Bulls have Giddey why would they need Denim?
I'm not big on Denim, but I think the argument is that you can never have enough players like that. Or maybe some people think he has the most upside...?
Who do you think the Bulls should pick at 10 or 11?
Why draft a player who's max upside puts him into conflict with a core player? Enough players like what? He shooting 27% from 3 and 69% at the FT line. 3 months ago Giddey wasnt worth 15M per to most Bulls fans. At 10 I'd rather have Khaman Maluach, Derik Queen or Collin Murray-Boyles.
I’d draft the best guy. I think Queen and Khaman will be gone at 10 anyway (assuming we don’t go back to 12).
Egor’s ceiling is nice:
https://youtu.be/3aYtZj9w6uI?si=VcEZY-Of1PjuwayDWhat’s wrong with developing another triple-double? Looks like a Billy PF to me anyway. That handle and vision for 6’9 is excellent. Either way he’d be a 3Y project.
I like Malauch as a prospect, regardless of our need for rim protection. Been sold. But I see him as a 20 MPG prospect. Chance he’ll be too weak to defend Cs. I don’t know for sure, but it’s a risk. If he can’t defend the NBA post-up, he’ll be unplayable at PF obviously, so he’s a position-less risk (bad kind) until he gains strength (probable) or offensive skills (ambiguous). Fine 10-14 pick imo. But I’d put Egor in strong consideration.
Ultimately I think AK doesn’t believe in 1-way defenders at C. I think he’d rather die on the Vuc hill. Obviously Vuc’s very bad. You can get away with a mediocre defensive C. But it’s very hard to win with a terrible offensive C with 0 on-ball skills these days. You’re pretty much better off playing a dinosaur (Horford), a tweener (DJJ). Bam, Chet, Wemby are good ball-handlers.
