Official: Bulls Get 7th Pick.

[WindyCityBorn]

I'm not even excited. Top 2 or bust for me. I'm not saying there won't be a great player drafted after #2. Just no one I would get excited about immediately.

SERIOUSLY WHY THE **** IS TIME GOING BY SO SLOWLY RIGHT NOW

[kodo]

Omg if third pick is true we can grab RJ!

I’d be so ****ing happy with RJ. Any of the top three have plenty of potential.

Me too man. Top 3 I'm good. People act like a freshman is a finished product. I'll take RJ.

Exactly. And he has the highest potential to create offense all-around; he’s physically gifted, gets others involved, can create his own.. he just had a tough season hitting shots but if he gains more confidence in his shot, watch out. The rest of the puzzle is already there.

I would love RJ if he was a better defender, not-so-great shooters with his frame and passing ability have been great like Iguodala. But they were elite defenders. RJ was flat out uncaring.

If he could defend at all I'd probably have him #2 on my board. Maybe it was a "I can't afford to foul out" thing, I'm not sure.

I actually like your Iggy comparison,

but I think that RJ's potential is higher... he's a way better scorer than Iggy was in college.

[bledredwine]

OK guys.

Let's increase our chances at good fortune with the basketball Gods.

Can any trades already happen after tonight or only on draft day and after?

Iggy might be a better athlete TODAY than Barrett.

[SSSFreak]

Here's hoping we get lucky and land top 2 I guess.

[SfBull]

We are getting the 6th pick fellas. But that’s not a bad thing. Let’s go get Deandre Hunter.

Let's get Coby White with that pick.

[ImSlower]

Well no matter what spot we get, this forum is going to have some seriously bad takes regarding what to do with the pick. I'll almost certainly be dreadfully wrong myself. It's going to be a long damn month alright.

[Payt10]

As long as it's not CLE getting the #1 pick for the 300th time and the Bulls don't land with the worst pick possible, I'll be content.

Sidenote: If they land somewhere in that #3-#5 range, I'd bet money on the Bulls trading a future 1st to move up to get Morant—basically what Dallas did last year with ATL to get Luka.

why would i want the bulls to get zion if i can't even watch him play for an entire year?

[Wingy]

If we get the first pick, we not only get Zion but we likely get Rerisen and all the other posters back we've lost to apathy.

Even if there's a small chance, we owe this to everyone who's not in this room...to try.

[SfBull]

I'll be sick if N.Y. or Clev win it. Ny because they would become instant contenders and very likely land 3 superstars at once. Clev has already won 3 of the last 12, plus it's just a bad spot for Zion.

Cleveland would be a great spot for him after Beilien's hiring.

[ThisGuyFawkes]

1 more hour to go... Although I'm guessing there will be 30 minutes or more of ESPN filler bs before the actually teams are revealed.

Not if the Suns are #2 and even then we would probably have to outbid them.

[umfan83]

My reaction to each draft slot:

1 or 2 - infinitely more excited about the Bulls immediate and long term future
3-5 - Acceptable outcomes, definitely some guys I like and will cause me to stay invested in the draft workout process
6-7 - will at first be upset but eventually will accept that this was the most likely outcome
8 - Go f- yourself NBA

[Chicagoat]

For me, if the Knicks, Cavs, or Lakers don't win it and we don't get ****. I will be happy.

[bullsnewdynasty]

I would be stoked with a top 3 pick. I just hope the Cavs/Suns don't get the #1 pick. Those franchises have already had so many opportunities to land top talent.

[bullsnewdynasty]

I get the concerns about RJ but he is already a matchup nightmare, doesn't turn 19 until June!!!, godson of Steve Nash who has already said his playmaking is off the charts for his age.
