His wingspan is the same as Derek Queens

He has a longer wingspan than Newell as well and only 1 inch less on standing reach.

I didn't like him before but now - woof. Just don't see it. Happy to let someone else be right about him.

Julius Randle: 6'7.75 barefoot, 8'9.5 standing reach, 7'0 wingspan, 249 lbs
Aaron Gordon: 6'7.50 barefoot, 8'9.5 standing reach, 6'11.75 wingspan, 220 lbs

Murray-Boyles is an inch shorter and in between them weight wise, but checks off everywhere else. I think the concern was if the 6'8 mark was accurate, but it more/less is with shoes. I think he can definitely defend 4's at the next level.

I think he's being underrated some. Skilled player with strong two-way upside. Needs to make some strides with the jumper. Big improvement as a playmaker this past season.

A good read here. First time I’ve seen Cedric Coward’s name mentioned in this range (14 overall)

I mentioned Cedric Coward around 2 months ago as a sleeper pick. Didn't think he'd enter the draft after he committed to Duke a few weeks ago. He might enter the draft if he has a first round guarantee.

As I said in previous weeks I would gladly take him at #12, solid fit alongside our core, on wings with Buz

So now that Bigfoot has given the Mavs Cooper Flagg for trading Luka to LA.

I looked at a few mocks for players around the Bulls range (specifically 10-16).

Asa Newell, Carter Bryant, Kasparas Jakucionis, Egor Demin, Liam McNeeley, Jase Richardson, Derik Queen, Will Riley, Noa Essengue, Collin Murray-Boyles, Nolan Traore, Rasheer Fleming and Nique Clifford.

Those are all the names over the several mocks I viewed.

Guys I'd be very happy with:
Carter Bryant
Noa Essengue

Guys I'd be happy/fine with:
Rasheer Fleming
Kasparas Jakucionis

Guys I could be probably talked into liking:
Will Riley
Egor Demin (borderline)

Guys I absolutely do NOT want:
Collin Murray-Boyles
Asa Newell
Jase Richardson
Liam McNeeley
Derik Queen
Nolan Traore
Nique Clifford

Obviously others could fall or others may rise, but this is just a list of what's projected right now.

He averaged 20 pts a game on a .630 TS% while having an elite assist to turnover ratio for a power forward. His OBPM was elite for college.

He's a top 20 pick at those numbers. I assumed he would be way shorter. He has rocketed up my board. He and Raynaud are my risers this week.

I've wanted the Bulls to draft KJ all along, so if he's available I'd be happy.

I don't know enough about Carter Bryant and will have to look him up. I watched footage on Noa Essengue and he's interesting, but I have a feeling that it'll take awhile for him to develop (more than most players). But the Bulls are in no position not to take BPA.

Fleming is interesting, but seems to go later on in most mocks...? Will Riley too.

I tend to agree with you about your "do not want" list, although I can be convinced about Asa Newell.

He's grown on me tremendously. Now that we are locked in at 12, he's very high on my list of preferred targets. The more I watch his video, the more I love his game.

That's definitely not true. Unless you have a very narrow definition of offense.
