.

My current top 3 for that range :
Collin Murray Boyles, Will Riley and Rasheer Fleming

2nd round :
Joan Beringer (probably not there anymore,but if he is, we gotta pick him up)

I really want our 2nd rounder to be traded away because it will likely mean that at least one of Vuc or Carter will go with it.

I think there's a lot of low usage freshmen excelling in specific roles that are being knocked for excelling in their role over putting up stats but ultimately losing.

I also think there's annually this weird group think consensus that sees mock drafts and even then eventual drafts following what seems like a pre-determined established order.

If Jase Richardson or Carter Bryant or a number of other young players were given the green light to have a 28% Usage, they could put up numbers like Ace Bailey while their teams loses too.

Rutgers is just this years G-League Ignite.

Sort of weird that Matas fell in the last draft given how crappy that class was too. Either way, you should never count on a guy in the draft in our range being a starting caliber player, we're picking in the rotation caliber player range. You might get lucky and get a starter or a star or unlucky and get a bust, but the median outcome is probably rotation player.
